Natural stone types differ in both aesthetic and functional properties. In terms of visual differences, each stone type displays their own unique characteristics that separate them from the others

For example, marbles tend to have highly detailed, prominent veins as opposed to limestones, which are known for their fossil details. However, due to the expansive variety in stones, it is not unusual that some stones may share similar characteristics as others within a different stone type. Aside from visual differences, stones will vary in function as well. Certain stones are more sensitive or porous than others. For example, marbles are considered one of the most delicate stones, while granites offer significantly more durability, making them ideal for spaces that experience considerable traffic.

Due to these differences, it is important to consult an expert who can assist you with selecting the perfect material for your specifications.

Consider the stone’s durability, maintenance requirements, color, pattern, and the overall aesthetic you want to achieve. Also, think about how the space will be used, as some stones are more suitable for heavy-use areas than others.

Consult with professionals, consider your lifestyle, the intended use of the space, and personal aesthetics. Viewing and selecting slabs in person is also crucial to ensure the color, pattern, and quality meet your expectations.
