Stone and Marble

Stone and Marble

Nothing conveys a sense of permanence and timeless elegance like natural stone. Stone gets more beautiful with age as the surface wears to a smooth patina. No two pieces of stone are ever identical, which is part of its unique and endearing charm. Stone’s natural hues and textures provide the perfect partnership with surrounding materials such as wood, steel and glass. It works in harmony with traditional and contemporary settings to create urban or rustic appeal. Stone comes in an impressive variety of types, colors, surface textures and patterns from all over the world.

Stone Cladding is a great way to decorate your home for both interior and outdoors applications. It can be used for feature walls, niches, columns, as kitchen island bench faces, as a bathroom feature, on fireplaces, around BBQ areas, on fences, in water features, on pool retaining walls & as house cladding.

Marble is a metamorphic stone formed by the re-crystallization of limestone under the intense geological pressure and heat. This process creates stone with a very tight crystalline structure and small but definite porosity. Marble can be of two types, one composed of calcite and the other of dolomite. Depending on its mineral composition it varies in colour from brilliant white through to black, and includes shades of blue-grey, red, yellow and green. Substances included in minor amounts during formation cause the veining, clouds, mottling and shadings in marble. Natural marble has a wide range of colours, texture, crystals and various finishing techniques that allow it to dress every type of ambiance. Marble is an expressive material and by its various types can make your room space look sophisticated or simple, warm or cool, elegant or rustic, sumptuous or minimalist. The eternal life of marble is disconnected from fashion and enhances the beauty of your environment in the most natural way. Marble adds a rich, elegant touch to any space. Polished marble is usually preferred for formal style interiors and honed and tumbled marble is more suitable for contemporary interiors where a softer, warmer look is desired.
