For thousands of years, marble has been sought-after as one of the most popular and heavily desired materials to build with.
From Ancient Greece right up to the modern-day, marble has been a classic option that delivers a timeless look that makes any indoor or outdoor space look stunning. However, as marble is a natural stone, it carries several disadvantages that more modern materials such as porcelain do not.
So, what's the answer? Porcelain slabs that look like marble of course. In this blog, we take a look a closer look at some of the porcelain slabs that look like marble that we have in our collection and why these are a better choice than traditional marble products.
Marble-effect porcelain
Over the last couple of decades, porcelain tiles and paving have grown tremendously in popularity thanks to several impressive advantages that traditional stone products simply cannot offer. This has led to the market for porcelain products to grow but with it the need for porcelain products that mimic the appearance of natural stone products such as marble.
The result? Marble-effect porcelain tiles that offer the same gorgeous aesthetics of natural marble but with none of the drawback!
Out of our extensive porcelain range, we have handpicked three products that offer the looks of natural marble, so you can get the best of both worlds.

Why choose porcelain slabs that look like marble?
So, why would you want to choose marble-effect paving over authentic marble flooring products? The answer is simple.
With natural stone products, no one can deny their beauty but they come with a host of downfalls. Porcelain, however, boasts characteristics that make it superior to natural stone whether you choose to install it indoors or outdoors.
Unlike natural stone, porcelain requires minimal maintenance, is moisture-resistant without sealant and doesn’t impact the environment as much as its natural stone counterparts.
Natural stone products such as marble look fantastic but carry a soft, porous surface that gets damaged when exposed to moisture, making them more susceptible to colouration and harder to clean.
For these reasons, porcelain offers a more practical solution with extremely low-maintenance requirements!
