Here are some examples of some beautiful marble tiles.

Slate is one of the most durable and versatile materials, adding beauty to any indoor or outdoor application.  Being naturally slip resistant, slate tiles are great for areas which can get wet such as bathrooms, kitchens and outdoor patios.

Shower tiled with slate.

Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic rock, found under the earth’s surface.  Although it is found all throughout the world the majority of the slate used today comes from quarries in India, China, Brazil, Africa, The US, and parts of Europe. Unlike man-made tiles, Slate tiles have a unique quality that makes it impossible to have a floor or wall that looks the same as someone else’s.

If you have any questions on the usage, quality, availability, or cost of slate or any other natural stone, please give us a call at 877-416-1500.

How many people out there are concerned about the Earth and environment we live in?  It’s not just Al Gore who cares about having our planet inhabitable by our children’s, children’s, children… 

We also believe it is our responsibility to make sure there is a beautiful world for all to enjoy in the future.  As you will note on this blog we would like to focus on how natural stone makes an excellent “Green Building Material”.

As a natural product, Genuine Stone is inherently earth-friendly. Genuine Stone currently offers many attractive, environmentally friendly attributes, including an enduring life-cycle, durability, ease of care and maintenance, recyclability, and quarry and manufacturing best practices.

Using Genuine Stone shows that you take responsibility to care for the earth by actively striving to preserve, restore or improve the natural environment. Conserving resources, preventing pollution, and minimizing waste are some ways the stone industry is working to be ecofriendly through green building.

The only genuine stones harder than granite are diamonds, rubies, and sapphires.Therefore, choose granite when permanence, enduring color and texture, and complete freedom from deterioration and maintenance are prime requirements. Granite is highly heat, scratch and stain resistant, and is commonly used to face commercial and institutional buildings and monuments. It is unequaled as a material for fireplaces, steps, road and driveway curbing, terraces, and to pave plazas and public spaces. Granite is the traditional favorite of countertop materials for its unique colors and patterns, proven durability and lasting value.

There is a myth that granite harbors bacteria, but it continues to be approved in food and medical applications. In fact, the CDC has no records of granite harboring bacteria. Granite has performed second only to stainless steel in ability to resist bacteria. The hardest natural material available for countertops, it is composed of a variety of minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. Granite is an excellent choice not only for its beauty, but also for its durability and ease in cleaning.

Granite comes in hundreds of different colors and is quarried in such places as the United States, Canada, Brazil, China, Africa, Norway, India, Argentina, Portugal, Italy, Finland, Russia, Spain, Saudi Arabia, and more.

Granites usually have a “spattered” or “swirled” grain and can contain many colors (minerals). Interior granite applications generally have a polished finish and a “busy” look, but to keep up with current trends, more manufacturers are producing honed (smooth and unpolished) and flamed (rough textured) surfaces. Exterior applications can be polished, honed, flamed, split faced, bush hammered, or otherwise textured with one of many industry applications.

You may purchase granite in quarry rough block form by the fabricator, ready for sawing and splitting into smaller sizes, and you may also purchase it in slab and dimensional tile form with a surface finish already applied. You can use granite in almost any application. It has become ever popular in newly built tract housing and apartment or condominium complexes for interior use and overall landscaping designs.

We will be adding more instructional information to our Blog each week. So we invite you to come back and learn more about the many other stone materials available online @ www.BuyStoneNow.com and learn more about the many products and design applications Stone and Tile can offer your next project – in the future!

While selection of Natural stone is more an asthetic decision, there are certain stones, more suited than others, for certain specific applications.

In order to get a better material for a specific application, we recommend that you keep in mind the Hardness of materials comparative to each other.

The following list indicates the Hardness of materials by Product Group (the hardest being Granite). There are different hardness within the group, for materials within the category.

• GRANITE
• QUARTZITE
• QUARTZITIC SANDSTONE
• SLATE
• LIMESTONE
• MARBLE
• TRAVERTINE
