How to Choose the Right Imported Marble for Flooring and Countertops
Imported marble adds timeless elegance and luxury to any space – but how do you choose the right one? At Shree Ram Stones (SRS), we simplify the journey for you with expert insights, premium collections, and decades of experience in the natural stone industry.
π️ Why Imported Marble?
Imported marble, especially from countries like Italy and Greece, is renowned for its superior quality, rich textures, and aesthetic appeal. Whether you're renovating a living room, designing a spa-style bathroom, or upgrading a kitchen, the right marble can transform your interiors into works of art.
But choosing the perfect imported marble depends on several factors—let’s explore.
✅ How to Choose the Right Imported Marble for Flooring & Countertops
1. Identify the Area of Use
-
Flooring: Go for harder and more durable marbles like Carrara White or Volakas.
-
Countertops: Choose denser and stain-resistant options like Lasa White or Michelangelo Marble.
2. Consider the Color Theme
Marble sets the tone of your interior. Decide if you want a warm, cozy feel or a bright, open aesthetic:
-
Warm tones: Italian Beige, Travertine, Botticino
-
Cool tones: Italian Grey, Carrara White, Volakas Marble
3. Match with Your Design Style
-
Modern homes: Go with sleek and subtle textures like Italian White or Statuario.
-
Classic/vintage homes: Opt for marbles with rich veining such as Michelangelo Marble or Lasa White.
4. Assess Durability & Maintenance
Some marbles are more porous than others:
-
Travertine requires sealing and regular care.
-
Carrara and Statuario are more suitable for long-term installations with less maintenance.
5. Examine the Finish Options
-
Polished Finish: For a high-gloss, luxurious look (ideal for countertops).
-
Honed Finish: Matte and slip-resistant (ideal for flooring).
-
Brushed/Antique Finish: For rustic, natural vibes.
