1. What are Marble Tiles?

Marble tiles are certainly no longer unfamiliar to many people; this is one of the popular tiling choices in interior decoration. Marble look tiles are essentially porcelain tiles with a wavy surface and vein pattern, authentically simulating the cross-sections of natural marble stones.

1.2. Origin
Marble is a very popular natural stone, quarried and cut into slabs for various applications, and has been a very popular building material for millennia. It is a metamorphic rock formed when sedimentary rock, such as limestone, is transformed under heat and pressure into a harder stone with beautiful colors and patterns.
