Marble has the advantage of looking natural and unique usually grey- or cream-colored with darker veins running through them. No two tiles are exactly alike. To make tiles, marble stone is sized and cut, then polished and finished on one side to create a uniform surface and thickness.
Tiles are a type of ceramic tiles made with a refined clay usually red or white clay. This special process makes porcelain tiles less absorbent, thicker, and more durable, and thus suitable as flooring. Compared to marble, tiles are less likely to stain.
