There are four types of stone that homeowners and interior designers select regularly.

QUARTZITE: 

Incredibly beautiful and highly practical. It has a lovely textured surface with beautiful graining and has slip resistant  characteristics, which makes it a good choice for wet areas and well suited for young children and elderly who may be more prone to slip. Each piece is distinct and has its own character but laid together forms a tapestry of luxury and elegance.

LIMESTONE: 

An earthier more natural look, is achieved with limestone. Because of its versatility, popular uses for limestone include flooring, interior and exterior wall cladding, paving. It is a great option if you are looking for a natural appeal. It is a stone that is cold in nature and is formed over time from shells and fossils that have been compacted by pressure. It comes in a variety of natural tones , shades and textures and will give your home a vintage charm.

GRANITE:

Granite is mesmerising because of the multitude of metallic and mineral flecks or veins that are present. Granites are extremely hard, durable and scratch resistant.  Granite is also heat, and stain resistant.  If your design requires permanence, enduring colour and texture, and easy maintenance, this is the stone of choice.  It is commonly used on facades of commercial buildings .

SLATE:

Here we have highlighted four types of natural stone. When choosing natural stone for your project, ask yourself a couple of questions:

1. What look am I trying to achieve? 
2. Where will I be placing the stone?
3. What finish should I choose for the area?
4. How will my lifestyle impact my choice?
5. What care will it require?

It is recommended natural stone needs to be sealed with a penetrating sealer, not a topical sealer. Topical sealers can alter the surface texture and finish as well as build up on the surface, creating a layer that is less durable than the stone.

Once properly sealed, the stone will be protected against everyday dirt, spills and stains, and will give you timeless natural beauty.
