Natural Tiles ...

Laid down over countless millennia, 'mother earth's' natural stone has an ageless appeal. Used extensively to enhance many fine and historic buildings, natural stone is justifiably enjoying a renaissance, valued for its infinitely variable style and unsurpassed practicality. Natural features in the stone mean that every floor is unique.

LIMESTONE: Limestone is formed by layers of marine organisms, deposited on the sea floor and compressed over millions of years to create a stone of intriguing texture and character.

As if this wasn’t enough to assure its popularity, limestone is also durable ,practical and highly versatile.

TRAVERTINE: Travertine is formed by water travelling though limestone and emerging at hot springs, then cooling rapidly.

The minerals it collects on its journey are captured as creamy colours, frequently complemented by tiny shell patterns.

Its use in the roman coliseum proves travertine is hard-wearing and versatile. On both walls and floors.

SLATE & QUARTZITE: Slate and quartzite are fine grained rocks formed from layers of shale and clay deposits, quartzite being subject to particularly high temperatures.

These layers can be detected in the delicate tracery of its texture and in its enchanting palette of colours.

far more than several shades of grey slate often has hints of green, russet, hazel and plum, giving it enormous potential for fascinating floors and walls both inside and out.

MARBLE: Marble is the result of extreme heat and pressure applied to limestone, capturing many beautiful colours that range from cool to rich warm.

It can be polished creating the lustrous illusion of depth that the Roman's so prized for their villas.

SANDSTONE: Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formation of coarse sand quartz and cementing materials such as clay.

Sandstones colour variations include grey, yellow, red and white.
