Marble effect tiles - FAQ

What is the difference between marble and marble effect?

Marble tiles are made from real marble. A naturally occurring material that is quarried from the earth. It requires sealing and electric cutters to cut and fix.

Marble effect tiles are made of ceramic and porcelain with a marble print to replicate the look of real marble. They are usually glazed so no sealing required and easy to cut and fix.

Do marble-effect tiles look realistic?

Marble effect tiles can look very realistic depending on the printing technique used. Digital printing means photos of real marble can be applied to each tile with variations between tile faces, within each pack meaning you can reproduce a random, natural look you can only get from natural stone tiles.

Are marble-effect tiles slippery?

Marble effect tiles with a polished finish can be slippy if water is left on top of the tile. If being used in a bathroom it is a good idea to have bathroom matts available in front of wet zones such as showers and baths to help.

Matt finish tiles that have an R rating of 11 or higher will be hard to slip on when wet.

Do marble-effect tiles stain?

All our marble effect tiles are glazed which means the surface is non porous and stops staining.

Any tile that does not have a glaze will require sealing to stop them from absorbing moisture and staining.

Are marble-effect tiles glossy?

Marble effect tiles can come in different finishes as they are man made.

  • Gloss - ceramic wall and floor tiles
  • Polished - porcelain tiles
  • Matt/satin - either ceramic or porcelain tiles

Are marble-effect tiles waterproof?

All our marble effect tiles are glazed meaning they are non porous and do not require sealing.

Glazed tiles are recommended in wet zones such as showers and baths.

The glaze is a protective coating that protects tiles from staining and bacteria.
