Natural stone flooring is not a new concept. Structures for pre- historic era can be found to have stone slabs laid carefully flat on the ground to provide a good stable floor. In the present scenario, stone flooring is now available in a wide variety of textures and colours, as well as power-packed with durability and suitability for different conditions. While choosing a flooring material you should consider this fact that natural stone flooring is the only material that actually gets better with time. It has the caliber to last forever. This is the reason why the floors of pre-historic buildings can still look astonishingly modern. With the passage of time, natural stones acquire its own patina adding a distinct characteristic to the flooring. They are easy to clean and depending on your choice, it is stylish and as modern looking as any other type of flooring.

Stone floors can broadly be divided into three basic types: sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic. Travertine and limestone are examples of sedimentary stone, granite is an example of igneous stone, and slate and marble are examples of metamorphic stone.

Natural stone flooring doesn't have to be rough. In fact, it doesn’t have to look like our idea of stone at all. It can readily be polished to a high shine finish, or kept matte allowing the texture to shine through. It can be of various colours like dark or even black, light coloured, or anything in between. Maintenance of natural stone floors is easy and trouble-free. It needs to be sealed to maintain its quality, but once that is done cleaning is easy. A good sealant also helps in preventing staining, it should not change the natural colour in any way, and it will help to prolong the useful life of the floor.
