Key Difference
  •  Marble is a kind of hard, usually highly
    polished stone. On the other hand, Italian Marble
    is one type of a marble stone discovered in
    Italy.
  • Flooring is one of the vital roles for decorating
    home. Most of the people ignore this and focus on
    every other detail in the room. Flooring is that
    part in which one needs to choose wisely and make
    their room beautiful.

  • Marble is made from metamorphic rock that is
    pertaining to or characterized by change of form.
    It is composed of re-crystallized carbonate
    minerals. The problem of the marble stone is that
    it is a porous stone so it can stain. As it is a
    rock, the most commonly used stones are limestone
    and dolomite rock. Limestone makes up about 10
    of the total volume of all sedimentary rocks and
    has number of uses as a building material, as
    the total base for roads, as a white substance
    used for coloring or as a filler making in
    products such as paints or toothpaste.

  • Marble is extensively used for sculpture, as
    building material in interior and exterior
    design, and in many other applications.
  • Marble needs a very proper care. Though it
    enhances ones décor, its maintenance is on one's
    hand. It is highly durable and has a long life
    than any other material. It is hypoallergenic and
    requires routine resealing/polishing to retain
    its beauty.

Italian Marbles Description
Italian Botticino Marble Stone It is an excellent compact limestone. It is very hard and dense and provides a good finish to the home that will serve for a long time.
Bianco Pi Marble Stone It is famous in Italy and gives a crystal like appearance. There is quite a bit of iron mineral in this particular type of stone and if for any chance the water finds its way (even slightly) through the seams, it will turn yellow because of consequent oxidation of the iron (rust). Many white marble inherently have this problem.
Verde Alpi It is green in color. Most green marbles are serpentine that is magnesium silicate.
Perlato Sicilia and Perlato Royal Marble Stone They are compact limestone that were discovered in the island of Sicily, Italy. These stones are also very hard and dense. They require a very high polish.

  • Sometimes, the problem arises in the Italian
    marbles because it is softer than any other
    stones. They get scratches and marks which are
    visible to everyone. It can be polished very
    easily and is very user friendly.
  • Italian marble flooring is beautiful in
    comparison to marble flooring because of its
    white pureness and crystal like appearance. They
    are available in the same color range. Marble
    manufactured locally will be lower in price than
    Italian marble. Italian marble is manufactured in
    Italy so they charge for the import and are
    costlier.
  • The word Marble is used to refer to the stones
    that are capable of taking polish. Italian
    marble for structural purpose is considered the
    material of choice for the elite.
