Natural Stone Tiles

Natural Stone Tile

Real quarried stone, cut into tile: marble, travertine, limestone, slate, granite and quartzite. No two pieces carry the same veining, which is the point. Most of this range is honed or polished 12x12 and 18x18, with larger 24x24 and 24x48 slabs for open floors.

Stone behaves differently from porcelain and that is worth knowing before you buy. It is porous, so it takes a penetrating sealer. It etches if an acid sits on it, which is why a honed surface suits a kitchen better than a polished one. In return you get depth and a surface that can be refinished decades later.

For outdoor work look at tumbled travertine and sandblasted marble, which stay grippy when wet. Indoors, honed marble is the workhorse for bathrooms and limestone gives the same calm look with less veining.
