Marble is a metamorphic rock composed primarily of recrystallised carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite. When you examine marble, you’ll notice its crystalline structure, which results from limestone undergoing intense heat and pressure within the Earth’s crust.

To protect stone floors, walls and counters, we recommend using a penetrating sealer such as MP90/MP90 Eco Plus. Care must be taken to avoid cleaning natural stone with harsh or abrasive cleaners, especially those that contain phosphoric ACID or glycolic acids. Be aware that acidic materials such as vinegar, and lemon juice can etch some stone surfaces such as some of the softer limestones. For maintenance, we recommend Fila Cleaner for tumbled stones and MOSAICS and brushed and honed products. Occasional deep cleaning may be required to restore and maintain the stone’s natural PATINA. Please consult with our sales staff for recommendations.
