While marble tiles are known for their unmatched visual appeal, marble may not be the best choice in certain circumstances. Marble requires professional installation for ideal results, which may be a bit costly to designers on smaller budgets. Additionally, although it is durable, marble tile is more fragile than granite. Therefore, there is a slightly greater risk of chipping or cracking if the tile is struck by a blunt object.
If you choose to go with polished marble flooring, there is also an increased risk of slipping if the floors are wet. Mats and area rugs tend to help this department, but they may detract from your design if you are not a fan of them in your interior spaces.
