Marble
Marble has long been selected and valued for its beauty and strength. Carefully mined in the mountains of Canada, Italy, Germany, Spain, the United States, and other countries, marble adds an air of sophistication and elegance to any home. Unique natural color variations and ease of maintenance make marble a popular choice for countertops, floors, fireplaces, windowsills, vanities, and bathtubs. It is also fire, erosion, and stain resistant. Once only available to the wealthy, marble is now accessible to all who appreciate its ageless beauty.

Granite
Granite is quarried from the mountains of Brazil, Italy, India, the United States, and other countries around the world and continues to be one of the most popular natural stones on the market. Its durability and longevity make it ideal for kitchen countertops and other heavily used surfaces, including table tops and floors. Granite is one of the most bacteria-resistant kitchen surfaces, is heat resistant, is nearly impossible to scratch, and with proper cleaning, will not stain under normal use. Because of its exceptional strength, granite is well suited for exterior applications such as cladding, paving, and curbing.

Limestone
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of the mineral calcite. Especially popular in architecture in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many structures have been created from limestone. Due to it’s heaviness, limestone cannot be used for tall structures, however, it has been used in thin plates as a façade on some skyscrapers. It is readily available around the world, including in the United States, France, England, Sweden, Canada, and Hong Kong.  Limestone is relatively easy to cut and carve, durable, long lasting, and good for construction in humid climates.

Soapstone          
Soapstone is a metamorphic rock mainly composed of quartz and muscovite, along with other minerals. It can be made into roofing slates (shingles) because of its clevage and grain, two lines of breakability that make it possible to split into thin sheets. In the 18th and 19th centuries, slate was used for blackboards and individual writing slates. More recently, it has been used for laboratory bench tops and billiard table tops due to it’s thermal stability and chemical inertness. Slate can be found around the globe, including in the United Stated, United Kingdom, Portugal, Newfoundland, and in the Arctic.

Travertine
Travertine is a banded, compact variety of limestone formed along streams, particularly around waterfalls and hot or cold springs. Extensive deposits of travertine are found in Tivoli, Italy. The stone is characterized by the natural pitted holes and troughs in its surface. Some installers use a grout to fill these holes, whereas others leave them open. Most commonly used in tile sizes for floors, paving patios, and garden paths, travertine can be polished to a smooth, shiny finish and comes in a variety of colors. The largest building in the world constructed mainly of travertine is the Colosseum in Rome.
