Why choose marble effect LVT over real marble?
Real marble is beautiful but high-maintenance. It etches from acidic spills (lemon, wine, vinegar). Real marble is cold underfoot. Installation costs are premium because the tiles are heavy, brittle, and require skilled stone fitting.
Marble effect LVT delivers the same visual luxury without those compromises:
- 100% waterproof, no staining or etching from spills
- Warm underfoot
- Standard LVT fitting cost
- 0.55mm or 0.7mm wear layers outlast real marble's polished finish
- Embossed-in-register surface texture matches the marble veining
