These marble tiles flow easily between traditional or contemporary décor depending on the other elements added to the room. Marble tile showers are beautiful, but do require more maintenance than porcelain. Because of this, some opt to use porcelain for the shower walls and marble for the rest of the bathroom.

Popular Marble Sizes
In the past, 12×12 marble tiles were the staple. But as the flooring market has gone towards larger formats, marble sizes have followed suit. At one point, 18×18 tiles were considered large. Now 24×24 marble tile is standard fare, even for bathroom floors.

The 12×24, seen as more modern than the traditional square tile, has become another popular size, spurred on by the rise in contemporary interiors. The rectangle being seen as more modern that the traditional square tile. Along those same lines, some factories, have rolled out 24×48 marble tile, this in an effort to satisfy the growing demand for less grout and larger sizes.

Polished versus Honed Marble

Whether one selects Polished marble or Honed Marble depends on several factors. Polished marble tile is elegant. It has a tendency to be formal and reads cool, rather than warm. By contrast, Honed marble tile, can be a little warmer. Polishing marble does close down the “pores” and makes the stone less likely to stain, which can be a bonus. Those concerned about their marble floor being too slippery will often choose the honed marble texture.

Marble Tile Patterns Floors

Square Lay. This is the most common marble or tile pattern, possibly because it is the easiest to install or because it is the least distracting. Tiles are laid side by side and form straight lines which make grids similar to graph paper. If going for the modern marble tile look, this would be a good pattern to use.
Offset. Each tile is offset. The lines do not line up. This can be achieved with a square tile. If a rectangle tile is used it is called a running bond pattern.
Diagonal. The tile is laid on a 45-degree angle creating a diamond pattern, as opposed to square. This is a popular pattern with marble, as it is seen as more elegant.
Herringbone. This shape is created when rectangular tiles are installed in a 45-degree V shape. It can have the effect of expanding a small room.

We just completed a full remodel of our master bathroom. We bought all our tile including floor, shower walls, shower floor and vanity quartz tops from the Stone Quarry of Jupiter. Jolinda was so great to work with and very helpful making suggestions on style and color schemes. Everything came in on a timely manner and in great condition. We love it all! We highly recommend working with her and will definitely work with her on future projects.

Jolinda is beyond phenomenal. We were looking for an alternative for hardwood flooring in our office suite, because we did not want to deal with the upkeep of hardwood. She opened our eyes to tiles that have that desired wood-grain finish at a cost effective manner with a personal touch.

The owner, Jolinda, has a wonderful eye for color and has filled her store with treasures. She helped me pick out a superior product that was in my budget and is a real pleasure to work with. Check out the Stone Quarry of Jupiter! You'll be happy you did.
