From flooring, to walls, kitchens to bathrooms; marble tiles are able to transform an ordinary room into a living space with magnificence and unique looks. It’s also worth noting that tiles made of marble are not pricey as many might think, especially if you source them from a company that seeks to make natural stone affordable without affecting the quality such as Tile Land Ltd, where durable, easy to maintain and clean marble tiles within London can be found.
Homes in London that have used marble have a very appealing and classical elegant look. It allows the owner to play around with different colours that leads to a great design not only eye catching but also beautiful. The great thing is, organic materials like marble that have been used literally for millenia – and therefore never go out of style.FadelessAnother reason it is so timeless is that it does not wear out or fade. While tiles made of other materials require polishing after a few years, the ones you can get from your preferred marble tile shop in London – Tile Land – do not require thorough polishing as they are made of natural materials.
Not affected by the elementsIn contrast with other types of tiles, marble is not affected by the elements, such as contracting or expanding when exposed to heat or cold, which could cause cracks. It is durable, strong and able to withstand extreme weather conditions without so much as a scuff. Perfect for the British weather in London and the rest of the UK which we are pleased to say that we have next day delivery to for all of our products and materials – whether it’s marble tiling that you’re after, travertine mosaics, or limestone paving – we’ve got you covered.Health benefitsAs natural stones, tiles that you can get in London at Tile Land come with a lot of health benefits. For instance, they keep germs and other microscopic particles away if kept well cleaned, as unlike carpets, they don’t accumulate dust, pollen, hair, and other allergens. A simple mop or wipe does the trick – even for spills and accidents such as with pets. This is especially important when it comes to your kitchen or bathrooms, and particularly when using marble flooring.
It’s important to have existing tiles and flooring, if any, removed. If you have ceramic tiles, you will be smashing them using a hammer and then removing them. If you have old vinyl tiles, you will be ripping them up using a pry bar. Once you have removed old tiles, you need to clean the surface that the tiles will be lying on. It has to be properly cleaned and thoroughly dried.The floor area needs to be levelled before installation can begin. Kitchens and bathrooms must be prepared throroughly beforehand. Essentially, marble tiles are relatively brittle and susceptible to breaking if you do not install them on a levelled floor. All defects or bumps on the floor will have to be filled up using thin-set type of cement or sanded down. If cement is used, you must ensure it has dried completely before you continue. Plywood subfloors can also be used to level the floor. Cleaning marble tile surfacesFor marble floors and walls to continue to look beautiful for years and decades, you need to clean them correctly. To effectively do this you will need commercial cleaning products specifically made for your surfaces. The cleaners need to come with the right pH. If it doesn’t, the word “beauty” could start to turn into “dull” or “corroded”.Home-based cleaning preparationsYou can also use homemade preparations to clean your floor. Fill a bucket with clean, cool water and add stone soap or liquid detergent to the water, which should be cool. Ensure the detergent is gentle and close to a pH of 7 (neutral). Using a mop, wash the floor as you would a regular floor. Finish by mopping over the floor again using clean, dirt-free water and leave the surface to dry. In case of spots and scruff marks, you can erase those too. Add a gentle cleanser (neutral pH) to a felt pad to remove the marks by rubbing along the marble’s grain. Do not rub the pad in a circular motion because it could leave marks behinds.Waxing the floor
You can also wax the floor to prevent it from getting dirty and to keep it looking shiny. However, hard wax should be used since soft wax usually discolours the marble. Do not forget that while waxing brings out a unique synthetic shine to the surface, it has to be regularly stripped off, something that could cause the veins within the material to rupture, leading to spalling. It needs to be protected using a penetrating seal stops staining. If you must wax, always use a professional to do so.Commercial preparations in London are available for all kinds of marble surfaces. Since they come with manufacturer’s instructions, it’s important to follow them to the letter and even ask the retailer questions if you have any.Marble surface tile preventionsAs you might have noticed, ensuring floors are free of grime, scratches or stains is a time consuming job and lots of preventative measures exist that need to be considered. One way to prevent grime is to have a doormat at the entrance of a room just before the tile. Marble is not recommended in areas of the house where you eat or prepare food but in case this cannot be helped, have a rug under the areas food is eaten or prepared. Before you walk on the floor, do not forget to remove snow boots. Salt is capable of dissolving marble and pitting it. Pets should be kept off of its surfaces; their claws can scratch the floor if they are always walking on it.
