marble

Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite. Marble is typically not foliated, although there are exceptions. In geology, the term marble refers to metamorphosed limestone, but its use in stonemasonry more broadly encompasses unmetamorphosed limestone. Marble is commonly used for sculpture and as a building material.

    Removing adhesive from marble shower tray

    I'm changing a shower cubicle and the old one had been bedded to the tray with adhesive. I've scraped a lot off but it's still not smooth enough. Obviously I can't use anything acid based to clean it up so is it a case of sand and polish after?

    Minimum thickness for marble on a floor

    I have just had someone ask me if 4 mm thick marble is suitable for a floor. I've only ever used 10 mm thick, I assume 4 mm would be too thin? It's for a mosaic so they would be 10 mm x 10 mm x 4 mm. Thanks
