Natural marble stones have always been extremely popular building materials and their appeal has never been lost. Aware of this popularity, porcelain tile manufacturers have been working on printing techniques of more natural in appearance on man-made porcelains and they are now accurately able to copy the texture - design of real marble tiles.
Nowadays there are a few quality porcelain tile manufacturers who can imitate the designs and colours with detailed perfection. The most difficult colour to represent is black in porcelain tile manufacturing and now the manufacturers successfully print out deep black colours for marble effect tiles.
The technology behind the successful manufacturing of marble effect tiles has not appeared overnight. It took many years to develop with expensive research to help with progressive development. At the same time copying and designing the patterns of the marble effect tiles are as almost important as the technology itself. Without the design element, the technology cannot result in quality manufacturing.
At Stone Deals, we always strive towards bringing the highest quality material, no matter where around the globe they are manufactured. Our marble effect porcelain tiles are no exception to this self-set rule. The quality and workmanship of these marble effect tiles are tried and tested vigorously.
For example our Classic Carrara marble effect porcelain tiles are manufactured to the high quality standards and design elements. The level of detail, the veins going through are almost perfect. Our range of Carrara effect marble tiles come with a minimum of 30 faces depending on their size. The smaller the size, the higher number of faces present within a box.
It should be highlighted that many of our competitors only list marble effect look alike tiles with minimal variation in their face prints (usually between 6-8 faces), however as we love natural stone, our enthusiasm towards man-made marble effect tiles is also not any less.
Take another look at our Paradise Grey Marble Effect Porcelain tiles for example. These tiles come with a minimum of 20 difference face prints. Our manufacturer have designed and imitated natural veins, no matter how large or small (grey or white going through), the colours and the detail from the actual real natural stones, they have conducted vigorous check and re-checks and adjustments in design before deciding on their final design, just to make sure the quality of a real natural stone is achieved in the design of these fantastic porcelain tiles.
And to mention our Nero Black Marble Effect Porcelain tiles? The blacks are one of the most difficult colours to replicate in porcelain manufacturing and our manufacturers also pulled off these face designs quite successfully. Have a look at the details and veins and you will surely agree with what we mean here. No lines on the surface are repetitive as well as veins that look like they would on natural marble stones.
Finally, it would not be right to finish of this post without mentioning our Arabescato Marble Effect Porcelain tiles. Arabescato is a very sought after marble originating from Italy. Since these marbles are not affordable by many due to their costs not only for the tiles themselves but taking the shippings costs into account as well. Our manufacturers also replicated a selection of this elegant natural marble in fantastic detail. This can be seen in our porcelains veining, detail and end result. Simply amazing.
So, after reading this post, what do you prefer? Real natural stone marble or marble effect porcelain tiles? We understand that it still all depends on other factors and circumstances. Some say that they do not want natural stone for personal reasons (maintenance for example), others say that they always go for the real tiles, as you cannot copy nature itself. Both are valid arguments of course. Our recommendation is, avoid cheap porcelains with small number of face prints at all costs, if the marble effect porcelain tiles are manufactured in bulk with a repetitive designs, this is the reason why they are cheap but, in the end, not always cheerful.
