Marble-look porcelain stoneware: elegance and timelessness for every room with marble tiles

With its natural grain and shiny surface, marble adds a special elegance to any room. Despite its timeless beauty, it is an expensive and sophisticated choice for many. The use of marble-look porcelain stoneware is proving to be a real game changer. Porcelain stoneware tiles, which we at SCHUBERT STONE sell under our own brand "Technostein", not only offer the aesthetic beauty of marble, but also an unbeatable combination of affordable prices and durability. In this blog post, let us take a closer look at why marble-effect porcelain stoneware tiles are becoming increasingly popular and why you should consider using them for your home.

Why are floor tiles with a classic marble look so popular?

The appeal of the marble look is unmistakable and a very popular choice among homeowners looking to create a luxurious and elegant atmosphere. Marble-effect porcelain stoneware is very much in vogue at the moment, not least because of its unsurpassed advantages in terms of durability, ease of maintenance and cost. The slabs present a variety of appealing features that make them a first-class choice. 

What are the advantages of marble-look tiles?

Marble tiles offer countless benefits that make them a practical and popular choice for homeowners. One of the most obvious benefits is their durability. Porcelain stoneware is known for its strength and longevity and is able to withstand everyday wear and tear and heavy traffic in high-traffic areas. In addition, porcelain stoneware is very easy to maintain. Compared to natural marble, which requires regular sealing and careful cleaning, marble-effect porcelain stoneware tiles are acid-resistant, scratch-resistant, pore-proof and stain-resistant. Compared to real marble, porcelain stoneware is more affordable, available in very large slabs and can be perfectly integrated into the living concept depending on the style and requirements of the room.

Where can marble-look porcelain stoneware be laid?

Marble-effect porcelain stoneware tiles are an ideal choice for almost any room in your home. Their versatility and durability make them perfect for bathrooms, kitchens and living rooms.

In the kitchen, they help to enhance the aesthetics and design of the room, while providing an easy to clean and durable material that will stand up to everyday events. Depending on where you want a touch of luxury, walls and floors can be clad in the material. The marble effect adds a sophisticated touch to various areas of the home.
