In this article, we will explore the Roman or French style in the application of natural stone and marble for external facades or internal and external flooring. You may hear from engineers, contractors, or architectural designers about the “Roman style” or the “French\/Versailles style” for installing stone, marble, and ceramics.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what is the Roman or French (Versailles) style in marble and natural stone installation?<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a traditional pattern that dates back to ancient times. This style is characterized by installing tiles in various square or rectangular sizes, arranged in an interlocking pattern that appears random but, upon closer inspection, is harmonious and infinite.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pattern for installing marble and natural stone in the Roman or French style is also known as the “Versailles pattern.” This style was first used in ancient Rome, where it was employed in the construction of baths, churches, houses, and castles. Later, it was adopted by the royal entities that ruled ancient France because they considered themselves as gods, designing their palaces and churches in the ancient Roman style to reflect that sacred aspect in their view.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most famous palaces where this style was used for marble and natural stone installation is the <\/span>Palace of Versailles<\/span><\/a>, built in the 17th century. Due to its use, this pattern later became known as the “Versailles pattern.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Roman or French method of installing marble and natural stone consists of small tiles of four different sizes, harmonized in terms of dimensions (1\/2 and 1\/3), and consistent in thickness.<\/span><\/p>\n

This style of tile and stone has always been popular in Europe and throughout the Mediterranean region, where limestone, marble, or granite was mainly used for floors and walls.<\/span><\/p>\n
