The beauty and immortality of marble are two indisputable facts. Resorting to marble to furnish the home means choosing a note of lasting elegance. Private dwellings, public buildings and structures with specific functions also acquire value and prestige through the use of marble.
Antiqued marble fully fits into this groove, thanks to an incredibly fascinating intrinsic personality. Its lived-in look can lend character to rooms, giving them a rich aesthetic appeal.
Antiqued marble: how it is obtained
Some people may not prefer marble because of its cold visual impact, even though they want to rely on the great value of this material. This can be remedied by choosing an antique effect that recalls floors and coverings that have made history. Antique marble evokes ancient luxury residences, where every detail was synonymous with elegance and luxury.
To achieve this particular effect, the marble is subjected to a special procedure, the so-called burattatura. Marble, granite or travertine are placed in a special machine containing water and specific abrasives. Wear is caused by abrasion due to the rolling of the tiles, similar to stones in a riverbed.
The result? A natural stone that is new but lived in to the touch and, therefore, rich in that much sought-after antique charm. For best results , the stone, format and variety must be carefully selected, taking care to order a sufficient quantity to cover any future shortages.
Antiqued marble: where to use it
Antiqued marble can be used both indoors and outdoors. Likewise, it can be used for poolside cladding or for staircases. In any case, the final effect will be that of a prestigious environment.
The bathroom also lends itself ideally to the use of antique marble, both for the walls and for the shower tray. Whether classic or more contemporary in style, the solutions are many and all interesting.
A further application involves hotels, not only with regard to flooring but also to furnishing accessories.
