What are Marble Look Tiles?
Marble look tiles are collections of man-made tiles that replicate the look and feel of a natural marble tile. These tiles offer an alternative option to natural stone being particularly popular for those looking for a low maintenance solution that will not require the same care as a natural stone tile would.
How are Marble Look Tiles Made?
Marble look tiles offer an excellent representation of real marble. Their patterns or veins are created using a high definition image that is digitally printed onto the surface of a porcelain tile. Each individual tile will show a different pattern in order to create an ultra-realistic look in your finished tiling project. When shopping for marble look tiles, taking note of the level of pattern variations included in your specific tile selection is an all important step: the higher the amount of pattern variations present in your selected tile collection, the more realistic their marble style will be.

Do Marble Look Tiles need to be sealed?
Marble look tiles do not need to be sealed. These tiles are usually made of either porcelain or glass, both of which are non-porous and do not require sealing.
The Benefits of Marble Look Tiles
Marble inspired tiles are usually available in either a porcelain or glass tile material. Both of these options are non-porous so they will not require sealing, ensuring a low maintenance option for the home. Porcelain tiles are well known for their immense strength and durability, being resistant to scratching, staining, moisture and heat. These qualities make porcelain tiles one of the most popular solutions as they can be used in a wide range of applications. Glass tiles will also provide a stain and moisture resistant surface finish, being a popular choice for use as a bathroom tile or kitchen splashback tile.
How to Clean Marble Look Tiles
Porcelain tiles are best kept clean and tidy with a mop or wipe down using warm, soapy water. For a more intensive clean, there are many tile cleaning products available that are specific to porcelain tiles such as our Lithofin KG Active-Clean cleanser that can be incorporated in your regular cleaning routine. This cleanser will effortlessly glide through any built-up dirt or grime on your porcelain tiles, being especially popular for use on bathroom tiles for the removal of soap scum and built-up calcium.
Glass tiles will also only require a wipe down or mop to be kept tidy on a regular basis. For a deeper cleanse, you may also consider incorporating glass specific cleaning products in your regular routine.
