From the Quarry

Marble is formed through a metamorphic process, where limestone is subjected to high heat and pressure over millions of years. This transformation causes the calcite in the limestone to recrystallize, resulting in a dense, durable rock with unique veining patterns. The mineral impurities present during this process contribute the various colors and textures found in different types of marble. Ultimately, the beauty and strength of marble make it a popular choice for sculptures, flooring, and countertops.

 

Marble quarrying is a meticulous process that begins with the identification of suitable marble deposits. After extensive geological surveys, the area is prepared for extraction by clearing vegetation and drilling holes to determine the best blocks to extract. Large blocks of marble are then cut from the quarry using diamond wire saws or other cutting tools, ensuring minimal waste. Once extracted, the marble blocks are transported processing facilities where they are polished, cut, and finished for various applications, including construction and decorative use.

To Your Door

Marble is a stunning choice for flooring, offering a timeless elegance that enhances any space. Indoors, it provides a feel and is available in various colors and patterns, making it perfect for living rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms. Outdoors, marble can elevate patios and walkways, adding sophistication while remaining durable against the elements. When used around pools, it not only creates a beautiful, reflective surface but is also cool underfoot, providing an inviting atmosphere for relaxation and leisure.

​

Marble is often used in mosaics where intricate art pieces are made from small, cut pieces and arranged to create beautiful patterns and images. These mosaics can enhance any space with their elegance and timeless appeal, often used in flooring, walls, and decorative accents. The natural variations in marble colors and textures add depth and uniqueness to each design. Whether used in residential or commercial settings, marble mosaics offer luxurious touch that captivates the eye.
