Five Different Types Of Residential Stone Flooring
Granite
Slate
Travertine
Travertine is a highly porous stone material that looks very different from marble, even though the two are closely related. Travertine has a range of “softer” colors that make it distinctive, and lacks the veining pattern common to marble. You can find travertine in shades from chocolate all the way to cream and honey. It can instantly warm a room.
Limestone
Limestone has a very wide range of warm, natural colors. You might recognize limestone as the same material used in the Great Pyramids of Egypt. It is important to make sure that you clean limestone right away in the event of any spills, since these can be absorbed in the material.
Sandstone
Sandstone is a very “even” material with patterns including a large number of sandy colors. It can include very bold colors or be subtle. Like many other forms of stone, it is extremely hard to damage, and it also happens to be hypoallergenic.
