Internal Paving Merit of Natural Stones

• Granite Stone in Internal Paving
• It is the most expensive option among the natural
  paving stones, so the least used in home paving.
• Granite is an impervious stone material with the
  least porosity, so it is the least susceptible to
  stains.

• Marble Stone in Internal Paving
• The most used and comparatively affordable
  material for internal paving across the world.
  Therefore, its availability is universal in a
  wide variety.
• It provides enough variations in color, design,
  shapes, and sizes. So, you can select the best
  shades and grain patterns based on the
  availability in your vicinity.

  the availability in your region.

  interior decoration for paving, it becomes a
  choice of many.

  to heat and cold transmission and provides great
  buffers against weather extremities.

  halls, living room, and bedroom.

  consists of steps where molded clay heated to
  high temperature inside a kiln. Due to heat,
  structure get hardens, and color fuses in the
  design.

  resistance, frost resistance, chemical
  resistance, and stain resistant! It provides
  enough design flexibility. It is durable and
  sturdy in compared to ceramic tiles. It requires
