Looking for a floor with the appearance of marble, without the disadvantages? A marble-look resin floor gives living and working environments a beautiful, opulent effect and is virtually indestructible. Read more about the benefits and possibilities here.
Marble versus marble-look resin floor
Natural stone marble floors are a feast for the eyes, as many agree. With almost infinite color combinations, rich and elegant floor designs can be created.
But this beauty comes at a price: marble floors are more expensive than other types of flooring, require a significant amount of maintenance, and are naturally somewhat porous and prone to dullness. In short, natural stone floors require constant extreme caution. Furthermore, seams are always visible because marble floors are only available in tile format.
A marble-look resin floor, on the other hand…
- … is almost indistinguishable from real marble;
- … is comfortable to use and compatible with underfloor heating;
- … requires little maintenance and is resistant to a wide range of household chemicals;
- … consists of a single seamless surface (so no gaps, joints, or seams) for a solid marble effect.
Marble-look resin floor applications
A resin floor can be finished in a marble look in several ways. These are the three main applications:
1. PU resin floor
A marble look can be achieved on a PU resin floor by mixing two colors during the application process and subsequently adding a gloss pigment.
Specific benefits:
- Feels comfortable and warm underfoot;
- Somewhat sound-absorbing due to the hard-elastic structure.
Suitable resin floor: Artificial resin floor
2. Cementitious resin floor
Cementitious resin floors are often supplied in the color grey. It is therefore often thought that applying a marble look to this type of resin floor always results in a grey marble variety. Incorrectly so. The cementitious resin floors from TREU interior specials are available in a wide range of colors, such as mottled brown, green, or terracotta marble. In this inspiration guide, we give you an idea of the many color possibilities.
On cementitious resin floors, a marble look is not poured, but troweled. The stroke direction of the applicator creates fluid lines and unique color accents that provide an authentic marble effect.
Specific benefits:
- A cement-based floor easily achieves a marble effect due to its stony appearance;
- Very robust and wear-resistant.
Suitable resin floor: Ambacht resin floor
3. Resin floor renovation
Do you already have a resin floor that shows signs of wear after years of use? Or have your interior preferences changed and you simply want something new? In this case, recoating the floor is an excellent option.
Specific benefits:
- The base is already there; the prep work is already done (such as leveling the subfloor);
- Cost-effective and fast solution.
