Natural stone can be used in numerous applications, both on the interior and exterior of your home. They can be used as counter tops in kitchens, bars, laundry rooms, vanity tops in bathrooms, tabletops, flooring, walkways, building facades, interior wall cladding, fireplace surrounds, accent walls, stairs – landings and risers, patios, etc.

Stone prices vary largely, and this is mostly to do with the location and size of the stone quarries. Remote or smaller quarries mean that they are harder to get to and harder to quarry which leads to a scarcity of product and surge in pricing. Other factors could be the mineral content in the stone and the cost of logistics in bringing the product to you.

Kitchen and bar counters are commonly exposed to liquids like water, milk, juices, wine or other alcohol, acidic substances like citrus vegetables, some fruits, acetic acid as well as sharp utensils, all of which can damage any countertop. However, Granite is one of the strongest and most dense stones in nature with high tolerance to heat and tension due to which it is resistant to etching, staining and absorption making it one of the top choices for use in kitchens and bars.

• Many of today’s popular styles of tile are designed to look and feel like natural stone, emulating their rugged surface and color variations. These tiles are intended to show color and texture variations, just like natural stone. Since the composition of the tile’s glaze also varies, different tile styles will also exhibit different gloss levels.
• You should also be aware that solid color tiles provide a consistent look, however shade variation is inherent in all fired ceramic products and certain tiles will show greater variation within their dye lots.
• Shade variation is usually indicated on the carton of each tile product with a low, moderate, high or random rating. Here, to help you, are the definitions:
  • Low – Consistent shade and texture
  • Moderate – Moderate shade and texture variation
  • High – High shade and texture variation
  • Random – Very high shade and texture variation
• The presence of shade variation in the tile is represented by a multi shaded square grid on the tile carton and is true for almost tiles.
