Why will marble never go out of style? 

Marble is extremely durable. Marble is a natural stone, which is one of the most sustainable building materials. With proper care, marble can enhance the beauty of your design for long decades. Some great examples of how long marble can last are Taj Mahal, The Pantheon, and The US Supreme Court. 

Countless colors and patterns allow marble to withstand shift in trends. It is a common misconception that marble only works for classy and traditional styles. In fact, because of a huge  variety of colors, patterns, and polishes, marble works well practically for any design style.

Marble is Versatile. You can successfully use marble in both exterior and interior design, residential and commercial design and building projects, in bathrooms, kitchens, halls, and even more! 

Marble is Rare and Unique. As one of the most rare types of natural stone, marble will always be in demand. It is unique in its looks and high quality, which will never go out of style.

Granite kitchen countertops, marble flooring tile, quartz kitchen islands, and sandstone outside steps — natural stone materials can fulfill any demand when it comes to design and construction. But despite its greatness, there’re many myths around natural stone. In last week’s Xiamen Aofei Building Materials blog article, our experts have already debunked some of the most spread-out myths about natural stone. Today, we’ll continue!

Natural Stone is Very Expensive

Although natural stone is commonly used in upscale projects and luxury designs, it does not mean that it is unaffordable for smaller budgets. The cost can vary depending on many factors, such as the type of stone, demand and availability, and rarity. Sometimes natural stone slabs are even cheaper than artificial and manmade materials. 

Natural Stone Surfaces are Easy to Stain

How easily a material stains also depends on many factors, for example, porosity, finish, color, and polishing. And while granite won’t stain much and thus widely used in kitchens and baths, marble is more porous and will stain easier. But even with marble, as long as you clean up the spills straight away and take care of the surfaces, your marble countertops and table will stay perfect for decades.

1. Natural Stone Is Not On-Trend Anymore

While it is true that there are many alternatives to natural stone nowadays, natural stone has not gone out of fashion for centuries. One reason for it is a huge range of colors, patterns, and finishes different types of natural stone have.

Natural stone can fit any style, from classy and traditional to contemporary and modern.

If you want to express your passion for a more practical and modern style of living or your company’s orientation, you should consider using minimalistic white marble flooring with gray marble metallic accents, and white marble stairs with glass. Such hall design for your business space will show the focus of the company on the future and practicality.

2. Natural Stone is Hard to Take Care of

This is a very popular myth among the general public. The intensity of stone maintenance depends on the type of stone. And while marble would require slightly more attention and some special cleaning products, granite often only requires a damp cloth and some water. If you want your natural stone products to last longer, make sure you refinish it once in a while and clean up all the spills on time. Always ask your natural stone supplier about the specifics of the building material you are buying, as the maintenance also depends on the usage and finish of the material.

In the world of interior design, in glossy magazines, and from designers themselves we often hear that “marble is always a good idea”, and it is almost always true — this beautiful natural building material, if used right, can make any place look stylish and add value to it. However, sometimes it can be quite challenging to incorporate marble into your project, one example is living rooms. To make the most out of your marble investment, whether it is marble living room flooring, marble slab countertops or full slab walls, you need to be well acquainted with the aesthetics and technical characteristics of the material. Earlier this week, Xiamen Aofei Building Materialsexperts already showed some of the successful examples of marble in living rooms and explained why they work. Today, we'll continue with even more.
