Granite

As one of the strongest forms of natural stone tile, granite makes it possible to achieve that perfect combination of beauty and durability. Place it with confidence in high-traffic areas, such as entryways and kitchens, knowing that it will never let you down in front of friends or family. Due to its exceptional hardness, it is resistant to scratches and stains (and pets) and will last a lifetime. Just make sure you seal it properly in order to give it the waterproof nature it needs to withstand kitchen or bathroom usage.

Granite’s strength is matched only by its natural beauty. every slab of granite is different, guaranteeing a completely one-of-a-kind look for your elegant home. In addition, you can find granite in a variety of colors and finishes, from muted tones to sparkling and polished luxury.

The result? Granite is a smart choice for upgrading your home, declaring your style, standing out from the rest, AND enjoy a durable floor that will last you a lifetime.

Marble

Out of all forms of natural stone tile, marble is known as the premium luxury option. Known for its unmatched elegance and timeless style, it has been a central building material for centuries and has been the flooring of choice for royalty throughout the ages.

If you want to make a statement of sophistication without saying a word, you want to use highly polished, sparkling marble. Place this tile in any space where you want to dramatically upgrade the look of the room and capture the eye, and the respect, of anyone who enters your home.

However, be aware of marble’s downsides. Similar to granite, it must be properly sealed to prevent discoloration or damage. In addition, marble is a relatively soft natural stone, making it more susceptible to damage or chipping. And, due to its reactivity with acidic materials, only certain cleaners will work safely on marble flooring.

However, if you are willing to put in the appropriate care and maintenance, marble can reward you with stunning and exclusive looks for many years. Explore marble’s endless options for colors and veining to find the look that matches your unique style and invest in professional installation that will help you to care for your floor the right way.

Limestone

To make a flooring statement inside OR outside your home, you may want to consider limestone tiles. This soft stone is formed from the settling of sediment over many years and as a result has a unique texture and beautiful coloring that stand out from granite or marble options.

Due to its softness, limestone is not as durable as granite or marble. It is also significantly heavier than those two materials. As a result, you should hire professional assistance in transporting and installing the limestone, to prevent chipping or other damage. You should also plan to seal the tiles and maintain them regularly in order to get a lifetime of use and beauty out of them.

Does your home and style require a distinctive look? Limestone’s many colors and shades make it easy to get a look unlike any other for your home. Elegance. Luxury. And quality. They all come together in limestone flooring.

While not as well-known as marble or granite or limestone, travertine natural stone tile is one of the most diverse options for upgrading your home. Not only does it come in a wide variety of colors, it also comes in many different finishes. Choose from sophisticated ivory or rustic brown, matte finishes or polished finishes.
