Marble is a luxurious, elegant natural stone that adds sophistication to any space. Known for its distinctive veining patterns, marble comes in a range of colors from white to black. It’s commonly used for backsplashes, flooring, accent walls, and countertops.

Travertine is a type of limestone formed by mineral deposits from hot springs. It offers a rustic, old-world look and is ideal for creating warm, textured surfaces. Modern travertine finishes provide a refined appearance while retaining natural character.

Slate is naturally slip-resistant, making it an excellent choice for indoor and outdoor applications. Its durability and layered texture make it popular for floors, walls, and mosaics.

Granite and quartzite are both natural stones that rank high on the hardness scale, offering exceptional resistance to scratches and heat. These stones are popular for countertops due to their durability and natural beauty. Note, while similar in name, quartzite is a natural stone, and quartz is an engineered material.

Different stones have unique properties suited for specific areas. Here are key considerations:

For outdoor flooring, choose stones with textured finishes like slate for slip resistance. Travertine and other weather-resistant stones also perform well in exterior spaces.

Water and slip resistance are essential for bathroom installations. Stones like marble and slate are commonly used for floors and walls, while mosaics work well for shower floors.

Natural stone countertops—such as granite, marble, and quartzite—are a timeless choice for kitchens. Each stone type varies in maintenance needs, so select one that fits your lifestyle.

Proper care ensures your stone surfaces remain beautiful and durable over time.

Natural stone varies in color and pattern. Always inspect pieces before installation to ensure the overall look meets your expectations. Unlike manufactured products, natural stone does not have dye lots.

Stones feature unique veining, fissures, and mineral patterns that are part of their natural beauty. Instead of avoiding these characteristics, embrace them—they make each piece one of a kind.
