Why Choose Customized Marble?
Customizing marble gives you control over every detail, ensuring that it matches the style, durability, and feel you want for your project. Egyptian marble is well-known for its quality and beauty, making it an ideal choice for customization.
Did You Know? About 65% of designers say that customized stone materials are critical for achieving the right look in luxury spaces. Customization not only enhances aesthetics but also improves functionality, as specific finishes and treatments can be applied based on usage.
Shawkat Stone’s Customization Options
Shawkat Stone offers a variety of ways to customize marble, including finishes, cuts, colors, and patterns. Here’s a breakdown of the options available to help you create the perfect design:
1. Select the Right Finish
The finish you choose significantly impacts the look and feel of marble. Different finishes create various textures and appearances, allowing marble to blend seamlessly with your design.
Main Marble Finishes Available:
- Polished Finish: Known for its glossy shine, a polished finish reflects light beautifully and brings out the marble’s natural veining. It’s popular for marble countertops and wall cladding in luxurious spaces.
- Honed Finish: This finish gives marble a matte, soft look, making it less reflective but more resistant to scratches. Ideal for high-traffic areas like marble flooring.
- Leathered Finish: With a textured, slightly rough surface, a leathered finish adds a unique tactile element. It’s a great choice for countertops where a unique texture and natural look are desired.
Pro Tip: Each finish has its own advantages and maintenance needs. For example, polished marble is easier to clean, while honed marble is more slip-resistant.
2. Choose Custom Colors and Patterns
One of the best parts of customizing marble is selecting the exact color and pattern that aligns with your vision. Egyptian marble is available in various shades, from classic whites and creams to rich greens and reds. Each slab has its own unique veining and pattern, adding character to any room.
- Light Colors: White and beige marbles are timeless and versatile, fitting well with almost any design style. These lighter tones also help create a feeling of spaciousness.
- Dark Colors: Black, grey, and green marbles bring depth and sophistication to any room. These are great for bold designs in office lobbies, entryways, and upscale dining areas.
Interesting Fact: 80% of high-end projects use natural stones like marble for backsplash, wall cladding, and flooring, and custom colors are a top priority to create unique designs.
3. Custom Sizes and Cuts
At Shawkat Stone, we offer custom sizes and cuts to fit your project’s requirements. Different spaces need different shapes and sizes, especially when dealing with intricate designs.
Customization Options Include:
- Countertops: Custom-sized slabs to fit kitchen islands, bathroom vanities, and other surfaces.
- Tiles and Flooring: From large slabs to small tiles, custom sizes help achieve a seamless look for marble flooring.
- Wall Cladding: Wall applications often require thinner, lighter cuts, allowing marble to be used effectively in vertical designs.
Did You Know? According to industry reports, more than 60% of marble is cut into tiles for use in floors, walls, and counters. Choosing the right size and shape can help streamline installation and reduce waste.
4. Personalized Designs with Inlays and Borders
For a truly unique design, inlays and borders can elevate marble surfaces to a whole new level. These customizations allow you to create intricate patterns, often combining different types of marble or other natural stones. This level of customization is perfect for hotel lobbies, grand entrances, and custom residential spaces.
- Inlays: Beautifully designed patterns or accents within the marble surface, adding a refined look.
- Borders: Border accents along edges create a framing effect that draws attention to the stone.
Custom inlays and borders are popular among interior designers looking to add a special touch to high-end spaces. They’re also a great option for clients who want something distinctive and memorable.

Customizing marble offers several benefits, from enhancing the visual appeal to improving the functionality of each application.
