Stone Flooring at its Best
2
Flooring is the base of any house and should be
properly taken care of. A good flooring can give
lifelong durability. There so many good flooring
designs and style available to give your room the
look that you want. Stone flooring is one of
those designs that have durability and so many
options to make you confused. If you want a
shining finishing, a vintage look or more natural
looking floors you can get all of them with stone
floorings. The best type of stone
flooring Marble- The prized classic looking
stone flooring has been the choices by many for
bringing an elegant look. Marble is known for
their creamy colour and soft grains, White, red,
green and black these are the four colour types
of marble. Marbles may not be the best choice for
kitchen or bathroom because of its slippery
nature, nut honed marbles can be an exception in
this case. You need to use professional sealing
because it tends to get scratched up
easily. Granite- This is an igneous rock under
extreme pressure, thus it is the hardest flooring
material to install. It is also not easy to stain
or get scratched up and comes with many colours.
You can easily find this material and maybe your
local dealer gives them to you at a lesser price.

Slate- This stone was built in layers, so it can
easily be split into thin sheets. You can leave
them into their original state with a rough
surface or you can make them smooth. You can
install the rough surface in the bathroom or
kitchen to avoid accidents. You can only find
this material in dark green, grey and brown
colours with dancelike features. Travertine-
This sedimentary rock is one of the most
versatile stone flooring rock floorings. That
means this material will get softer and mellow
over time. You can choose from a large range of
colour when it comes to this flooring and often
polished travertine resembles a marble-like
flooring. You need to be careful not to spill any
acidic fluid or it can get stained. Limestone-
Limestone is a cousin of travertine but it is
harder and better to use for everyday use. You
will see the magnificent grain pattern when they
are cut into long narrow lines, these patterns
will give resembles of the hardwood floor. And
they can be quite durable in heavy traffic and
will be stain free if the stone-sealer is applied.
