I am looking for about 100 square feet of red marble flooring for an addition to my house. I enclosed a porch and want to extend the flooring out to the addition. I realize since the house was built in the early 60's I will never be able to match the floor exactly but I need to try. The current tile is 18 inch by 18 inch and has a red tone to it.

I was just hoping that some one would have something close. If not then when I get to the main land I'll look around and as close as possible. I have already checked the floor factory and "out of stock" home depot does not have anything close.

I want to enclose a porch too!
though,I can`t decide on the roof...
Do I build a lani(the way i descibe it is a roof that air can flow through, not sure if i`m using the term right).
Or a roof(can be a big problem in a hurricane).
What roof do you suggest?

it depends on what type of roof you have on the house. I have a sloped flat roof. So I created a lower sloped flat roof down from the existing roof. I was lucky in that the porch was already cement. So I just added up with several windows, eliminated the out side door, plastered the walls and I was done. Buy the way my porch was round on one end. So that made it a litle more difficult. But I used hurrican hangeres as well as rod and bolts to hook onto the walls. I added hurricane shutters to the windows.

If you have a a frame peaked roof I would suggest that you create a roof that is at a right angle to the existing roof.
