Marble

Indian and imported marble slabs and tiles for flooring, cladding and counters.

Product overview

Marble is a metamorphic stone valued for its depth, veining and the fact that it can be polished to a mirror finish. Indian varieties such as Makrana, Ambaji and Katni sit alongside imported Italian stones like Statuario and Carrara.

It is softer and more porous than granite, so it stains and etches more easily. With sealing and sensible placement — away from acidic kitchen use and heavy outdoor traffic — it lasts generations.

Typical units: sq ft. Priced per square foot with a wide range; polishing, edge work and laying are separate line items.

Common applications

  • Living room and lobby flooring

Buying guide: marble

  • Inspect the actual slabs, not a sample chip — veining varies across the lot and you are buying a pattern, not a colour.
  • Check thickness consistency; 16–18 mm is common for flooring, 20 mm and above for counters.
  • Seal marble before and after installation, especially in kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Ask for the wastage estimate on layout — book-matched veining can push wastage above 15%.

Marble FAQs

Marble or granite for flooring?

Marble for a softer, more luxurious look in low-traffic areas; granite where you need hardness, stain resistance and minimal maintenance.

Does marble need sealing?

Yes. Marble is porous — a penetrating sealer applied at installation and periodically after keeps oil and acid stains out.
