Natural Stone/Ceramic
Types of Natural Stone
Slate Tile: Natural slate has beautiful color variations and exhibits clear clefting along parallel
planes which gives it a unique, streaming texture. Extremely durable, it’s often used in outdoor
areas like patios.
Granite Tile: Nearly as hard as a diamond, granite is frequently used for countertops. Like a
diamond, it’ is praised for its beauty - its many striking colors exhibit distinctive structural
characteristics.
Travertine Tile: Though famed structures like the Roman Coliseum and St. Peter’s Basilica
were constructed from this beautiful stone, it’ is often times used in entryways today because of
its warm and welcoming nature.
Marble Tile: The smooth surface of marble takes a high polish and displays vivid, natural color
patterns. Frequently found in bath areas, it is considered the archetype of classical elegance.
Limestone Tile: Used as a traditional building material for centuries because of its inherent
beauty, Limestone is extremely versatile. It can be used for everything from floors in living areas
to walls in baths.
Tumbled Stone Tile: Marble, travertine and other natural stones that are cobbled and distressed
to capture the romantic look of stone from centuries past. Its weathered surface and seemingly
timeworn edges enhance its color palette.
