Marble and porcelain tile flooring are both among the most sought-after flooring option across the world. But if a choice had to be made between the two, then it’s important to understand what sets them apart from each other. An uninformed decision here would, of course, turn out to be counterproductive.
First, both marble and porcelain tile come in a variety of shades, shapes, designs, and patterns. While marble is a natural stone, porcelain tile is made of white clay and other naturally occurring materials processed together. As far as the aesthetic appeal goes, they are both desirable and very luxurious. The real difference, in fact, comes in the way they are used. Marble can be used anywhere – on the walls and cooking counters as well. It is also ideal for bathrooms and shower areas, thanks to its moisture and water absorbent qualities. One weak point of marble tiles is that marble entails a little more cleaning and maintenance when compared to porcelain. Porcelain flooring, being nonporous, can hold out against a lot more thrust and pressure than marble which makes it ideal for heavy traffic areas.
Without a doubt, both porcelain and marble tiles are elegant flooring options for your home. They both have their pros and cons but what thing in the world has it all going strong? The ultimate choice comes down to you. So think about what matters to you – price, durability, stain resistance or ease of maintenance and make an informed decision.
