Frequently Asked Questions
Natural stone tiles are well-suited to bathroom floors. Seal them before installation and reseal periodically to protect against moisture and staining. Limestone, travertine and slate all perform well in wet areas. We'd recommend a honed or textured finish underfoot for grip.
Natural stone tiles are quarried directly from the earth, each with their own tonal variation and surface character. Stone effect tiles are porcelain or ceramic, made to replicate the look of stone. They're more consistent and easier to maintain: a good choice if care and durability are what you're after.
Stone mosaic tiles are suitable for wet areas, including shower walls and splashbacks. Seal and grout them correctly before use. Their smaller format creates more grout lines, which helps with grip underfoot. For wet conditions, slate and honed limestone are both solid choices.
Natural stone tile care is straightforward with the right products. Seal before use and reseal periodically. For daily cleaning, use a pH-neutral product made for stone. Avoid acidic cleaners: vinegar and citrus solutions can etch softer stones like limestone and travertine.
Stone tiles are available in a range of sizes, from large slabs to smaller tiles and mosaics. Larger formats suit open-plan spaces and keep things feeling calm and cohesive. Smaller formats and mosaics work well in detailed areas, or anywhere you want a more tactile surface.
