In the long history of decorative art, marble has become an eternal classic with its unique natural beauty and historical precipitation. However, with the development of the times and the advancement of science and technology, marble tiles have inherited and carried forward the essence of marble with their realistic texture and excellent performance, becoming the new favorite of modern home decoration.

As we all know, the design materials of the patterns and textures on the surface of tiles are taken from various natural or artificial materials, and the marble tile category is produced to restore the “original appearance” of the world’s rare natural marble, with the same or even better decorative effects as expensive natural stones, to meet people’s special love for natural stones.
Since marble tiles are derived from natural marble, and the value attribute of natural marble is “artistic appreciation and collection”, it will not depreciate or become obsolete with the passage of time, and its pattern effect is naturally favored by people. Looking back at history, we can find that the decorative materials that have existed and are popular from ancient times to the present are nothing more than: stone, wood, and metal, and the comprehensive value of stone is the most prominent. Such value attributes create the inherent unique charm of marble, and it has captured the human pursuit of nature and quality.
The mainstream tile design materials on the market are: marble, rock, terrazzo, jade, microcement, wood grain, cloth grain, metal, geometric figures, etc.
Among them, marble has always been the most popular category. Although China’s stone resource reserves rank first in the world, there are not many high-grade marble reserves, most of which come from the Mediterranean region. This is probably one of the reasons why Chinese people yearn for high-grade marble, and marble tiles greatly meet people’s aesthetic needs for marble.
