Marble floors are invariably marble-tiled floors; marble is too dense a material for most structures to support its weight except in relatively thin veneers. Marble communicates an atmosphere of refined affluence and classical sophistication. It is extremely resistant to wear, and its color range is effectively limitless.
Prefinished strip floors are the most cost-effective option for retrofitting a wooden floor over a pre-existing substrate. Their planklike tongue-and-groove design makes them relatively easy to cut and install, keeping contractor costs to a minimum, and the prefinished surface allows immediate use of the space into which they are fitted. Typically the most expensive wooden flooring to purchase and install is parquet; the process involves using small, solid wood tile pieces that can be laid in intricate and ornate patterns. Hardwood strip flooring is a more expensive option than pine or bamboo; the latter, in turn, are more expensive than composite board finished with a woodlike outer veneer.
If the project involves the upkeep or refurbishment of an existing stone or wood floor, rather than a new installation, your choice is between professional cleaning companies and professional flooring companies. Typically the latter will have more specialized knowledge and possess the dedicated equipment necessary to carry out a comprehensive job in a short time. With specific reference to stone floors, grout cleaning, regrouting, polishing and sealing are all jobs best left to specialists. In marble refinishing, surface treatments usually involve the use of diamond abrasives, which broader-service cleaning companies are unlikely to have.
