Natural Stone at Quality Floors & More has a matchless beauty all to its own. With proper maintenance & care, installed stone can last many lifetimes. Granite, Marble, Slate, or Travertine each offer their outstanding natural beauty that cannot be repeated. Choose from many stones for indoor or outdoor applications. The fun is in the design!
There are many aesthetic & practical reasons why natural stone flooring can be the right choice:
- Each piece of our stone is an unusual creation of the earth, making each flooring application one of a kind. Every floor is entirely unique.
- The stone’s mountain-born qualities can help give living spaces a direct & eternal connection to the natural world, unlike any other building material.
- Stone tiles are natural, non polluting, eco-friendly pieces. Buying stones which were obtained locally can surely help in cutting down the environmental impact of transport.
Types of Stone Flooring
Prized for its timeless elegance, marble flooring at Quality Floors & More has been around since ancient times. It’s instantly recognizable for its soft grain patterns & creamy colors ranging from white to red, green & black. It’s often polished to a high sheen that shows off its subtle beauty.
Polished marble is slippery when wet & isn’t the best choice for kitchens & baths. Honed marble has more surface texture & is a good alternative, but doesn’t have polished marble’s dynamic color.
Marble is one of nature’s softer rocks & prone to scratching & staining, so professional sealing after installation is recommended.
Granite
Granite is an igneous rock formed under extreme pressure, making it one of the most rigid flooring materials. It’s virtually impervious to staining & scratching. It comes in many colors & is found throughout the country — local varieties of granite flooring may be less expensive due to lower shipping costs.
Stone Floors at Quality Floors & More
Stone floors provide a beautiful & durable flooring that can add significant value to your location’s facility. With proper maintenance, stone floors such as marble, granite, terrazzo & travertine can last the building’s life. However, without the right kind of care, these floors can prove to be an expensive venture.
It is important to note that each flooring type has its own characteristics, making their care unique in each situation. For example, some natural stone flooring options such as marble, slate, or granite can’t use specific finish products due to their hard, smooth nature. Cleaning these surfaces with neutral cleaners is essential as high-alkaline solutions or acid-based products can damage the flooring.
Natural Stone Floor Selection & Maintenance
The amount & size of pores within a stone (also known as porosity) dictates the hardness, durability, water resistance & other key factors that affect floor maintenance. High-traffic areas generally have a harder, non-porous stone floor such as granite or slate that stands up to more weight with fewer scratches & stains. Other types of natural stone floors will simply need more maintenance (a yearly sealant application & frequent cleaning) to eliminate pitting & staining.
