        "text": "Natural marble tiles require careful subfloor reinforcement, specific non-staining thinset mortars, and routine sealing compared to standard porcelain. Marble is softer and more porous, meaning it absorbs moisture and stains quickly if left unsealed. Subfloors beneath marble must be exceptionally rigid because natural stone has zero tolerance for deflection and will crack easily if the subfloor moves. While marble delivers an upscale, natural finish, porcelain offers a lower-maintenance alternative that mimics stone without requiring annual sealants.",
