Any experience of marble tiles in kitchen?

[Pheo]

Hi all,

Considering Serac marble tiles from Topps Tiles for our rapidly progressing kitchen extension, as we are having UFH, and these were on offer

However never had marble tiles before - anything specific to consider? Did have travertine in the last place so know you need to seal well and use white adhesive... but interested to know thoughts...

Ah this is honed stuff don’t like shiny.

Quite like the Mora wood effect but can see it’s not wood, can’t tell if it’ll annoy me or not! Need to go get a sample

We have got honed marble tiles in our kitchen which were from Topps Tiles 8 years ago and still look good today.
We have had to order some from someone else as have moved a base unit and Topps do not do them any more but still pleased with them

Thanks, are you able to share any photos? A lot of the ones on Houzz are American places with polished marble, and their rather odd kitchen designs... makes it hard to imagine

Overall people are not fans then!

Anyone got suggestions for good wood effect tiles? Seen Mora at top tiles which are decently priced. I think I got put off when looking at them in the shop as up close you can see a bit of pixelation - probably a bit silly as not that often I am 5cm from the floor staring at the tiles...

That’s quite telling!

Other half would like a dog at some point so that’s a consideration .

I’m not a fan of shiny floors at all either so high gloss porcelain is out.

Probably going quartz worktop, perhaps marble effect, wooden effect floor tiles OR karndean maybe.

So many decisions!!
