Marble.com - Derek 07:47PM, Dec 23 2011 I recommend to have a honed marble floor tile finish, if you're going to use this stone as a floor tile. Polished marble tiles can be higher maintenance and attract water spot stains. Make sure to reseal the stone at least once a year.

Is it a better look on floor or easirer on floor spots if it is honed or polished?
Marble.com - Derek 07:45PM, Sep 28 2011 Since marble has already been subjected to a tremendous amount of heat during its formation, the normal amount of heat generated by a fireplace should have no effect upon the material. I recommend to seal the hearth upon installation to make sure the marble stays stain resistant. Good luck!
Barbara 11:22PM, Sep 27 2011 As a fireplace hearth, would this marble be more prone to stain?
Melissa 03:11PM, Sep 16 2010 Does this marble (compared to the 'Classic' version) have areas requiring..filler?
- All Granite and Marble 09:34AM, Sep 17 2010 Melissa: We have one type of Crema Marfil and it does not contain filler.
Mina 07:23AM, Jul 7 2010 I have had polished Crema Marfil in my kitchen on my countertops and backsplash for 2 years. I absolutely love it and I am so glad I went with it. It etches instantly citrus juices, tomatoes, vinegars etc. basically acids are spilled or dripped. The etching can be removed if it wiped off pretty quickly. Acids that have been allowed to sit for awhile have a deeper etch so they will shine back up but you will be able to see the damaged area in certain light ie: sunlight from window bending over looking for it. (Not one person has ever visited and noticed the deeper vinegar etch my father in law caused. ) LIght etching is totally removed with a kit that I bought from www.stonecarecentral.com that has a marble polishing compound. Before I found this I was worried that over time it would be a mess. Every 4 months or so I spot checked with this and my counters are still like new. ( I do have children so they have to be reminded to wipe up spills etc) We are wine drinkers and red wine etc doesn't etch or stain ours. Actually I have had no staining problem with mine. I even used wilton gel food coloring in my fondant and kneaded and rolled it on it and it wiped right off with no problem. I have butcher block on one of my counters so this is my prep station. They are definately more work than others but with a little knowledge of what works they are beautiful. I originally wanted honed like old world Italian kitchen but no company would sell it to me like that. Just my experience
Jeannie 06:48PM, Jul 3 2010 Is this doable for a kitchen in a polished slab?
- All Granite and Marble 08:49AM, Jul 5 2010 Jeannie: The Crema Marfil is a rather soft and porous stone, I would not recommend it for a kitchen application.
Christine S 10:19AM, Dec 22 2009 I was wondering a price for a 50" vessel sink vanity top in the Crema Marfil
- All Granite and Marble 10:32AM, Dec 22 2009 Christine S: Please contact the sales office.
Karen 11:10AM, Aug 17 2009 Is it a better look or easier on spots if it is honed on polished?
- All Granite and Marble 11:13AM, Aug 17 2009 Karen: Polished is easier maintenance.
