The Analysis

Over 30 years, marble and ceramic costs are roughly comparable. The difference is what you get: marble gives 30 years of genuine stone beauty and a geological story. Ceramic gives 30 years of disposable, identical, progressively yellowing white fixtures. The marble also adds property value. The ceramic does not. When you include property value impact, marble wins the 30-year calculation significantly.
