Choosing your Natural Stone FlooringA natural stone floor will raise the profile of any home, and we are here to help maintain your investment, although its good to know about a few of the pro's and con's of beautiful terrazzo, marble, granite, limestone, sandstone, slate or mosaic flooring. Here is a little from our experts about the qualities of natural stone floors: Identify your Stone
Versatility of Natural Stone FlooringStone is ideal for every room in the house such as the hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and is increasingly used in the bedroom. Unlike most floor coverings, natural stone actually improves with age developing its own unique sheen and patina as it is walked upon.
If you are preparing to have stone flooring installed, you would be well advised to order one or two extra packs of the tile. This is because natural stone floor tiles due to them being sourced from the earth, can differ in colour and quality. Ordering more than you need means you can move around and match tiles, also you will have spares should your flooring suffer damage any time. There is a vast range of looks and finishes with stone flooring including honed, polished, riven, tumbled, antiqued, brushed, flamed and unfilled. Protecting your Stone Floor TilesMany people wonder whether or not they need to seal their natural stone flooring, but sealing your stone floor tiles will ensure that they are protected against staining and impairment. Products like dyes, food, oil or harsh cleaners will have a detrimental effect on your fabulous stone floor, and one of the range of sealing agents available is a wise choice. If properly sealed with a good quality penetrating sealant, your stone floors will have an invisible protective barrier, which will repel liquids like wine or oil if spilled. This gives you valuable minutes in which to wipe up the spill, and clean with a gentle cleaner specific to your particular stone. If these liquids are allowed to sit for long on the stone, they could cause some etching of the surface, although this is not generally a permanent flaw and should gradually fade.
