Marble in Urban Transformation: Why Construction Projects Should Return to Natural Stone?

A Strategic Opportunity for the Rise of Marble in the Domestic Market
Turkey is undergoing a major urban transformation process. This process presents a strategic opportunity to re-examine the quality and long-term value of the building materials used as we renew our cities. Marble has a timeless beauty that has witnessed the splendor of ancient civilizations. However, especially in the last five years, marble consumption in the domestic market has decreased as contractors have shifted to using stepped-grid-type products and ceramic materials.

At Velora Mining, we see that increased urban renewal activities and contractors’ return to the use of marble are significant factors that can increase domestic sales. So, why should construction companies focus on using marble again?

1. The Unseen Power of Marble: Antibacterial Advantage
While marble’s aesthetic superiority is undeniable, its true long-term value lies in its technical properties. Marble is a naturally antibacterial material.

Healthy Living Spaces: In this era of heightened health and hygiene expectations in new housing projects, marble’s antibacterial properties add additional value to homes. This is a vital difference that increases the value of marble, especially compared to alternative materials such as ceramics.

2. Investment Value and Perception Management
Urban renewal aims to increase the value of buildings. The use of marble embodies this value:

Perception of Luxury: Marble has always been associated with luxury and elegance. The use of marble enhances the overall perception of a residential project, positively impacting marketing and sales processes.

Permanence: Marble “adds value to time.” When properly applied, it maintains its durability for many years, making marble a long-term and lasting investment.
