Today we are witnessing the resurgence of natural stone within the home. Ceramic and laminate countertops are being replaced by granite, marble and quartz slabs. The luxury of natural stone resurfaces within our homes thanks to the ever-changing and rapidly progressing advances in technology. These advances, combined with improved methods of quarrying, extraction and fabrication, have all contributed to the cost reduction of natural stone products. Stone is not only capable of adding an aura of authenticity to your home, but also ensures unsurpassed quality and immeasurable value as well. When you consider all these qualities, plus the fact that stone becomes more beautiful with the passage of time, you begin to wonder why anyone would consider using anything else. Stone creates a solid architectural structure within the framework of the home that allows all other elements to coexist in harmony, regardless of style.
The Stone Kitchen
Due to a combination of strength and beauty, granite has become one of the most highly regarded materials for countertops. Take into account its sturdiness, broad colour range and abundant options in size and finish, and you have the perfect stone for bestowing a rich elegance in any kitchen. Whether it’s in its capacity to withstand hot pots and pans placed directly upon it’s surface or the ability to survive as a cutting board under the assault of the sharpest of knives, you’ll admire it’s durability and resilience. Feel free to make a mess, granite is forgiving. Undermounted sinks offer a high end look and ease of maintainence. These can be combined with a sunken drainboard for a sophisticated look.
Why not treat the exposed edge to a decorative profile. From a sleek, modern flat edge to a multi-dimensional decorative profile the options are endless. Choosing a countertop material that blends well with its surroundings will ensure a pleasing end result. We encourage clients to visit our stock yard and see for yourself the range of colours and surface finishes available. We are happy to guide and help you in your selection.
The Stone Floor
Stone is unrivalled in its strength, presence and aesthetic, especially when used for the floor. With simple routine care and minimal maintainence, its beauty will grow over the years. You can choose from our carefully selected limestone, travertine and marble tiles to create a timeless yet elegant floor surface. While a manmade material tends to date itself, natural stone will never go out of style.
Staircases
If you are lucky enough to own a home that features a spiralling staircase, make it memorable by encasing it in stone. Treads and risers are readily available in pre-fabricated stone slabs or they can be custom made. It will make for an outstanding focal point in your hall when you step back and admire this work of art.
