Home improvement marble choices to consider more dustproof need to take care of from time to time

Natural marble has long been misunderstood as being radioactive, which has limited its use in home decoration. However, the revised "Code for Indoor Environmental Pollution Control for Civil Buildings" (GB50325-2010) (2013 edition) now confirms that natural marble is safe for indoor use. With this assurance, more people are considering using it in larger areas of their homes. But how should consumers choose, install, and maintain it properly? **1. Purchase** When selecting natural marble, it's important to consider not just its aesthetic appeal—such as its warm texture and unique patterns—but also its suitability for the specific area where it will be used. Yang Yu'an, General Manager of Gaoshi Stone Shanghai Co., Ltd., explains that different spaces require different types of marble. For example, kitchen walls and floors need high-strength, dense, and well-finished marble to resist oil and dirt. However, it’s not recommended to use natural marble on kitchen countertops due to the risk of cracking from cutting and heat exposure. In such cases, granite or artificial stone may be better choices. In bathrooms, the key requirement is low water absorption, which depends on the environment. Living rooms, on the other hand, can be more flexible. You can choose marbles you like, but they should have lower density. Floors need higher strength and density than wall materials to withstand regular foot traffic. **2. Installation** Proper installation is crucial when working with natural marble. Yang Lanan notes that the technical requirements for marble paving are strict, and the cost per square meter typically exceeds 100 yuan. Workers can only lay a few square meters per day. Marble installation requires special adhesives. For thin slabs (1 cm thick), a bonding agent is sufficient for walls. Thicker slabs (over 2 cm) need both a fixed hanger and adhesive for stability. In spaces over 3 meters high, a keel must be built, and the marble embedded within it for added security. Yang Yu’an adds that even in smaller apartments, natural marble can be used if properly designed. However, because thicker marble increases weight, it’s essential to check with the property management or construction team before installing large areas of 2 cm or thicker marble to avoid structural issues. **3. Maintenance** Maintaining the beauty of natural marble requires regular care. Experts advise avoiding contact with acidic or alkaline substances like juice or cleaning products. Stains should be cleaned immediately to prevent permanent damage. Dust can also be harmful, as it can scratch the surface over time. It’s best to place a doormat at the entrance and use a vacuum cleaner regularly. If your marble loses its shine or becomes damaged, professional restoration services can bring it back to life. According to Yang, marble can be polished and restored every two years through grinding and cleaning, which helps repair cracks and enhance its appearance. This is one of the advantages of marble over ceramic tiles. Experts also remind consumers that marble should be treated with anti-stain agents before installation. Poor-quality treatments or improper application can lead to issues like alkali return and poor stain resistance. Choosing reputable brands ensures better quality and support in product selection, installation, and maintenance.
