ABOUT
NATURAL STONE
At Stone Interiors, we are experienced in working with many different
types of natural stone and can advise you on the best stone to use
for your project. We will listen to your needs, colour preferences
and applications and suggest the most appropriate stone for you. Please
see the material menu bar on the left for a range of colours and click
on the buttons below for the answers to some from frequently asked
questions.
What is Granite?
What is Limestone?
What is Marble?
What is Slate?
We take care to select the best material available at any given
time. Stone is a natural material and incredible forces are involved
in both the creation and the extraction of natural stone from mountain
ranges. Some blocks have flaws (cracks, holes, blotches, etc) that
might not be visible until they are sliced into slabs. Some marbles
are particularly fragile and have a fibre backing to help in transport
and some stones are resin-filled to give a smoother surface after
polishing reveals surface holes. Also, no two pieces are identical
- even if they come from the same block of the same quarry!
At Stone Interiors, we are committed to giving you the best service
and you are encouraged to be a part of the stone selection process.
When choosing a stone with particular swirls, colour variation or
directional veining, we recommend that you inspect the stone prior
to cutting. We are happy to e-mail you a photo of your slab if needed
or give you a sample at the time of ordering or templating.
