Marble

For homeowners who want the ultimate in classic elegance, marble is the obvious choice. This metamorphic stone has been praised for centuries for its natural beauty, smooth feel, and versatility. If you visit countries such as Italy and India, you will see marble everywhere – on floors, columns, and statues created by renowned artists. While marble can scratch if placed in heavy-traffic areas, it is ideal for areas of the home that get wet, such as bathrooms.

If you are a fan of marble, consider the following uses.

Bathroom Countertops
Sinks
Showers
Fireplaces and Hearths
Stairways and Bannisters

If you are interested in adding the elegance of marble to your home, please visit our showroom in Troy or our Sterling Heights location. Here, a friendly staff member will show you examples of the stunning marble options available.

We like for our customers to see and touchstone samples, so they can gain a better understanding of which materials are best for their intended home designs. For example, you may discover that you want the look and feel of marble but require a more durable stone. In that case, we have beautiful engineered quartz options. We also carry a wide range of granite, quartzite, porcelain, and soapstone options.
