Frequently Asked Questions
Is Marble a good option for Worktops?
Marble is a great material for your kitchen. Marble Islands with distinctive veining and patterns can be very appealing and a great addition. Marble is a very durable material but you should be careful with sharp objects and it can damage the surface of your marble countertop.
What is the difference between Honed and Polished Marble?
Honed marble has a much more matte, non-reflective look, hence more natural. Polished marble has been smoothed and shined, resulting in a shiny reflective look compareed to Honed.
What is the difference between Onyx and Marble?
Origin
Marble is a metamorphic rock formed through a transformation of limestone under intense heat and pressure. Onyx, on the other hand, is a banded variety of chalcedony that forms from the gradual deposition of minerals from water in caves.
Appearance
Marble often has a more traditional appearance with swirling veins and patterns in a variety of colors. It requires polishing to achieve a high-gloss finish. Onyx is known for its distinctive parallel bands of color and possesses a natural shine. It can often display more vibrant colors than marble and has a translucent quality.
Durability
Marble is a moderately durable material, but it can be scratched, stained, or etched by acidic substances. Onyx is even softer than marble, making it more susceptible to damage and requiring extra care.
Translucency
Marble is opaque, meaning light cannot pass through it. Onyx is often translucent, allowing light to pass through and creating a beautiful, luminous effect.
Usage
Marble is widely used for countertops, flooring, decorative elements, and sculptures due to its versatility and classic look. Onyx, while more fragile, is favored for statement pieces, decorative accents, and areas with less wear and tear.
How should I clean Marble?
Marble is a very durable material but like all materials it has its weaknesses. Acidic materials can cause marks and damage to your marble, as such keep away acidic materials from your marble as much as possible.
Use warm water and soft cloths to clean your marble surfaces.
How should I maintain Marble?
Seal your marble atleast once a year to keep moisture out and protect from yellow colour caused by iron oxidation.
Preventative care is key so always use cutting boards, coasters and placemats when using sharp materials in your marble kitchen. For floors use barrier mats and encourage shoes-off policy.

No matter which finish you choose, our marble tiles are carefully sourced and cut to ensure both quality and consistency. From compact London flats to large commercial spaces, marble tiles transform floors, walls, and even outdoor areas into statements of elegance.
Large Marble Tiles & Big Marble Tiles – The Luxury of Scale
Modern architecture increasingly favours open spaces, minimalism, and seamless finishes. This is where large marble tiles play a crucial role. Their expansive size reduces the number of grout lines, creating a smooth and continuous surface that looks both elegant and contemporary.
Why choose large or big marble tiles?
- Fewer grout lines = a cleaner, more seamless finish
- Perfect for underfloor heating systems, common in London and UK homes
- Helps smaller rooms appear larger and more open
- Easy to maintain thanks to fewer joints that collect dirt
In commercial projects such as hotels, shopping centres, or high-end showrooms, large marble tiles create an impressive visual effect. In private residences, big marble tiles elevate living rooms, kitchens, and hallways, giving them the luxurious touch usually seen in five-star hotels.
Marble Slabs – Natural Beauty Beyond Compare
For projects that require striking, uninterrupted surfaces, our marble slabs are the ultimate choice. A single marble slab can become the centrepiece of a kitchen island, a bathroom vanity top, or a dramatic feature wall. Each slab is unique, with its own veining, colour variation, and personality.
At Emperor Marble, we source marble slabs from the most prestigious quarries around the world. From the classic beauty of Carrara and Calacatta to the dramatic veining of Statuario and Nero Marquina, our collection offers unmatched variety.
Applications of marble slabs include:
- Kitchen worktops and islands
- Bathroom countertops and sinks
- Fireplace surrounds
- Feature walls in living rooms, hotels, or offices
Marble slabs not only add luxury but also increase the value of a property, making them a smart investment for homeowners and developers alike.
Onyx – Exotic Elegance for Unique Interiors
While marble is timeless, onyx brings something truly extraordinary. Known for its translucency and dramatic colours, onyx has become one of the most desirable stones for luxury interiors. When backlit, onyx slabs create a magical glow, turning walls, bars, and reception areas into works of art.
Our onyx collection includes a wide variety of colours – from soft creams and greens to bold ambers, blues, and multi-coloured variations. Designers across the UK choose onyx when they want to make a bold, unforgettable statement.
Popular uses of onyx include:
- Backlit feature walls in luxury hotels
- Bar counters in restaurants and lounges
- Spa interiors for a serene, high-end feel
- Decorative panels in luxury apartments
With onyx, no two slabs are alike, making every project completely unique.
Travertine – Natural Warmth and Timeless Charm
Another cornerstone of our collection is travertine, a stone admired for its natural warmth, earthy tones, and versatility. Used in Roman architecture for centuries, travertine continues to be a popular choice in modern UK homes and commercial projects.
Why choose travertine?
- Its neutral, earthy tones blend beautifully with both classic and contemporary interiors
- Travertine tiles are perfect for both indoor and outdoor use
- Available in polished, honed, or tumbled finishes for different aesthetics
Applications include:
- Patios, gardens, and outdoor terraces
- Bathroom and spa areas, thanks to its naturally non-slip surface when honed
- Living room flooring for a rustic yet sophisticated look
Travertine remains a cost-effective option without compromising on elegance, making it ideal for homeowners who want a natural stone feel within a reasonable budget.
