Stone Flooring & Wall Tiles

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. We can supply most types of natural tiles for floors and walls. Fixing natural stone is quite different to fixing ceramic tiles and is quite a specialised job, which should be carried out correctly by a qualified fitter to insure maximum effectiveness from your chosen stone.

“Did you know that a stone floor is proven to be healthier than carpets, eliminates the dust mites and adds value to your home?”

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. A white marble such as Bianca Carrara will go very well in a bathroom. If a softer less formal look is required honed marble can be very effective.

Polished
As the name indicates the marble is given a highly polished surface. This, in the correct situation is fabulous but 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.

Popular marbles:

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 most popular size of granite for domestic applications is 30.5 x 30.5 x 1cm. These tiles are available in a wide selection of colours. Prices depend on the type of Granite, certain types are difficult to extract thus the price is higher than the more common types.

The use of Granite is almost limitless from a kitchen worktop to floors and walls offering an elegant and practical solution to many design issues.
