Restrictions for Spider Marble Usage
Black Dehbid Spider marble is so beautiful and mesmerizing that as soon as you see it, you decide to use it. However, regarding the non-use of this marble in the following spaces, special attention must be paid.
1/ Spider marble in exterior walls: This stone, when placed in open spaces, loses its glossiness and becomes dull and stained within less than a year due to exposure to sunlight, rain, and moisture. Therefore, do not get excited about using this beautiful and glossy stone in outdoor spaces.
2/ Spider marble in floor area: Despite its beautiful appearance, this stone is not suitable for floor stone use due to its not-so-ideal abrasive resistance and the possibility of scratches and loss of beauty if a heavy object is dragged over it. In the photo below, an example of using this stone in a parking lot can be seen. Although the dark color and the small tile size of this stone bring it closer to the standards of parking lot usage, over time, scratches will be observed on it, which will reduce the beauty of this stone. (It is worth mentioning that scratches and dullness can be removed by re-polishing the stone.)

if you want to use it as a flooring stone, you should use it in places with low traffics and don’t put heavy stuff on it. the scratch on dark marble would be very obvious and visible and will reduce its beautiful interface
