Marble Insights

Marble is a metamorphic rock, meaning it begins as one type of rock and, through immense heat and pressure over time, transforms into another. In the case of marble, it originates as limestone—a soft stone composed primarily of calcite. When exposed to extreme heat and pressure, the calcite crystals recrystallize and fuse, altering the stone’s texture.

Marble quarries can be found worldwide, including in Italy, Greece, Turkey, India, Spain, and the United States. Italian marble is particularly renowned for its purity, while Vermont in the United States is home to the world’s largest underground marble quarry, the Danby Quarry. The Carrara marble quarry in Chile is thought to be more than 6,000 years old.

For millennia, marble has been a premier building material for some of the world’s most iconic structures. The Taj Mahal in India, the Tower of Pisa in Italy, the Parthenon in Greece, and the United States Supreme Court Building in Washington, D.C., all incorporate marble and have stood the test of time.

Not only is marble visually stunning, but it can also be restored if needed. Its beauty, durability, and renewability make it an excellent long-term investment for both commercial and residential projects

Marble Restoration

We can restore marble to like new —or better —for a fraction of the cost of replacement, and protect it from stains and etching.

Marble Repair

Do you have chipped marble tiles? Are there cracks in your floor or countertop? What about broken marble tiles? Before you replace your marble, consider having N-Motion Stone & Tile Restoration provide expert marble repair services. N-Motion Stone & Tile Restoration can fill holes in marble, fix marble cracks and chips, blending the repair site with the surrounding area, and honing and polishing to match the finish on the rest of your marble floor, countertop, or other stone surface.

Deep Cleaning and Sanitizing Marble

Marble cleaning processes vary based on the surface condition and type of dirt or oil being removed. Marble is easier to keep clean with periodic professional deep cleaning services using non-acidic, highly effective cleaning solutions. However once wear sets in, creating hollows and low points for dirt to collect in, your marble can become difficult to keep clean. N-Motion Stone & Tile Restoration can assist you in not only cleaning your marble surfaces, but in keeping your marble properly polished, maintained, and free of scratches to help make regular cleaning and care of your stone easier.

Marble Stain Removal

N-Motion Stone & Tile Restoration can remove marble stains, as well as marble discolorations. Whether you are seeking guidance on how to do this yourself (see our Interactive Stain Management App) or want N-Motion Stone and Tile Care to treat your marble, the original finish of your stone can be restored.

Marble Refinishing

Is your marble floor or countertop too dull or too shiny? Call N-Motion Stone & Tile Restoration and specify the finish you need. If you have a new floor with some tiles that look glossier than others – let N-Motion Stone & Tile Restoration even out the finish for you. Whether you have or are seeking to acquire a gloss, semi-gloss or matte finish, N-Motion Stone & Tile Restoration can deliver a beautifully restored or changed marble finish.

Marble Honing

Does your marble have dull areas associated with wear patterns, scratches, etches, or spots? N-Motion Stone & Tile Restoration can hone your marble surfaces to eliminate these imperfections, resulting in a new marble surface, free of damage. With our marble honing services, our expert technicians can achieve a honed or a soft matte finish that is warm, inviting, and velvety smooth. 

Marble Polishing

An uneven finish, dull spots or etches can diminish the elegant appearance of your marble floors. N-Motion Stone & Tile Restoration can polish your marble using the appropriate diamonds or polishing powders to restore the finish you want, whether matte, semi-gloss or gloss finish. With our marble polishing services, our expert technicians can achieve a beautiful, glass-like polish. 

Lippage Removal/Grinding

Are your marble floor tiles uneven? Do you want your floor tile flattened to the grout lines to facilitate easier cleaning? N-Motion Stone & Tile Restoration can grind away the excess stone (a process called lippage removal) to create a flat, level surface using state-of-the-art diamond grinding technology. Once ground to the level and shape desired, the marble is honed and polished to the finish you want.

Sealing & Protecting

Marble needs a little extra protection to inhibit stains and etching. We can treat your marble with premium quality solutions…

Impregnating Sealers

Some natural stone types are more porous than others and the more porous the natural stone is, the more susceptible it is to staining. Your marble will be easier to keep clean with periodic professional deep cleaning services, using non-acidic, highly effective cleaning solutions. Once your marble is cleaned and restored, N-Motion Stone & Tile Restoration may recommend you have us seal it to enhance its stain resistance.  We say,” MAY” because not all stone needs to be sealed. Highly polished stone may not even take an impregnating sealer. But, if sealing is recommended, know that sealing represents an inexpensive, preventive measure against stain damage because it buys you time to wipe up spills before they become stains.

Anti-Etch Treatments for Marble Tops

We offer state-of-the-art treatments to protect your marble tops from etching. Marble is acid sensitive and many people shy away from it because of this, but when your marble countertops are protected from stains and etching, you don’t have to worry about choosing marble for your kitchens, bar tops, vanity tops or where acid etching is a concern.  (Learn more about our Anti-etch protection.)

Cleaning & Care

Some helpful tips:

  • Always use a stone safe cleaner on your marble surfaces.
  • Never use abrasive cleaners.
  • Wipe up spills as soon as possible.
  • For marble countertops, use a cutting board for food prep.
  • Be sure to reseal as needed.

Does Marble Require Maintenance?

The short answer is yes, marble does require maintenance.  Regular cleaning with a stone safe cleaner is a great for simple day-to-day maintenance, but over time, depending on traffic and usage, your marble floors may start to become dull, become scratched or show  obvious traffic patterns. Countertops can become scratched, dull and etched. 

If these problems develop, you become more and more dissatisfied with the appearance of the marble until it’s time for another round of professional restoration. Ask about our regularly scheduled maintenance program which keeps your marble surfaces looking great all the time, without the need for periodic restoration.
