Natural stone tiles for timeless interiors

Granite tiles offer strength and natural character

Granite tile is known for its strength and distinctive appearance. Its natural mineral composition creates unique speckles, movement, and color variations.

Because of its durability, granite can work well in areas that receive regular use. Depending on the product and finish, granite tile may be used for floors, walls, backsplashes, and other design features.

Granite also comes in a wide range of colors, from subtle neutrals to darker and more dramatic looks. Proper sealing can help protect the stone from moisture and staining.

Limestone tiles create a warm, natural look

Limestone has a softer, more understated appearance than many other stones. Common colors include cream, beige, tan, and gray.

Its muted tones work well in relaxed, organic interiors and can complement many Florida-inspired designs. Limestone tile may be used for floors, walls, bathrooms, and other applications, depending on the specific product.

Because limestone is porous, proper sealing and maintenance are important. We can help you determine whether a particular limestone is suitable for your project.

Marble tiles add timeless elegance

Marble tile is instantly recognizable for its natural veining and movement. It can turn floors, showers, walls, and decorative features into focal points.

While white and gray marble remain popular, options also include cream, beige, black, brown, and other colors. Veining can range from subtle to dramatic.

Marble flooring is softer and more sensitive to acidic substances than granite, so proper cleaning and sealing are important for maintaining its appearance.

Travertine tiles bring warmth and texture

Travertine is a type of limestone known for its natural texture and warm appearance. Common colors include beige, cream, tan, brown, and gray.

Finishes can change its look considerably. Honed travertine provides a smoother surface, while tumbled finishes create a more rustic appearance.

Depending on the product, travertine tile can be considered for floors, walls, showers, patios, and other applications. Like limestone, it typically benefits from proper sealing.

Where can you install natural stone tiles?

Natural stone is not limited to flooring. Depending on the stone, finish, and installation requirements, it may be used for:

• Kitchen and bathroom flooring
• Entryways and hallways
• Shower floors and walls
• Kitchen backsplashes
• Fireplace surrounds
• Accent and feature walls
• Outdoor patios and living spaces
• Decorative borders and details

Not every stone is appropriate for every location. Moisture, slip resistance, porosity, traffic, and maintenance should all be considered before choosing a product.

How do you clean and maintain natural stone tiles?

Routine care can help protect natural stone flooring for years. Sweep or vacuum flooring regularly to remove sand and grit that could scratch the surface.

For deeper cleaning, use a pH-neutral cleaner made specifically for natural stone. Avoid vinegar, lemon, abrasive products, and harsh chemicals unless approved by the stone manufacturer.

Clean spills promptly, particularly on porous stones such as marble, limestone, and travertine. Many natural stones also require periodic sealing. The frequency depends on the stone, finish, location, sealer, and amount of use.

Always follow the manufacturer's care recommendations for your specific product.
