The aesthetics of natural stone is popular due to its wide variety of colours, textures and patterns which allow for unique and attractive looks to be attained within a space. Natural stone varies from batch to batch, creating new colours, textures and patterns, this allows for constant diversity between projects, even when using the same stone!

Natural Stones durability is dependent on the type of stone you choose, however most natural stones are highly durable, making them a great investment. Granite, Quartzite and Marble are the most durable natural stones, with Granite being the most durable and highly resistant to scratches, stains and heat. Marble is also very durable, however it is more susceptible to scratches, etches and stains compared to Granite and Quartzite. Limestone, Sandstone and Slate are the least durable natural stones where they are relatively soft and porous while also being susceptible to scratches, stains and etches, although some types of slate are more durable than others. It is important to note that the durability of natural stone can also be impacted by how it is installed, finished and maintained. Proper sealing and maintenance will increase the durability and longevity of natural stone.
