Many people would say that natural stone is the best choice when it comes to tiles which is why it is one of our most popular choices at DY Tiling. Natural stone does require a certain degree of maintenance over time to keep it in tip top condition (as do most floor coverings), but if you look after them correctly, there is no reason why your natural stone tiles cannot last for hundreds of years.
The natural stone itself is derived from naturally occurring substances which mean that it is durable and can withstand high traffic areas such as hallways, corridors and entrances if it is to be used as flooring.

Natural stone’s colour, texture and pattern is completely random, this is the point of natural stone and is a characteristic that tile manufacturers spend a lot of time and money on trying to copy. Examples: Limestone: creamy white appearance. Travertine: a form of limestone with darker shades of beiges, creams, and browns. Slate formed over many years from volcanic ash to produce very durable dark stone and earthy colours. Marble: crystal structures producing almost translucent appearance giving a pure luxurious look. Granite: a form of harder stone. Among these types of natural stone are thousands of varieties with characteristics that depend on where and when the stone was quarried.
Variations of natural stone finishes include: honed: this is where the surface has been filled to lose its hole appearance and ground to a smooth surface. Riven: this is where the surfaces are irregular as the material is split by hand. Polished: this is where the surface has a layer of gloss and polished to create that shiny look.
