Marble bathroom tiles might look beautiful, but are they really as durable as the alternatives? And when can you expect to replace them?
Long-lasting Bathroom Tiles
Let’s dispel one myth up front. Marble tiles are incredibly durable, and there’s no limit to how long they’ll last, assuming you look after them properly.
After all, there’s a reason that marble is commonly associated with classical architecture and sculpture. It’s a fairly durable material and, although softer than granite or slate, there’s no good reason why marble tiles can’t be a part of your ‘forever bathroom’.
Caring For Marble Bathroom Tiles
For the most part, caring for marble bathroom tiles is as simple as remembering to reseal them once a year and, if they’re starting to look a little scruffy, having them polished once every five years or so.
Because it is a fairly soft stone, it’s true that marble can build up small dents and dings over time, but, excepting serious abuse, these can easily be polished out by a professional.
The Advantages of Marble Bathroom Tiles
It’s also important to note that marble tiles do come with some serious benefits over other materials, not least of which is the vibrant, bright colour.
Even after a couple of years, marble bathroom tiles that may be in good need of a polish will still retain that strong, bright colour and beautiful patterning that you won’t find in any other material.
Not that there’s only one type of colour and patterning to choose from. Whether you’re looking for an onyx black marble or something in a deep ocean blue, you can rest assured that the colour won’t fade over time.
Because of its strong colour, marble often brings a feeling of warmth, especially when paired with a lot of natural sunlight. And if there’s one thing we all know that any bathroom needs, it’s a little bit of warmth to brighten up those cold Monday morning showers.
