Marble Buying Guide

Types of Marble Edges

Marble edges influence the design and feel of any room. We offer three types of edges, including straight, beveled, and chiseled.

Straight

Also known as rectified edges, these are perfectly cut at 90-degree angles and use minimal grout lines for smooth and seamless looks.

Beveled

These flat-angled edges provide visual depth and dimension to any design.

Chiseled & Tumbled

For rustic and aged styles, these marble edges appear uniquely chipped rather than uniform.

Marble Finishes

The most common marble finishes are honed, polished, brushed, and textured. Each finish provides unique form and function in a space.

Honed

A [honed finish](https://www.flooranddecor.com/marble-stone?prefn1=finish&prefv1=Honed%7CMatte) is velvety smooth and matte-like. With less reflectivity it disguises scratches and everyday wear. It also offers more traction in wet environments since it’s not as slick on the surface.

Polished

This classic [polished finish](https://www.flooranddecor.com/marble-stone?prefn1=finish&prefv1=Polished%20or%20High%20Gloss) feels smooth and glossy to the touch. It gives marble maximum shine and showcases color vibrancy and detail. It’s a go-to for floors and walls but take precaution in wet areas because it has little traction.

Brushed

This [brushed](https://www.flooranddecor.com/marble-stone?prefn1=finish&prefv1=Brushed) soft and distressed texture gives marble an artisanal look. The brushed finish is more resistant to scratches and marks given the aged effect.

Textured
