Natural stone flooring adds a warm, cozy, inviting atmosphere to a space. Because of this, it’s one of the top choices for those who are installing a new floor. When it comes to natural stone tiles, it’s important to understand the characteristics of each specific type of stone in order to make sure it’s the right choice for the space it will be used in. This is why our professionals at Modern Stone are more than happy to go over the intricacies of each type of stone with you and to answer any questions you may have.
Travertine
Offered in over 35 color options, travertine tile remains one of the leading choices for our clients. This is because travertine is durable, easy to install, simple to maintain, and it provides a pleasing texture and neutral color tones, which makes any space warm and inviting.
Marble
With a reputation for being both classically beautiful and luxurious, marble flooring always makes a big statement in any room. Even if it’s just installed in a small space—such as an entryway or a half bathroom—marble flooring is eye-catching and makes a big impression.
Granite
Granite tile flooring is popular because it’s strong, resilient, and has a lot of color options to select from. We offer over 50, in fact. For those who love a natural look, granite is perfect because it’s literally rock that is made from volcanic activity. At Modern Stone, we have the right granite tile for every home and commercial building.
Slate
As one of the strongest standard types of natural stone, slate has a solid durability that makes it resistant to wear, scratches, breaks, cracks, and chipping. If properly maintained, slate can last and look incredible for decades—plus, it comes in plenty of colors to choose from!
Quartzite
An extraordinarily hard and durable natural stone, quartzite has incredible strength which makes it perfect for flooring. It’s also sustainable, environmentally friendly, and comes in a variety of colors to select from. Besides all this, quartzite tiles often have a “sparkling” texture that is visually appealing.
Onyx
If you want something distinctive, onyx tile has naturally beautiful translucence and line of contrasting colors running throughout which defines its unique color characteristics. It has a much smoother surface than many other natural stone tiles. Onyx requires careful maintenance, so be sure to ask our experts about this if you’re considering it for your home or commercial building.
Limestone
Limestone is a popular natural stone flooring choice, since it has a solidly strong surface and features subtle tones that create a clean, comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. Limestone is a premium flooring option which comes in over 30 color tones.
