/ Stone families stocked

Three stone families. Different materials, different answers.

Porosity, hardness, and veining behave differently in each family. Choose by application, not by appearance alone.

Pick the right stone for the room

Marble

Granite

Limestone, Quartzite & Slate

High veining movement, moderate porosity. Requires sealing in wet rooms. Best specified where surface patina over time is acceptable.

Low porosity, high surface hardness. Stable under heavy traffic and heat. The reliable answer when movement or etching is a specification risk.

Three distinct materials often mis-grouped. Each carries different etch risk, cleft behaviour, and wet-room rating — treated separately in our specs.

• Wet rooms and traffic

Wet-room suitability, slip resistance, and sealant requirements appear at the top of each category page — not as footnotes. If a stone needs annual resealing or etches under acid, we say so before you specify.

Ratings listed upfront, not buried in the spec sheet

Sample-to-slab variance is documented per stone family so the slab arriving on site matches what you signed off on.

Inventory runs deep across all three families — enough for a single bespoke countertop or a multi-slab commercial floor. If you need to confirm stock before committing to a specification, ask.
