Stone Flooring Installation
Stone flooring is another choice that is a very good one for you to make. Stone, because it is naturally forming, is incredibly durable and deals with things like water spillage, very well.

Stone Tile Stone tile is basically naturally forming stone, or manufactured stone, that has been cut and sanded in to squares, to be laid just as normal tile would. This type of tile is wonderful to use in your home because it is extremely durable, has great weight distribution and it can deal with all manner of temperatures and outside influences very well. Stone tile is laid out just like any other type of tile and, while this can take a bit of work, makes for an excellent and beautiful floor. If you want this type of floor installed, we can do it for you! Concrete Concrete floors are amazing. Concrete floors are absolutely gorgeous and can be dyes or stained to any color you would like. In addition to this, concrete can be polished and finished to give it a sheen and to help protect it. Concrete is very, very sturdy and can handle an enormous amount of weight placed on it. For this reason, concrete doesn’t often need to be repaired or take any real maintenance. Concrete is easy to lay, as it is poured in liquid form and then smoothed and leveled out to make sure that it is even. Natural Stone Natural stone flooring is exactly as it sounds. Unlike with stone tile, natural stone flooring is not stone that is cut in to manageable squares and laid out in an even pattern. With natural stone flooring, stones are taken in their naturally occurring shape and cut flat, to give an even top to. These stones are then placed, at random, in a pattern. Usually natural stone is fixed with thin set mortar and then joined together with a concrete solution. Natural stone is strong, beautiful and give a very unique look to your floors. Then downside is that these floors can be very expensive. Care and Maintenance Depending on which stone flooring type you have in your home, care and maintenance can be very easy or virtually non-existent. Because stone is naturally good at repelling water, you can usually sweet, vacuum and mop stone floors with no problem. Cleaning is really the only type of care you need to do as stone can handle a lot of weight without ever showing signs of weakening. If taken care of and sealed correctly, stone floors should last for the life of your home. If you’d like these types of floors installed, all you have to do is let us know! |
