Marble is easy to maintain, proper cleaning and re-polish will shine again. Tiles after some years the shine will be gone, can't polish back.

OK, you can use coloured cement instead of natural cement. The idea of using cement render to give the natural look withou joint. Coloured cement would not look natural. Coloured cement floor is commonly used in utilitarian factory floors. Anyway, people used cement rendered floor in the old days because they cannot afford better finishes. Of course, polishing the cement to make it shine is the expensive part.

Marble is easier to maintain? How easy is it to repolish marble when a place has been occupied? You not only have to clear everything from the floor, the whole place has to be flooded with water while the work is carried out.
If you want the shiny look, polised homogenous tiles (not ceramic tiles) is lasting.

Anyway, I have both Tiles and Broken Marbles in my house. Feeling of both when walk are difference. Both have its good and bad. If I have the budget I'll go for real big Marble in ground floor.

I use 2ft x 2ft Iranian marble, 2ft x 1ft local marble and homogenenous tiles(kitchen) for my house.
Even though the marble slabs came polished, I had to repolish them again before I moved in as scratches are unavoidable with the various work being carried out. There's no way I can have the marble polished again now.

If want aesthetic, go for marble.
If want easy maintenance, go for ceramic tile.

Nice! What Iranian marble did you use and how much was it per sq/ft for the marble?

machine now no need to use a lot of water de. If you still need marble polishing, you can contact Mr Chong at 012-2182266.
