How to choose the material, trends and benefits<\/strong> Many customers opt for natural stone flooring because of its beauty, versatility and easy maintenance.
\nA natural stone floor can be used both outdoors and indoors, with the possibility of adapting the finish to each type of use.
\nFinishes play an important role: polished and textured finishes are the most popular and matte or matt finishes (honed and brushed) can help make the stone surface less slippery.
\nIf the client wants a high-gloss (polished) finish, this is possible, although it will require more regular maintenance and some extra care.
\nIf you keep up the necessary maintenance<\/a>, the natural beauty of a stone floor will last for a long time.  <\/p>\n

What type of material to use in each area:<\/u><\/strong><\/h5>\n

Since natural stone floors tend to be in high-traffic areas, it’s important to know which types of stone are best suited to each type of facility.  <\/p>\n

\"\"High-traffic areas<\/u> Opt for materials that are resistant, these materials perform well in high-traffic areas such as granite or Lioz and even certain varieties of marble.
\nNatural stone can be textured, the more texture it has the more it will help in high-traffic areas because it helps with slip resistance.
\nTexture can also be achieved through a finish such as honed or brushed.  <\/p>\n

\"\"Interiors<\/u> For interiors<\/u>, the materials can be more varied.
\nFrom marble, limestone or granite, quartzite, etc.
\nAlways taking into account the resistance and porosity of each material and the recommended maintenance care.   \"\"Exteriors<\/u> Marble such as Estremoz, granite or limestone such as Lioz.
\nThe most common finishes are brushed, honed or, in the case of Lioz, bush-hammered or scratched.  <\/p>\n

Plaid combination<\/strong> Many customers have in mind to lay paving with a plaid effect between black and white, from the most traditional to the most modern applications.
\nWhite and gray is also a common application.     \"\"   Larger pieces and matched stone<\/strong> Another trend is for larger pieces or pieces that take advantage of the majority of the slab.
\nIt is also part of the trend for pieces to be matched so that they have an open book effect, matching the veins to each other.    Benefits of a natural stone floor:<\/u><\/strong> – When laying natural stone tiles, you can make the most varied combinations and even mix materials; – They are easy to replace if they break due to accidents. Normally, “extra” tiles are sent to construction sites to \"\" make up for any accidents; – Natural stone floors are easy to maintain, all it takes is a little care<\/a>; – They last and last over time.
\nFor example, with a polished floor, even over the years a polishing treatment is enough to make the floor look like new; – They give rooms the sophistication and unparalleled natural beauty that natural stone offers; – Versatility: They can have anything from a rustic to a more modern look, depending on each client’s taste; – Complementing other materials in the house: A natural stonefloor<\/strong> complements other materials such as chairs, with countless possible combinations;    \"\" <\/strong>   Take some time to consider what type of flooring you’re going to use and it will benefit you in the<\/strong> long run.<\/strong> deadline.
\nInvest in a floor that will reflect your <\/strong><\/p>\n

personality and that captures your attention so that you feel that this material will complete your home.<\/strong><\/p>\n
