Travertine

Most travertine material will have some degree of holes which are generally filled with a cementitious or epoxy filler and then honed to give it a smooth, uniform surface. The amount of “filler” will dictate the grade and value of the stone. The less filler there is, the higher the grade and cost. However, the holes don’t have to be filled. In fact, unfilled travertine is quite beautiful, creating a more rustic feel and look to the space. Unfilled travertine is also a favorite for exterior cladding on buildings. If you really want to, you can also purchase honed and polished travertine.

Travertine comes from hot spring water percolating up through underground limestone. When the water evaporates, it leaves behind layers of dissolved limestone and other minerals, giving it a banded appearance. The characteristic holes in travertine are the result of trapped gas bubbles; as the gas escapes, crystals form in cavities. Travertine is generally light-colored with beiges and tans, although there are some beautifully colored travertine boasting red, silver, amber, gold, and many other colors. These colors are caused by minerals dissolved by hot water underground.

Limestone

The muted tones of limestone are perfect for today’s more casual and comfortable lifestyles. These soft tans and beiges, which are either polished or honed, are appropriate for bathrooms, fireplaces, counters and less-traveled flooring where a more informal decor is desired.

Limestone is sedimentary rock that forms at the bottom of oceans and lakes as silt and organic matter settle to the bottom. As more and more layers build up over years, adding more and more weight, the heat and pressure cause chemical reaction to take place, hardening the sediments into solid stone.

Slate

The unique textures and vibrant colors make slates appropriate for interior as well as exterior applications. Slate is formed when layers of sediments were compressed and formed under ocean. Slate is a regionally metamorphosized, argillaceous rock, that has developed but has suffered re-crystallization, and compressed into a dense stone made up of quartz, iolite, mica and calcite. It can easily be split to expose beautifully textured surfaces because it is formed in layers,. The usual colors of slates are earthy (various shades and mixes of browns, beiges, yellows), black, dark-grays, and greenish-gray but shades of pinks, purples and copper are also found. They usually exhibit a lot of variations among the pieces quarried from the same pit. Slates, depending on their individual hardness, are used for flooring, landscaping and cladding.

Marble

Marble is formed from dolomite or limestone that has undergone enough heat and pressure to get metamorphosized into a crystalline structure. This metamorphosis takes place when the weight of overlying material, pressure from crystal collisions and heat from the earth’s core generate temperatures in excess of 1800ºF. It has an interlocking or mosaic texture composed of crystalline grain of calcite, dolomite or both. Texture of marble depends on the size, form and uniformity of grains. The chemical constituents of marble determine the color of the marble. Generally calcite and dolomite marbles are of pure white color. Variations of whiteness of pure marbles are due to the mixture of foreign substances. Such impurities form bands, streaks and clouds. Black and grayish shades are due to graphite; pinks, reds are mainly due to the presence of manganese oxides or hematite.

Hardwood

Hardwood floors are not only beautiful to live with, they’re easy to care for, and can add value to your home at resale time. The elegant look of a hardwood floor can add warmth and character to any room. If you think hardwood works, and may be the flooring for you, come discover all the other sections on this beautiful, versatile and inviting product at our showroom.

Porcelain Tile

Homeowners choose porcelain tile flooring for its highly stain and water resistant surfaces, as well as its reputation for being one of the best hypo-allergenic flooring options on the market. Porcelain tile is a unique type of ceramic tile that is stronger and more durable than most other tiles. Available in smooth, textured or polished styles, porcelain tile flooring can also add a modern and updated appearance to your home or office.

Laminate

Laminate flooring combines designs that look natural but come with a tough, durable finish and can be used in almost any area of your home. Laminate floors also can replicate the characteristics of the popular hardwood floors. It has the advantages that it is durable, as compared with carpet, and attractive, at a lower cost as compared to natural floor materials.

Vinyl

Vinyl flooring available today is incredibly pleasing to look at, with rich visual texture and depth. Additionally, cleaning is easier and more convenient as it is usually a single piece of material, so your floors look great but are still low-maintenance. With vinyl flooring in your home you can achieve the luxurious look of hardwood floors, ceramic tiles or even stone flooring, without the cost.
