Warmly elegant Carrara marble floors are the ideal solution for those who want to give their home a touch of elegance that will not be lost in current fashions.
The price of a Carrara marble floor depends on many aspects let us now see, however, what are these aspects so detterminating in calculating the price of a marble floor.
A marble floor blends perfectly with any type of furniture, in fact there are innumerable types of marble in nature, ranging from a very white base color to absolute black.
Marble can be used for both indoor and outdoor flooring, let’s go over in detail what are the differences for these two types of flooring marble floors for interiors the use of marble for indoor flooring as already written gives a unique elegance to the rooms , this type of flooring, like all types of building materials has pros and cons.
Undoubtedly one of the strengths of this material is its durability and resistance to bending, a second quality not to be underestimated is the fact that marble can be worked in the sizes and shapes that best suit your project.
The most elegant solution that the wall tiles market offers, current fashions increasingly tend to use mass-produced ceramics , thus making any room lacking in personality.
A marble flooring is capable of restoring personality and elegance to any project in which it is used.Being a natural stone, marble is not replicable, it cannot be mass-produced.This characteristic of marble makes each marble flooring unique and not replicable.
The natural veins of the stone intertwine to form geometric patterns that will be able to make you recognize your floor among 1000 others.

There are three main ways of making marble flooring and they are the following
:
– open spot floor
– running spot floor
– random floor
These are some of the reasons by which the Carrara marble floor price ,the first type of paving, consists of forming geometric shapes in the assembly phase of the floor. Not all types of marble lend themselves to this type of processing, in fact, in order to process stone with this technique we need large starting slabs that must have numerous veins on their surface, preferably large ones.
To apply this particular processing technique, the marble slabs must all be digitally scanned, and the cuts must all be calculated according to the size of the room so that the entire pattern that will be formed is centered.
Here is an example:

Marble laid correctly and its surface is sealed by
specific treatments, it is practically eternal.
The cons that we can find in the installation of marble flooring are mainly two , the first is of an economic nature, in fact some ( not all ) types of marble can be less economical than a traditional ceramic tile flooring, the second is of a technical nature in fact marble as a limestone is sensitive to the use of acidic cleaning substances.
In the past there was another disadvantage of using marble for indoor flooring and that was weight ( 2 cm marble weighs about 60 kg per square meter ), with the development of lightened marble technology the weight problem no longer exists.
The finishes that can be used for indoor marble flooring are:
– polished
– smooth
marble floors for outdoor Marble floors for outdoor use maintain the aesthetic and mechanical qualities of marble used for interior cladding , the only difference between these two types of use ta in the finishes of use, in fact polishing and honing cannot be used as they would be too slippery, the finishes that can be used in the supply of marble floors for outdoor use are:
– brushed
– bush-hammered
– acidification

the second type, that is, running flooring , unlike the previous one , does not form geometric patterns during laying, but rather lets all the veins run throughout the entire size of the room to be floored.
Like the previous technique, running flooring to be done accurately requires a careful design phase, in which the slabs are scanned, and then cut to best fit the room.
