5 natural stones for 5 interior spaces in your home
Natural stone can be distributed through a home according to use rather than assigning one mandatory type to each room. Options include granite, marble, quartzite, slate and limestone; examine the finish and properties of the actual product.
Kitchens and bathrooms
Review staining, cleaning compatibility and wet-surface suitability. Describing stone as natural or hard does not establish its suitability for a worktop or wet floor.
Living and sleeping spaces
Use stone cladding or surfaces according to weight, support and the intended appearance. Cladding differs from a structural element. Thin or self-adhesive panels require a compatible substrate and product-specific conditions, rather than a universal product promise.
