Natural Stone Collection
A foundation with natural character.
A natural stone floor sets the tone for the whole interior. Material selection, layout and the transitions to other rooms deserve to be considered together.
Start with the complete floor plan
A room-by-room schedule helps identify entrances, passages, bathrooms and larger living areas. Decide where the same stone continues and where another material begins. Thresholds, floor levels and the direction of the tile pattern can make these transitions feel deliberate.
Size and layout affect the impression
Tile proportions, joint positions and the balance of cuts at the edges influence the finished room. Review the chosen material as a larger arrangement when possible. Avoid assuming that every tile in a natural stone batch will have the same colour and movement.
Check the substrate and environment
The installer needs to understand the existing floor condition and any areas exposed to water. Preparation, moisture conditions, movement joints and wet-area systems are project-specific technical matters. Ask which preparation work is included in the quotation and which belongs to the building contractor.
Calculate quantities from the design
Measured areas are the starting point. Tile size, pattern, room shape and selection requirements influence the cutting allowance. A detailed quantity schedule should distinguish the net area from the agreed allowance and any separate skirtings or threshold pieces.
A few useful questions
How much extra stone should I order?
The allowance depends on the actual layout, tile size, room shape and selection requirements. Have the quantity checked for your project.
Can the floor and kitchen cabinetry be coordinated?
Yes. Compare the stone and timber samples together, and discuss the intended floor levels and junctions before installation.
