Overview of the pros and cons of marble flooring from a daily maintenance perspective.

Marble flooring has a natural glow that makes the decoration look bright and elegant, and regular polishing is recommended to maintain its lustre. Marble is especially prone to damage and discolouration from coloured substances that soak into its pores. Since replacing marble stone is not a simple task, it is also crucial to protect the floor from scratches when moving heavy things and furniture. On the other hand, LVT flooring is easier to maintain because its top layer has an antifouling effect, is typically cleaned with water, and isn’t prone to excessive pressure or puncture damage from sharp objects. Therefore, it has gained a lot of popularity among bourgeois youth in recent years.【Like sand texture Marble style recommended: Affogato Marble
