Marble agglomerate floor tiles

[Tippi]

Is Marble agglomerate the same as plain marble, in terms of special needs like sealing and polising? is it a more "industrial" look? thanks

Marble chips in a binder - probably cement.

Agglomerate tile are tile formed of marble (or stone) chips and dust. The binder can be epoxy or other resins and the binder is what makes it different from Terrazzo. True Terrazzo has a cement binder, not resin.
Sealing is recommended.

Here's all you'll ever need to know about it's care and preservation.

The spam of marble flooring. Looks like crap to those that know, pay the bit extra and get real marble, slate or granite
