Why choose marble effect porcelain tiles?

Natural marble has fascinated architects and sculptors for millennia, but its delicacy and porosity often make it a complex choice for contemporary living. This is where ceramics come into play: thanks to modern technologies, porcelain stoneware captures the visual essence of the stone, whilst eliminating its structural defects.

Here are the main advantages compared to quarried stone:

• Total impermeability: unlike real marble, porcelain is non-porous. It does not absorb liquids, oils or acids, making it perfect for kitchens and bathrooms;
• Ease of cleaning: forget expensive treatments or specific products. A damp cloth and a neutral detergent are all you need to keep your floor gleaming;
• Resistance and durability: porcelain is resistant to impact, wear and tear, and foot traffic. It is the ideal choice for high-traffic areas, maintaining its beauty unaltered over time.

Glossy or Matt porcelain: which is better?

When choosing your marble effect porcelain floor, the finish plays a crucial role that is not only aesthetic, but functional.

• Glossy Marble Effect (Polished/Lappato): this is the choice par excellence for those seeking the "wow" factor. The mirror-like surface enhances the depth of the veining and makes rooms look incredibly elegant and luxurious. However, it requires a little extra care regarding surface scratches; it is perfect for living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms;
• Matt Marble Effect (Matt): Offers a more natural and modern textural look, silky to the touch. It is extremely resistant to scratches and less slippery, making it the recommended solution for commercial flooring, ground-floor hallways or homes with pets and children.

The price of marble-effect porcelain stoneware

One of the most obvious strengths of this material is its exceptional value for money. While natural marble slabs can reach very high prices, often in the order of several hundred euros per square metre, the porcelain market offers decidedly more accessible solutions.

Generally, the market cost of first-choice marble effect porcelain stoneware varies within a range starting from approximately €25-30 per sq m for standard sizes and matt finishes, reaching up to €80-90 per sq m for large slabs, premium polished finishes or the most advanced printing technologies.

This accessibility allows you to achieve a top-level "luxury" aesthetic result on a modest budget, whilst also guaranteeing savings in the long term thanks to maintenance costs being practically nil compared to real stone.
