What are Marble Surface Treatments?
Marmara silver marble and other marble varieties, due to their natural stone structure, are produced in a range of colors from pure white to onyx black. This natural character makes each type of marble unique and original. Marmara silver marble is applied in all desired areas, both indoors and outdoors. Furthermore, mineral alterations cause marbles to have different colors and patterns. For example, marble types containing hematite are red, while marble types containing limonite minerals are black, and those containing serpentine are green. The transformation of different minerals with calcite granules under high pressure and heat gives marble its unique colors. For Marmara silver marble and other models, the most preferred marble slab and tile surface treatments are polished or honed. While polished surfaces provide a showy appearance, they are also quite slippery on wet floors. For these reasons, honed marble surfaces are preferred for use on wet floors.
What are Antiqued Surface Marbles?
Lately, antiqued surface marbles, like Marmara silver marbles, are among the highly preferred products. These marbles with rustic surfaces are chosen because they provide a travertine look. The rough surfaces of antiqued marbles have rounded edges and corners. Marbles produced in different dimensions and with surface treatments are generally used for showers, floor coverings, and kitchen backsplash.
