🧱 What Is Natural Stone Tiling?

Natural stone tiles are cut from real stone slabs, making every piece unique in colour, pattern, and texture. Unlike manufactured tiles, these materials come from nature — giving them a timeless, luxurious look and a high-end feel underfoot.

🔎 Types of Natural Stone We Install

We work with a range of high-quality natural stones, including:

• Travertine – Ideal for floors, patios, and pool areas due to its natural slip resistance.

• Marble – A classic choice for bathrooms, splashbacks, and feature walls.

• Limestone – Great for indoor floors, especially in light, modern designs.

• Slate – Durable and earthy, perfect for outdoor paths or rustic interiors.

• Granite – Extremely strong and stain-resistant — popular in kitchens and high-traffic areas.

• Bluestone & Sandstone – Often used for outdoor paving and pool surrounds.

📌 Where Natural Stone Is Used

• Bathrooms – walls, floors, vanity surrounds

• Kitchens – splashbacks, floors, feature accents

• Outdoor Areas – alfresco zones, pool coping, walkways

• Living Rooms & Entrances – elegant stone floors or cladding

• Fireplaces – statement surrounds and hearths
