Information
Choosing TilesAt Roman-stone we offer a premium range of natural stone tiles suitable for a variety of stone tile projects from small mosaics to large flagstone type floors. It is essential that you choose the right type of stone tiles for your purpose hence we have devised a list of points to consider when choosing stone tiles. Of course if you would like professional advice you are welcome to pop into our showroom to talk to one of our specialist stone tile advisors.
The Application: The versatile nature of stone makes it suitable for almost any surface. Make sure that the type of stone tiles chosen suit the style of the property and work well with colour schemes and furniture.
Walls or Floors: Stone tiles come in various gauges. For floors, stone tiles of any thickness are suitable, if it’s a new floor the thickness of the stone tile can be allowed for at design stage. For walls, only stone tiles with a thickness of 10mm or 12 mm should be considered because of weight issues.
Type of Stone: We stock hard limestone tiles, Jerusalem stone tiles, travertine tiles and slate tiles in natural, tumbled, antique, honed and cleft finishes. Very soft and porous stone should be avoided especially for floors.
Stone Finish: The type of property and the interior décor should be a big deciding factor when deciding what type of stone tiles to choose. Hence tiles in a rustic or antique aged finish would be perfect for a period property like antique limestone flooring. Tumbled flagstone type tiles would be appropriate for a barn conversion. Or, if you are after a modern, contemporary style you would consider honed or polished stone tiles like our range of limestone tiles.
