Ensure to do thorough research and understand all of the material you’re planning to purchase. Check if the material will fit your requirement and unique application and be clear on maintenance requirements.
Here are some vital pointers to consider when choosing the right material:
Keep in mind that natural stones textures, markings, and colors can differ significantly. That’s why we suggest trying to see as many pieces as you can before finalizing the material.
Check a stone’s absorption rating, which means a stone’s porosity. The more it absorbs, the more vulnerable it will be to damage and stains. Granite, marble, limestone, and slate all have different porosity, and it is advisable to install, depending on need, traffic, suitability, and requirements.
Granite has very low porosity and durable, best choice to use as kitchen worktops and countertops.
Marble has higher porosity than granite and is particularly susceptible to damage from acidic substances. Marble is the preferred choice for bathrooms, and staircases, fireplace, and hearth.
Limestone has high porosity and permeability, which needs to be sealed regularly to ensure it doesn’t end up stained or damaged. Limestone tiles are often placed in the entrance and kitchen to breathe warmth, style, comfort and feel natural.
Quartz is non-porous and therefore resistant to stains. It is not heat resistant like granite, but it is relatively easy to keep the Quartz worktop well maintained and hygienic
Natural stone countertops offer a durable solution for maintaining the beauty of your kitchen or bathroom. The key to preserving their natural beauty is to seal them with sealers to ensure they are not stained or damaged over time.
If the natural stone floor is a wet area like a bathroom or high traffic areas such as a kitchen, ensure to search for the coefficient of friction. It is meant to measure how slippery the material can be if use for flooring.

Typically, natural stone worktops need a little day-to-day care. They should be pre-treated with a liquid silicone sealer which lessens its natural porosity and offers a protective coating. Moreover, it will take hours for the sealer to completely dry. So, avoid using the worktop for about 24 hours, then take care for the next few days.
Natural stones have their own beauty. As it is fabricated by mother nature, it is never perfectly consistent and uniform naturally, so take pleasure in owning exclusive Natural Stone surface that has a unique beauty with imperfections.
