Whether it's showers, rear bezels, floors, around fireplaces, or other surfaces that need to be laid, it's important to choose tiles that protect against scratches, spills, detergents, and other factors that may wear out the surface.
- Where will it be placed? Knowing if it's a rear bezel, countertop, or floor will help you decide how durable your tiles are. For example, is it used in residential areas, such as foyers or bathrooms? If it's a foyer, be sure to choose tiles that aren't easily scratched when people come in and out. In the bathroom, you may want to choose a more refined material, because most of the time, the user will be barefoot.
- How much maintenance is "too much" for you? Marble requires a little more work than granite. But both are worth the effort. The color of the tile you choose is also important. For example, light marble will help hide small scratches.

- Marble is one of the most popular natural stone tile choices, mainly because it is beautiful and timeless. The vortex pattern and tone of marble make it so distinctive. It requires specific maintenance and regular sealing, but the classic, luxurious appearance of marble makes it a natural choice.
- Granite, on the other hand, is a popular tile choice because it is particularly durable in addition to its appeal. Granite is actually the second hardest substance on Earth, after diamonds. It is very easy to clean and can be used almost anywhere. Burning or polished surfaces provide a unique appearance and increase resistance to stains, scratches and wear.
