TIP 2: UNDERSTAND YOUR TASTE

Initially, you can look at various marble colours, patterns and types that are available in the market. Find out what are your likes and dislikes. But make sure to keep an open mind as you look at several marble slabs.

Are you more inclined towards heavy veins or something lighter?

Do you want a slab that is consistent throughout or one that has striking differences?

TIP 3: TEXTURE AND FINISHES

The next big thing that ensures the beauty of a natural stone is the texture and finish. These features make each stone look distinct. Texture ranges from roughly fragmented to fine-grained and smooth. The Quarry offers a wide range of finishes from polished, lether, honed, hydro and more. Both have a major impact on the aesthetics and ambience of a space.

TIP 4: WATCH OUT FOR DAMAGES

While marble and granite are some of the hardest substances known to man, they are affected by shifting weight, heat and sudden impact- that causes natural fissures. Fissure is a part of the natural beauty of the stone that sometimes reveals a layer underneath. Whereas, a crack is thin but expands over time and may cause structural issues and instability. They begin as tiny hairline cracks that may eventually break off. If you see a marble slab with cracks, it may have been mishandled or even dropped.

The Quarry Gallery, Mumbai based Italian marble Company has invested in technology to offer you innovations like the bacteria resistant BactoFinish and QVAC - a special ultra-strengthening technology to increase durability and longevity of your chosen white marble slab.

TIP 5: TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS

Go with what feels right while choosing a marble slab for your home. Admire the details and overall look of the stone. After making sure that its properties are suitable for your application, if marble appeals to you for a specific reason- we say go with it and there’s no reason to doubt that it’s the right piece.

Finding beautiful marble slabs is easy but finding one that touches your heart is rare and special.
