Limestone's wide array of shades, colours, textures and
durability make this product the best loved stone,
as it works equally well in both traditional and modern
interiors. The sheer choice of honed, polished, aged,
brushed and tumbled limestone that can be placed on
the wall or floor has added ever-expanding appeal to
this delightful product.
The chief characteristic of slate and silt stones is
the ability to split easy along parallel cleavage plains
providing a texture that complements building material
such as brick and wood. The striations and colourful
hues of this inexpensive stone make it an ideal flooring
material. The use of slate in contemporary interiors
is becoming more popular, with the added bonus of being
hardwearing.

Stonell has introduced greater variations of Travertine. We buy filled and unfilled
stone, each creating a different feel, with unfilled creating an 'aged' look
soon after initial use. Due to the way Travertine was created millions of
years ago, some small holes lying beneath the surface may appear during the
first few months of wear. These are easily filled, giving decades of hard
wear, as proven all over the world.
Marble is formed from calcium carbonate that has recrystallised through metamorphism
due to heat and pressure. Therefore, marble's crystal structure allows a high
polish to be applied, which accentuates the beautiful colours and veining for
which it is famous.
The stone is subtly aged by a tumbling action, removing the sharp edges and face
to provide a stunning soft effect. Several years of searching has enabled us
to supply beautiful tumbled stones and mosaics at fantastic prices. Quality of
finish, good packing, perfect spacing, proper netting on the back and overall
quality control are prerequisites to our purchasing and we pass all these benefits
on to our customers.
Granite and Basalt are both formed by volcanic activity and are amongst some
of the hardest natural stones available to man. Granite was formed from molten
magma deep below the earth's crust which has cooled slowly over millions of year
and solidified. Basalt is a result of molten magma erupting from volcanoes and
cooling quickly forming a solid mass filled with tiny air pockets.
Although sandstone can be used internally, it is more suited to external applications,
since it has a coarser, open grained texture. This makes it generally more abrasive
than other stones and therefore appropriate for areas requiring greater slip
resistance."
PLEASE NOTE:
Please note that as the products are natural the colour and thickness may vary.
However, any thickness variations can be accounted for when laying the tiles
on the adhesive bed. Size and thickness quoted are approximate.
Due to the nature of the product some breakage during transport is inevitable
despite our best efforts. When you order your stone allow for 3% breakages when
you calculate the quantity you require.
