Affordable Porcelain Marble

Almost everyone loves marble, but not everyone can afford it in their homes. Affordable alternatives like marble effect tiles are now widely available and it’s actually very difficult to tell the difference. Marble effect porcelain has become incredibly popular as it combines the amazing look of marble with sturdy, low-cost porcelain that’s denser and less porous than real marble, making it ideal for areas of the home where marble generally isn’t recommended, like steamy kitchens and humid bathrooms. For those with a lower budget, marble effect porcelain is definitely worth considering!

Versatility & Flexibility

Marble is a natural rock and each piece comes with its own unique coloring and style. Veining and subtle color shading results in an appealing overall look and thanks to new technology and digital printing we can get the same effects of real marble on porcelain alternatives. It is almost impossible to tell the difference. However, we are seeing a return to soft color tones in 2018 and these neutral finishes in marble allow their natural beauty to shine through. Regardless of whether you’re going for a modern or traditional look, porcelain marble such as our Marvel collection definitely brings a touch of glamour and timeless charm.

Colour & Size

Natural, earthy hues such as whites, greys, beiges, and browns are the most common colours of marble. They are subtle and understated, and can easily be paired with practically any colour, or even any other materials such as wood. For those looking for something a little bolder and more vibrant, digitally-printed marble effect porcelain can offer many colour variations. Polished marble, complemented with attractive grey and white veining is great for lighting up a bathroom, while marble tiles with a dark veining add a rich complexity and mood.

Bigger tiles with less grout are in high demand, due to its striking appearance and ease of cleaning, however small and exquisite wall tiles, can add glamour by reflecting light making them akin to jewels on the wall.
