Flooring Materials Options ii)

Stone

Natural materials, usually granite, marble or slate.  They are very tough and durable material. May be used on a under-floor heating system. 

May not be uncomfortable and cold to stand on. Material should be sealed periodically to prevent stains. Might be slippery (marble) and dangerous to fall on. Grouts between tiles may accumulate dirt and stains. Recommended to keep a few extra stones on hand, as the stone may get chipped and require replacement. Color and pattern may differ if they come from different lots.
