Frequently asked questions
Do Marble Effect Tiles Need Sealing?
Our marble effect tiles do not require sealing. We source the highest quality porcelain, which has a very low absorption rate and is resistant to staining.
Porcelain tiles are generally considered very low-maintenance.
How do you clean marble effect tiles?
Marble Effect tiles are very easy to keep clean; their low porosity and near-perfect stain resistance make them a very low-maintenance alternative to natural stone. This means they can be cleaned with most household cleaners available at the supermarkets or for the best results we do recommend dedicated tile cleaners such as Mapei Ultracare Grout Cleaner, Mould Remover and Multicleaner for an all round shine.
What are the best marble effect tiles for kitchen floors?
Porcelain tiles are highly recommended for kitchen floors due to their durability, low maintenance, and resistance to moisture and stains, making them ideal for high-traffic and spill-prone areas like kitchens. Utilising advanced digital printing technology to mimic the realistic veining and texture of real marble. Collections like Elementa, Classique, and Crystal Vein offer an incredibly authentic marble look with the added benefits of porcelain.
What is the difference between Marble and Marble-Effect Tiles?
The main difference between marble and marble effect tiles lies in the material composition and how they are produced. Marble is a natural stone formed over time within the earth and extracted through quarrying. Each slab is unique, with natural veining and tonal variation.
Marble effect tiles are a man-made alternative, typically crafted from porcelain. Advanced manufacturing technology is used to replicate the appearance, texture, and patterning of real marble with a high level of accuracy. Porcelain itself is produced from refined kaolin clay and fired at very high temperatures. This process creates a dense, durable, and non-porous tile that is well-suited to both wall and floor applications.
Why Choose Marble Effect Tiles?
Marble effect tiles are typically made from porcelain, offering a practical alternative to natural stone. Their low porosity means no sealing is required, and they are highly resistant to stains and moisture, making them ideal for bathrooms, wet rooms, and walk-in showers.
They are also more cost-effective than real marble, with modern manufacturing delivering a wide range of colours, finishes, and textures. For a more uniform look, marble effect porcelain tiles provide consistent patterning and a cohesive finish.
