FAQs About Natural Stone

Natural stone products are used throughout homes for various reasons. They are used for flooring and countertops, namely the bathroom and kitchen areas. Homeowners love natural stones for their beauty, but most know little about them. This leads to many people having questions that they want to be answered before purchasing natural stone for their home. Below are some of the most frequently asked questions that we get.

  • What are some of the types of natural stone tile?

    Common types of natural stone include granite, marble, slate, and quartz.

  • Where do natural stones come from?

    Natural stone products are quarried from the earth’s crust. Every piece of stone that is quarried is unique. After they are quarries, they need to be processed into various shapes, forms, and sizes.

  • How do you clean natural stone tiles?

    You can clean stone surfaces with neutral soap, mild dish soap, or stone soap with water.

  • What does COF and DCOF stand for?

    COF stands for coefficient of friction and DCOF stands for dynamic coefficient of friction. Both are measures of the anti-slip properties of stone products.

  • Is it difficult to replace broken tiles?

    No, replacing damaged tiles is simple.

  • How often should I seal my granite or marble?

    The effectiveness of sealants ranges from 6 months to a decade. We recommend that you reseal your granite or marble every 6 months to a year.
