What you will read about marble stone types and their price is as follows:

Marble is one of the most beautiful decorative stones, with unique visual and physical characteristics that make it widely used in the production of stone products and for covering floors, walls, and stairs in buildings. This stone belongs to the category of metamorphic limestone and has a dense structure with almost no visible pores or voids. The beauty and wide variety of colors and patterns are among the most important characteristics of marble, which we will discuss further below.

Dear Buyers, it’s important to be aware that marble is typically not ideal for use on building facades. This is because, due to its constituent elements, when exposed to outdoor environments and varying weather conditions, this stone gradually loses its beautiful appearance over time, and its structure may become damaged.

Visual Characteristics of Marble Stone

Iran has numerous quarries that offer a wide range of marble stones at reasonable prices. Marble stones come in various colors spanning from light to dark shades such as cream, white, pink, green, brick red, black, gray, nescafe, and brown. These stones exhibit unique patterns, including streaks, wavy, waveless, and cotton flower motifs.

In some cases, marble is one of the stones that most closely resembles travertine. For non-specialists, the easiest way to distinguish between them is by examining the back or side of the stone (the area behind the polished surface) and checking for the absence of pores or voids (holes) in the stone’s structure.

Marble Applications

Marble is used in various areas of a building’s interior, each of which is explained and categorized below:

Which Parts of a Building Are Suitable for Marble Use?

In general, marble is widely used as a building material for covering and finishing buildings. Due to its beauty, variety of patterns and colors, and excellent polishability, it is a suitable choice for interior applications such as walls, floors, and stairs. For example, Crema Marfil Stone is currently one of the most widely used cream marble stones due to its beautiful color and availability in a wide range of desired sizes. In the gallery below, you can view photos of marble stone applications.

Special marble stones, renowned for their unique patterns, veins, and waves, are processed into large-format slabs (slab stone collection). These slabs are precisely and symmetrically cut to create book-matched (two-piece symmetrical) and four-matched (four-piece symmetrical) designs, ultimately forming a stunning natural tableau on floors or walls.

Is Marble Suitable for Outdoor Applications?

Marble is not a practical option for outdoor use due to its thickness (less than 3 cm) and polished surface. This is due to the physical properties of marble, such as:

• Sensitivity to acid rain and weathering factors
• Discoloration when exposed to sunlight
• Low resistance to freeze–thaw cycles (in cold regions)
• Slipperiness when wet

For example, this stone can be seen in the facade of Tehran’s Azadi Tower, where, due to its unpolished surface and greater thickness, it has withstood outdoor conditions while retaining its appearance and color. Nevertheless, some marble varieties, due to their specific characteristics (such as Shahyadi Marble, used in Tehran’s Azadi Tower), may, under specific conditions and with careful technical considerations, be suitable for outdoor applications (such as historic facades).

Marble is commonly utilized for the interior of buildings as book-matched and four-matched slabs, wall cladding stones, stairs stones, floor stones, stone marquetries, and elevator door frames.

Quality of Marble Stones

Marble is frequently ranked as one of the highest-selling types of stone. Most limestones, as well as many types of marble, typically have poor resistance to weather conditions. Different types of marble have their unique features, including water absorption rate, abrasion resistance, flexibility, and porosity. Selecting the appropriate marble thickness is crucial for its application in constructing various components. If you choose incorrectly, you may observe cracks or fractures in the marble. For example, for high-traffic floors or stairs, thicknesses of 3 and 4 cm are essential to prevent breakage or cracking caused by pressure and impact, whereas for walls and low-traffic floors, a thickness of 1.8 to 2 cm (with or without epoxy mesh backing to enhance strength) is sufficient.
