What kind of stone should

you use for your home

improvement project?

Granite

Granite is heat-resistant

scratch-resistant

stain-resistant

It won’t blister, is simple to maintain,

and is naturally sanitary.

Each granite countertop is unique.

Marble

The beautiful veining in marble comes

from impurities in the original limestone.

It has a cool brightness that can be hard

to find in other types of stone.

It is possible to stain or scratch, but if you

take proper care of it marble will last for

years.

Onyx

Not just for jewelry, onyx creates a rare

and unique look.

It is translucent, so you can create special

lighting effects with it.

It is softer than granite or marble, but

onyx is great for kitchen backsplashes,

bathroom countertops, and other

places.

Travertine

Travertine reflects light, so it will brighten

up any room.

It comes in a huge variety of colors and

patterns.

It may need to be resealed every few

years, and it is very reactive to acids, so

keep that in mind.

Slate

Slate will withstand high-traffic usage and

constant freezing and thawing.

It is also naturally resistant to fading,

damage, and chemicals.

These properties make slate a great

option for both outdoor and indoor

applications including floors, walkways,

fireplaces, and more.

Limestone

Limestone has been one of the most

popular building materials for millennia,

both indoors and out.

It has a muted quality, which means that it

can complement many aesthetics.

Limestone is fairly fragile compared to

stones like granite, but it can also be cut

and shaped easily.

Quartz

Quartz is stain-resistant and easy to

maintain.

It is naturally scratch-resistant and non-

porous, so it is great for food

preparation.

Some suppliers use processes that make

colors possible that were never before

available in stone.

Tile

Tile can be quick to install and can be

easily replaced when you’re ready for

something new.

It can last for years with proper cleaning

and maintenance.

The extensive variety of tile materials

make them appropriate for enhancing

nearly any project.
