Beautiful homes and mansions line the streets of downtown Savannah. Some people have claimed that the saying, “Keeping up with the Jones,” derived from the famous Jones Street in Savannah, Georgia. While that may be true, the upkeep of any home can be high maintenance. The owners of this beautiful bathroom have been renovating their home for some time. It is a 150 year old home that needed some tender care to restore it to its original condition. The owners thought they would have to call a contractor to replace the flooring, but luckily they found Miracle Stone and Tub Refinishing to handle this project. Jay Lacy and his team of experts were able to polish, sand, and restore this marble to its original luster. This bathroom marble floor will continue to last for many more years to come.
Marble can last for many years in several areas of your home. Fireplaces, flooring, countertops, and tabletops are just a few of the popular areas where you can incorporate marble into the aesthetics and functionality of your home. Marble is a metamorphic stone composed of three minerals: calcite, aragonite, and dolomite, and the combination creates the stone or rock called Marble. Metamorphic stones are the oldest stones on the planet that has been under the most intense heat and pressure from the Earth while “growing.” This enables it to be a very durable product with a very hard surface. However, it is also very porous- and that’s why it is essential to keep it sealed and protected to ensure it doesn’t become damaged. But to make things a bit confusing, marble is dense, and it’s that special mineral composition that makes it porous but also dense. This dense material makes it strong for things like flooring and countertops. But also think of the historical buildings several hundred years ago, where they understood marble’s composition and used it for pillars and walls in the most elaborate buildings. We know about them today because we have seen pictures or been to these famous places where we can see the marble still standing tall.
Wherever you decide to add marble to your home, you will find the benefits of the aesthetics and the value it adds to your home will outweigh its maintenance schedule. Marble is beautiful, and there is no other material like it, providing a timeless look to your décor.
