Types of Natural Stone
There are five common types of natural stone; granite, marble, slate, travertine, and limestone.
Granite
Granite is an igneous rock composed of coarse grains. When processed to a smooth finish, it retains the rough markings. The coloring ranges from white to black.
Granite is durable and scratch-resistant. It is also heat and water-resistant, making it great for kitchen countertops and water areas.
It is slippery when wet, tough, and heavy.
Slate
Slate is a naturally occurring metamorphic rock quarried in many parts of the world. It has foliated features, and when quarried, it is broken along those foliations.
Slate commonly comes in black, grey, and dark grey. But other colors are possible.
Slate is tough, water repellent, and adds an exotic touch to your home. You can use it on your floor, wall, or roof. However, it is a pricey option.
Marble Tiles Miami
Marble is a metamorphic rock that has been in use since ancient Greek civilization. It is beautifully veined but not as durable as either slate or granite. It also reacts with acidic substances and stains permanently.
Travertine
Limestone having a marble-like texture in it is Travertine. It comes in earthy colors and is durable. It is porous, so you should seal it properly and regularly. After that, a dab with a wet mop will do
Limestone
Limestone is the most affordable of all the natural stone flooring options. Beware of maintenance costs, however. It has a soft look and is excellent for outdoor spaces. However, it requires regular resealing.
