With the best prices and service of Tile Stores Mansfield, TX, The Floor Barn enjoys sharing with you their expertise. This blog post covers the use of Marble Tile in your bathroom.

Many years ago, marble tile was a sign of wealth of power that was widely used in homes, government buildings, churches and other prominent buildings. Marble tile has become more readily available to the public thanks to new distribution channels and reduced costs. The question we often see in arise in our tile stores Mansfield is whether or not it is been applied to the right situations.

Marble tile if constructed properly is a timeless beauty. However there are some drawbacks that a homeowner needs to consider before purchasing it for their home.

The most often application we see people inquire about marble tile is for use in the bathroom. It can give you a beautiful natural look to your bathroom, however it is a high maintenance area. Marble is a soft stone that is very absorbent so you will need to reseal the tile on a regular basis, about every 6-9 months. So for more many homeowners, that eliminates the use of granite because they do not want to have to deal with it. Another thing to consider is that the surface is smooth and can be a little too slippery for the bathroom area, especially for the elderly.

The same things thats apply to the bathroom area, need to be considered when thinking about using marble in the kitchen, for countertops for example.

A place that we see marble used a lot that does not require a ton of maintenance is the fireplace.
