What are my choices for natural stone flooring tile?

There are several options for tile that are produced from natural materials. These materials are quarried, slabbed, finished, and cut to size. Common types of stone used as flooring tile include granite, marble, limestone (including travertine), and slate. Among these types of natural stone are thousands of variations with characteristics that depend on where and when the stone was processed.

Granite

Granite is a very thick and difficult sort of igneous rock. Its distinctive appearance is due to the skewed minerals discovered inside the rock, providing unique veining and the thousands of colors available for this special rock. Granite is almost impermeable and resists scratching once it is polished. In kitchens and high-traffic fields, it is an outstanding option for flooring.

Marble

Marble is a sort of metamorphic rock with plenty of veining and a range of colors available. Marble is more porous than granite and is not suggested for flooring in the kitchen unless it is refined and then regularly sealed.
Limestone is a sort of sedimentary rock that in both light and dark colors provides an earthy appearance. The surface may be smoothly textured or polished. Limestone is less dense than granite and marble. It can be easily stained and is also prone to scratching. It is not recommended for kitchen or high-traffic flooring applications.

Travertine

Travertine is a soft, porous stone with a natural surface that has pitting or divots. A honed or polished surface can be achieved after filling the surface voids. Often described as extremely brittle and easy to damage, Travertine is not recommended for kitchen floors. Special maintenance and surface sealing is required to maintain the durability of Travertine.

Slate

Slate is a type of metamorphic rock that is extremely dense and very durable. Slate is available in darker earthy tones. The surface of slate is naturally textured unless a smooth, honed finish is achieved. Slate is an excellent choice for kitchen and high-traffic area flooring.
