| Guide for Natural Stone |
There is no real substitute for natural stone. Stone floors are
practical and easy to maintain. They will continue to look good and
even improve with age.
Marble
Marble is available in a selection of finishes offering a highly
durable and attractive flooring surface for almost any application.
Polished marble is very well suited for a formal setting such as an
entrance hall, dining room or reception. Many white marble such will
go very well in a bathroom. If a softer less formal look is required
honed marble can be very effective.
Polished Marble
Polished marble as the name indicates the marble is given a highly
polished surface. This type of marble in the correct situation is
fabulous to look at. You have always to remember that it can show
minute scratches over time
Honed
This is the stage prior to a polished surface and has a matt
appearance. Often used for flooring as it is often considered easier
to maintain.
Granite
Granite is extremely hard wearing and can be used externally as well
as internally. Polished granite looks fantastic and can be treated
with a non-slip substance to prevent slipping when wet. The surface
can also be honed or flamed to give it texture
The use of Granite is almost limitless when it comes to kitchen
worktop offering an elegant and practical solution to many design
issues.
Limestone
Limestone as a product is a truly natural flooring option, it is a
very popular material often used in kitchens, bathrooms, dinning rooms
or even living rooms. Although the majority of limestones are beige in
colour there are other colours available. For a more rustic look they
can be antiqued.
Travertine
Travertine marble tiles are a very dense form of Calcium Carbonate and
although a Limestone, Travertine is more usually considered as a
Marble. By its very nature Travertine has many voids in the surfaces
that can be pre-filled using a coloured or clear resin or filled when
laying using grout
Sandstone
Sandstone has a coarser texture than Limestone and is therefore well
suited for non-slip areas such as around swimming pool or as path. It
can be used internally if a more rustic look is required.
Slate
Slate this product is ideal for the kitchen. Slate is available in
many vibrant colours and not just the grey often associated with
slate. It can be polished or plain flat texture.
