Natural Stone Tiles

Fifty years ago, ‘design’ was for the rich and famous. Today, we’re all increasingly aware of how design can enhance our lives.

In recent years, trends in design have been influenced by the growing interest in all things natural. No surprise then that natural stone has become so popular with leading designers. It combines all the beauty of a unique, textural surface with long-lasting performance.

Natural stone tiles come in a variety of types, such as limestone, marble, granite and slate, and finishes, such as polished, honed (a satin finish) or, for a more rustic feel, rippled. Combine with an undertile heating system for a beautifully warm and inviting room.

These products can vary enormously in wearability and shading, depending upon the type of stone: some are extremely hard and others quite soft, some may need sealing, and because they're natural products they can vary a great deal in thickness. Our experienced sales team can advise on which natural stone products are most suitable for your requirements.

Limestone
Limestone is a sedimentary stone composed mainly of calcite, which was formed over millions of years from sea shells and marine fossils to create a beautiful range of textures and colours. This, along with flexibility, durability and ease of maintenance, makes limestone a popular choice throughout the home, on the wall or floor. For further details or to view an extensive range of limestone tiles please contact us.

Marble
Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from calcium carbonate historically used in ancient buildings by the Greeks and Romans, and has for generations, offered a subtle beauty that is impossible to match.

Marble offers a highly durable and attractive flooring, encompassing a vast spectrum of colours and is an inspirational way to transform hallways, bathrooms and kitchens. For more information or to view an extensive range of marble tiles please contact us.

Travertine
Travertine is a crystalline form of calcium carbonate resulting from spring or river deposits, and was first used by the Romans some 2000 years ago.

Travertine comes in a huge range, from sandy coffee shades to a lighter oatmeal, which are rarely uniform and contain flecks of other shades. Travertine is a hard durable stone characterised by surface pits and holes. It’s at home in traditional or contemporary settings, and we offer a wide selection from the best quarries around the world.

Granite
Granite is formed from liquid magma which over eons solidifies under huge pressure within the earth’s core and is forced to the surface of the earth. It is a course-grained rock mad of quartz, feldspar and mica, and is one of the hardest natural stones available to man.

Granite offers colour, warmth, and beauty, which combined with high resistance makes granite the most highly valued natural stone. It’s durable and hard wearing…ideal for any application. For more information please do not hesitate to contact us.

Slate
Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic rock, formed from clay, sedimentary rock shale and sometimes quartz, that characteristically splits into broad sheets.

Slate is a durable stone that offers a diverse range of colours and textures, giving many options on interior and exterior design. For a comprehensive range of slate tiles please contact us.
