Why choose natural stone tiles?
When it comes to choosing the right tiles for your home interior project, you need to strike the perfect balance between practicality and aesthetics.
This is why natural stone tiles are a popular choice as they possess a raft of unique practical properties that tick all the boxes:
- Durability: the durability of natural stone means that flooring and walling can last for centuries and will require minimal maintenance. Thanks to its hardness, it's able to cope with everyday wear and tear, even in areas of high footfall like the kitchen and living area
- Water resistance: many natural stones like marble and slate are incredibly dense, meaning they absorb very little water - which is why they’re often found in bathrooms and kitchens. Softer options like travertine are slightly more porous but, with sealing, they can also provide robust, water-repelling properties
- Versatility: with our choice of natural stone wall and floor tiles you can bring rustic charm to any part of the home, including outside. Natural stones like slate and marble possess all the practical properties needed for hard, waterproof and robust outdoor tiles, and are ideal for withstanding the elements and extreme temperature changes
- Sustainability: the durability and natural composition of stone tiles make them a solid choice for eco-friendly, sustainable interior design, as they deliver a timeless aesthetic that won’t need replacing any time soon
- Good investment: natural stone has become a highly sought-after feature that can add value to a property. These tiles can even be used with underfloor heating, as natural stone floor tiles conduct heat to create a cosy and warm living area. While this may require a greater initial outlay, this sustainable solution means you’ll reap the rewards for decades after - with dramatically decreased utility bills
