STONE TILES

Stone Tiles — Characteristics

Stone tiles are made from natural stone, which is the most durable material among other finishing elements on the market. Stones are nearly indestructible. They have been used in construction for centuries to build structures, many of which we can still admire today. The characteristic feature of stone tiles is their color values, which are difficult to achieve with plastics. Nature knows no limits, so by choosing stone for your interior, you will admire the extraordinary mosaic of colors every day. In our offer, you will find stone tiles made mainly of granite, marble, quartzite, and travertine.

Stone Tiles — Granite and Marble

Granite is scratch-resistant, hard, and indestructible. It is also frost-resistant and rainproof due to its water resistance. This eliminates the danger of water freezing, which would otherwise cause the stone to crack. The tiles shine in the sunlight, creating a magical atmosphere in the interior. Granite can come in several shades, not only gray but also white, red, and even green!

Marble can be considered the most elegant of all natural stones. Tiles made from natural stone — marble, have characteristic veining that blends well with modern interior design. Marble is perfect for stone floor tiles due to its excellent heat conduction and retention properties.

Stone Tiles — Travertine and Quartzite

Travertine is a very noble natural stone, used to build the Colosseum! It has a porous structure, which makes the wall or floor resemble rock. The effect of a timeless interior is guaranteed! The color variations are mainly warm shades of beige and brown, adding coziness to the space. It is used to produce stone wall tiles but also as flooring material.

Quartzite stone tiles are the best choice for those who appreciate variety. If you're looking for stone tiles that will diversify your home with a multitude of colors and patterns, choose quartzite. This stone has exceptional, noticeable grain. Each quartzite tile is slightly different due to the varying arrangement of grains. However, this doesn't interfere with maintaining a uniform style. The tiles naturally complement each other.

Indoor Stone Tiles — Where Can They Be Used?

Natural stone tiles can be used in various places. Not only on floors, but also on walls, kitchen countertops, fireplace surrounds, and even as finishing elements for heated floors. They look perfect in every place. You can cover entire floors and walls with them or just add stone accents, for example, on windowsills or around mirrors. This certainly completes the uniqueness of the interior.

Stone Tiles for Walls

We offer wall tiles in various versions. Smaller or larger, rectangular or square. Which stone is best for walls? In fact, any stone works, so it's up to your personal preferences to decide which one to choose. However, if you want not only a beautiful interior but also the highest functionality, it’s worth considering the porosity of the stone when making your decision. The more porous the stone, the better its insulation against heat loss and better soundproofing. In this case, low-porosity granite works best, while travertine may not be the best choice.

Stone Floor Tiles

A major advantage of stone tiles for the floor is their indestructibility. If something falls and crashes onto the stone floor, there's no worry about damaging the tiles. An important factor when choosing a stone floor is its abrasion resistance. It’s best to opt for hard flooring, such as granite, which is the hardest and most abrasion-resistant among natural stones. Another consideration is how easy the floor is to clean. Avoid porous travertine, which easily absorbs dirt. Again, granite is the best option — less porous, easy to clean, and easy to impregnate.

Stone Tiles for the Bathroom

Stone in the bathroom looks incredibly elegant. Both delicate stone accents and an entire bathroom covered in stone will look equally chic and tasteful. In addition to being visually beautiful, stone bathrooms are much more practical and functional than ceramic tiles. Since the bathroom is prone to flooding and is very humid, when designing the interior, always choose polished stone tiles. This ensures that water and dirt do not penetrate the stone, guaranteeing maximum durability of the tiles. Polished stone tiles retain their properties and become a true decoration of the interior.

Stone Tiles for the Kitchen

For the kitchen, it’s best to choose stone tiles that are resistant to stains and easy to clean. Granite is perfect for this — easy to maintain, resistant to cracks and discoloration. Marble, while aesthetically pleasing, is more sensitive to grease and acids. It requires more careful maintenance and immediate cleaning of stains. Therefore, it may not be the best choice if you cook frequently. Additionally, if you want your kitchen to look unique, you can use stone to cover your kitchen countertops.

Stone Tiles for the Living Room

Does a lot go on in your living room? Do you have kids or a dog? Choose the most practical granite. If you like luxurious interiors, marble works perfectly. Once associated only with palaces, it can now be on your floor! However, remember that it requires more care than granite. Maybe you’ll choose travertine stone tiles for your living room floor? It must be said that travertine gives the interior an elegant feel due to its light shades. It also makes rooms appear larger. However, it’s the hardest to maintain. It easily traps dirt and requires regular sealing. Additionally, if you have a fireplace, consider a granite surround. This will provide excellent heat retention and an additional decorative element — the cherry on top of your interior.

Outdoor Stone Tiles — Where Can They Be Used?

In theory, any natural stone is suitable for outdoor use, but in practice, this is slightly different. To avoid worries, choose stones for building facades that will not be damaged by rain or extreme temperatures. These include granite and slate. However, if you still choose marble or travertine, you must expect extra work in cleaning them. Since they are highly porous stones, they get dirty quickly and require constant maintenance.

Stone Tiles for the Garden

If you're looking for outdoor stone tiles, you must remember one basic rule — outdoor garden stone tiles must be non-slip. The hardest of all natural stones, granite, is a favorite. Thanks to a special process of fire-treating the stone, it gains a rough texture. This process makes granite garden stone tiles safe to walk on, even in the rain. Slate is also a good choice for the garden. It’s a sedimentary stone, somewhat softer than granite, but just as durable. It’s naturally cleaved stone, so even if you damage the top layer with something heavy, you’ll only contribute to the natural cleaving process.
