Natural stone facts you need to know
Natural stone is an amazing material for flooring your home for a variety of reasons. Since it is found naturally in the earth, it's very durable and withstands the elements with ease. Even softer stone is made suitable for flooring with just a bit of preparation. Since some of these products stain easier than others, you might need to have them sealed to cover pores. This makes it easier to clean them while at the same time, making them harder to stain.
With a great variety of stone types available, it's important to remember that each one has its own set of characteristics. Because of this, you might find one stone perfect for the kitchen, while other works better in bedrooms and studies. Granite, for instance, is an excellent choice for kitchens, in both flooring and countertops, as it is least likely to soak up moisture, stain, or harbor any kind of bacteria. Slate is a great choice for both indoor and outdoor use, as it stands up well under drastic temperature changes with no negative effects.
Natural stone is an interesting material for your floors in that no two pieces are ever exactly the same. You'll note different markings, veining and color variations that make each one its own unique piece. This means whichever stone you choose, it will be completely exclusive to your home.

Granite
Granite is a very popular natural stone product. It is one of the most durable and versatile choices on the market today. There is something quite beautiful about the unique colors, patterns and textures found in granite slabs. Tile Outlet offers a large selection of granite in lots of colors and textures so that you will certainly find one that is ideally suited to your home's interior décor. Each slab can be cut to any size and finish so that it will match your stated preferences. Here are some practical applications of granite slabs:
- Bathrooms - Granite looks fabulous as a bathroom countertop. We can polish the surface so that it is both lustrous and easy to clean. Granite is only recommended for floors having a less polished surface to reduce slipperiness and thereby increase safety when it is wet.
- Bedrooms - Granite lends a classic and elegant ‘look' to any bedroom. It also blends well with either modern or vintage furniture. This means that it will give you more decorating possibilities.
- Kitchens - This material is ideal as a kitchen countertop because it is heat resistant. You can set pots and pans on a granite countertop straight from the stove without damaging its surface. It is also a sufficiently hard material to withstand food being sliced on its surface. Perhaps equally important, when properly sealed, it does not absorb bacteria, so it is a sanitary choice as well. Granite can also be used for kitchen flooring, as long as it has the proper texture to prevent people from slipping.
Marble
Marble is a natural stone material that has nearly as many uses as it does colors and shades. Marble's beauty has long attracted homeowners to the possibility of choosing marble for use in their homes. Marble is very durable; it can increase the market resale value of your home; it is a great material for homes where residents have allergies or asthma; it discriminates against the growth of mold and mildew; and it is a product that permits diverse interior design possibilities.
Glass
Glass tiles have gained amazing popularity in recent years because of recent technological breakthroughs in the way it can be cut and installed. Glass tiles are not only resistant to water; they are available in intense color and will reflect light.
In fact, glass tile allows you to use color and light in ways that other products just cannot, and it's absolutely the ideal material for areas that are wet or continually submerged. Glass tiles are most often used in kitchen backsplashes, bathroom accents, showers, and even as flooring. They can also be used in stunning mosaics to create beautiful interior design visuals.
