How to shortlist Natural Stone Flooring
The flooring group spans marble, granite, quartzite, travertine and limestone profiles. Begin with interior or exterior exposure, pedestrian traffic, wetting, abrasion, cleaning and maintenance. Then compare material identity, visual range and finish. A directory relationship does not mean a stone or finish is universally slip-proof, freeze-thaw suitable or appropriate for every substrate and unit size.
Variation and evidence
Current lots affect tonal range, movement, pores, fill, thickness, dimensional consistency and replacement matching. Finish samples should be reviewed at a useful scale, and large floors need lot grouping and layout. Request applicable slip, abrasion, absorption or exterior evidence where the project requires it; the current public profiles contain no published testing values.
Project confirmation
Coordinate substrate construction, flatness, deflection, moisture, waterproofing where relevant, setting materials, unit dimensions, pattern, joints, movement accommodation, drainage and lippage tolerances. Define protection during construction, cleaning, sealing and spare quantities. Approval belongs to the qualified design and installation team, not the material profile or finish tag alone.
