Whether it be a floor, a bench top, or even a sculpture, there is no questions that the strength, durability, and aesthetics of stone are appealing.Why Stone Floors are ImpracticalWhile stone as a floor covering is appealing, there is no doubt that in reality this idea is impractical, if not impossible. Stone tiles are heavy, and not suitable in many homes. They are also difficult to source, and expensive to buy, let alone install and maintain. Tiles leave unsightly grout marks which can affect the overall look. Cleaning stone floors can be a nightmare, and surfaces end up slippery and dangerous.Alternative Floor CoatingsA wide range of designer floor options are available which mimic the look of natural stone. They are cost effective, environmentally friendly, and very easy to live with and maintain. Depending on the look you are wanting to achieve, there are a few different flooring options.
