Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is natural stone tile?
    Natural stone tile is cut directly from stone quarried around the world, spanning materials like marble, granite, and travertine, as well as limestone, slate, and quartzite. Because it is a natural material, every tile is unique, with its own variation in color, veining, and texture.
  • Does natural stone tile need to be sealed?
    Yes. Most natural stone is porous, meaning it needs sealing to resist stains and moisture. You will need to seal after installation and reseal periodically, with frequency depending on the stone type and how much traffic and moisture it sees.
  • How do you clean and maintain natural stone tile?
    Use a pH-neutral cleaner designed for stone and avoid acidic or harsh products. Vinegar, citrus, and bleach can etch or damage stone surfaces, particularly marble and limestone. Try to wipe spills quickly and reseal as recommended to your stone surfaces protected.
  • Is natural stone tile durable?
    Durability varies by stone. Granite, slate, and quartzite are among the hardest material options and hold up well under heavy use. Marble, travertine, and limestone are softer and more susceptible to scratching and etching. With proper sealing and care, all types of natural stone can last for decades.
     
  • What is the difference between natural stone and porcelain or ceramic tile?
    Natural stone is quarried directly from the earth, while porcelain and ceramic are man-made from clay. With stone, you get one-of-a-kind variation in every piece. Porcelain and ceramic, on the other hand, deliver consistency, although you can closely mimic the look of stone. While stone requires sealing and more attentive care, porcelain and ceramic tile are lower maintenance.
  • Is natural stone tile good for bathrooms and showers?
    Yes, when properly sealed to handle moisture. Natural stone in honed and tumbled finishes provide better grip underfoot than polished surfaces. Please keep in mind that you should reseal regularly, as wet areas place greater demand on natural stone surfaces over time.
  • Can natural stone tile be used outdoors?
    Yes. Slate, travertine, and granite perform well in outdoor spaces. In colder climates, you should choose a stone rated for freeze-thaw resistance. Additionally, textured finishes improve slip resistance on patios and pool decks.
  • What finishes does natural stone tile come in?
    Our natural stone tile is available in several finishes. 
    • Polished: A glossy and reflective finish that brings out natural veining. 
    • Honed: A matte finish that offers better slip resistance. 
    • Tumbled: A weathered finish that delivers a soft, rustic look. 
    • Brushed or leathered: A textured finish that provides low sheen.
  • Why does natural stone tile vary in color and pattern?
    Natural stone is a product of the earth, so no two pieces are identical. Variation in veining, color, and texture should be expected and is part of what makes stone surfaces so visually compelling. If cohesion is a concern, you should consider ordering from the same lot and dry-lay tiles before installing.
  • Is natural stone tile slippery?
    Natural stone tile with a polished finish can be slippery, especially when wet. Honed, textured, and tumbled finishes offer more grip underfoot than polished surfaces. For wet areas and outdoor applications, choose a finish with higher slip resistance.
