Practical Considerations

Are you aware of the practical factors to consider when choosing stone for your home? Here’s what you should keep in mind:

Slip Resistance: Especially important for outdoor and pool areas to ensure safety.

Orientation: The direction your space faces (south or north) can affect how the stone weathers and retains heat. Have you considered how your space’s orientation might impact your choice?

Porosity: How much maintenance are you prepared to handle? The stone's porosity determines how it absorbs water, affecting both maintenance and durability.

Thickness: Does the stone’s thickness match the intended use, providing the necessary durability and support?
