Natural stone is a classic and beautiful look to any area of your home. There are many different types of natural stone each with there own unique look and advantages. No piece is the exact same. They are however all heat resistant, but porous making them prone to increased bacteria if not taken care of properly. Each natural stone brings something different to the table... pun intended.
​1. Granite- Granite is the most common natural stone found in homes. It is one of the strongest and can come in virtually any color you would want. it is also available with different finishes. It can be polished up to a shine, they make it honed also leaving it smooth to the touch but also with more of a matte finish. Also available is a leathered finish, this leaves a little texture on the surface of the granite.
2. Marble- Marble has been a classic material used for all sorts of spots in any structure. It is a beautiful material but softer than granite making it easier to scratch or break. it is more ideal for an area that gets a lot of attention like a fireplace, but not a lot of hard use like a kitchen.
​3. Travertine- Travertine, like marble is a lot softer and more porous than granite but is a beautiful choice to bring the outdoors into your home.
