Colors and veins in the marble arise when other materials are present in the earth crust along with limestone. Marble gives soft look and provides elegance to the modern era structures.
Implementation Raw Material
To implement marble flooring in any area, you would need marble stone, Coarse Sand, Ordinary Cement ,White Cement, Pigment and Polishing Material. Marble stone is laid on the base coat with 20 mm thick cement mortar 1:3 and joint should be filled with cement mixed with pigment. After curing it should be polished.
Style/Finishing : Marble flooring is considered very stylish and  3 type of finishes can be given to marble:
Polished Finish, Hone Finish, Sand or abrasive finish.
Maintenance: Marble are easy to maintain and can be re-polished if you need to bring the shine back, is a porous material so if strong stain material is spilled on marble, it is recommended to wipe it quickly so that the marble does not absorb the stain For general maintenance you just need to wipe off the marble to remove the stains. Polishing can be done after a few years to bring back the shine.
