Natural Stone

What are the Benefits of Natural Stone?

Natural stone tile is a wonderful addition to all types of settings, both indoors and out. While there are currently many ways to enjoy synthetic stone looks, for many of us there’s nothing quite like natural stone. Natural stone allows us to create flooring compositions that are truly unique, since no two stone tiles are exactly alike. This makes for a visual depth that’s hard to precisely replicate with a manufactured product.

At Alpine Carpet One Floor & Home we have a passion for perfection and can help you find the perfect stone tile to compliment your home and décor. With a wealth of options in marble, slate, travertine, granite, and more, your new room is about to be etched in stone.

Stone tile has a longtime tradition of protecting and beautifying our spaces, but today there are more options than ever before. Far from the dull, gray flooring many of us envision, modern-day stone tile spans a wide range of colors, textures, and patterns, ranging from dramatic black and gold metallic, to subtle hints of peaches and pinks. From rustic, earth-tones sandstones, to striking white marbles, there are natural stone tile options to compliment everything from a rustic, post-and-beam kitchen, to a sweeping, grand foyer. There are high-polished stone tiles with the glossiest finishes, as well as rustic stone tile left more in its natural state.

Stone tile has many amazing benefits. Overall, all stone is extremely resistant to moisture, spills, and heavy furnishings. It holds up to hard usage and heavy foot traffic. Keep in mind, however, that different stone types boast varying levels of hardness. Granite and sandstone are among the harder and most durable stones while slate and soapstone aren’t quite so rugged.
