Natural Stone
The use of natural stone dates back many thousands of years and was used extensively by the Greeks and Romans, much of which has lasted to modern day. Stone more than most products looks better with wear and matures with age making it look richer as time goes on. Although not stocking natural stone ourselves, we use the services of many suppliers where we can source some excellent examples, one of those beings Core and Ore of Bristol and if you want to visit and spend some time around the 'chic' upmarket Clifton Village area of Bristol, you'll be spoiled for choice and well looked after in their superb showroom. Another of our suppliers Mandarin Stone hold an extensive stock of various types of natural wall and floor stone products. Here's an overview of different natural stone flooring types.(*) BASALT- A hard and dense, fine grained volcanic rock which is usually grey in colour. GRANITE- A hard igneous rock where colours can be intense and often varied. LIMESTONE- This sedimentary rock geologically formed by consolidation of sea shells. This calcareous stone is usually light in colour with delicate shell and mineral mottling. Darker varieties are less prolific. MARBLE- A metamorphic rock historically used in ancient buildings by the Greeks and Romans. Marble encompasses a vast spectrum of colours from white to black, with mineral veining generally contrasting to the base stone colour. SANDSTONE- A coarse-grained sedimentary rock formed by compressed sand deposited by water or wind. It is commonly characterised by a granular surface. SCHIST- A dense metamorphic rock that offers considerable shade variations ranging from light pearl grey to dark gold. SLATE- A fine grained metamorphic rock that characteristically splits into broad sheets. A durable stone, which offers a diverse range of colours and textures.
