Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of either calcium carbonate or calcium magnesium carbonate. It is a soft, porous stone that is usually composed of tiny fossils and bits of shells that can often be seen with the naked eye.
 

Limestone is hard and durable, making it an ideal choice for use as a flooring material. It can be used in the bedrooms as well as in the galleries in which heavy objects are placed on the floor.
 

Due to the natural appeal of limestone, it adorns the ambiance of a home, office or any other establishment. Flooring made of limestone is available in a variety of shades, colours and textures.

With a peculiar dull luster, it matches with furniture and interior decoration. You can use dark colored limestone flooring in the hallway and light colored limestone flooring in the bathroom to blend with the aesthetics of the space. (More...)

Granite is a hard, tough, igneous rock that is widely distributed in the Earth's continental crust. It is medium to coarse-grained and consists of a number of minerals, especially members of the feldspar group and quartz. It varies in composition and comes in a range of colours, such as white, pink, buff, gray, and black, often occurring in combination.
 

One of the most frequent uses of granite in the building industry is for countertops. Granite counters can be used in kitchens and bathrooms of many sizes and shapes.
 

Because granite is hard and durable, these tiles can be installed on floors, walls, counters and ceilings throughout homes and businesses.
 

Granite can be installed in busy walkways or shower walls without problems and require very little maintenance once installed. (More...)

Marble is a metamorphic stone, which means that it is a rock that changes composition over time from one rock to another. In marble's case, limestone or dolomite are softened over time under conditions of intense heat and pressure, and then are recrystallized as marble. Marble is a rating of between 2 and 5 on the Mohs scale of hardness for rocks and minerals, which means that it is a comparatively soft stone.
 

Marble is available in a rainbow of colours from pink, red, grey, green, brown and even black. Veined, streaked and other colored marbles are created from mineral impurities present when marble is formed, including sand, silt, clay and iron oxide.
 

Marble flooring throughout the home is popular because, in addition to its aesthetic appeal and easy maintenance, considered a durable and stain-resistant stone that people install in their kitchens as well since it's attractive and easy to clean, it substantially raises your property's value it is.

Slate rock is an example of a sedimentary rock. It gets formed from either clay or volcanic ash that has been superheated and pressurized underground.
 

Slate is used for external flooring, internal flooring and cladding. Slate floors are commonly laid in outdoor porches, basements, bathrooms and kitchens. Internal slate floors are durable, versatile and elegant. They allow homeowners and interior decorators to create unique, one-of-a-kind environments.
 

Slate floors are durable, nonporous, and require little maintenance. External slate flooring can be made with either random slate or slate tiles. Random slate comes in various shapes, such as trapezoids and parallelograms and offers a more natural look. Tiles make for a more finished-looking space.
 

Slate rock is used in various residential and commercial landscaping projects for its weather-resistant and pollution-resistant properties. It is used to pave paths, surround swimming pools, cover outer walls, make risers and treads on stairs, and even for patios. (More...)

Travertine is a sedimentary rock formed by the deposits of minerals and organic materials. Water passes through and dissolves limestone, picking up calcium carbonate.

Upon a change in temperature, the water releases its carbon dioxide as a gas and the remaining calcium carbonate recrystallizes. Biotic material such as algae then becomes encrusted with the calcium carbonate, creating the hard rock.

Travertine is available in gold, ivory, beige, green and deep brown with veins of contrasting colour running through the stone.

Travertine has a wide range of interior applications including flooring, mosaic tiles, fireplace surrounds, tub surrounds, vanities, sinks and kitchen back-splashes. (More..)
