Natural Stone Tiles

When cleaning natural stone tile, first sweep or vacuum using a soft‑bristle attachment to remove loose dirt and grit that can scratch the tile. Mop the floor with warm water and a pH‑neutral stone cleaner, working in small sections.

Avoid harsh chemicals and acidic solutions, which can etch the stone. To prevent residue build‑up, rinse with clean water after cleaning. To prevent water spots, dry each tile with a soft towel immediately.

For stubborn stains, use a manufacturer‑recommended stone poultice, not aggressive scrubbing.

To seal natural stone, first make sure it's spotless and dry—we recommend a pH‑neutral stone cleaner so it won’t alter the stone. Allow the tile or stone to air out completely before sealing. Choose the appropriate sealer for your application (penetrating sealers for floors and counters, topical sealers for walls and decorative pieces), and test it on an inconspicuous spot to ensure it won’t change the stone’s appearance.

Using a clean, lint‑free cloth or brush, apply the sealer evenly in small sections. After the recommended dwell time (usually 5–15 minutes), wipe away any excess with a fresh cloth to avoid streaks or haze. Let the sealer cure fully—typically 24–48 hours—before use, and plan to reseal high‑traffic or moisture‑prone areas every 1–2 years.

To make concrete look like natural stone, first clean the slab and fill in any missing cracks to ensure the surface is smooth and stable. Afterward, apply a micro-topping or polymer-modified overlay in a stone color of your choice. When the overlay has set enough to maintain its shape, imprint “grout” lines as well as realistic grain using a stone patterned stamp or roller.

After the overlay has set slightly, apply a layer of misted concrete stains; one in base tone and a darker accent, to simulate natural color variation and natural veining.

Finally, after the stains have cured, remove any leftover residue and seal the surface with concrete sealer because it withstands UV rays—this helps maintain color, sharp contrast and provides lasting protection.

Yes, natural stone tiles are among the best conductors of heat, greatly assisting underfloor heating systems to deliver even and efficient heating.

Natural stone refers to durable rocks—such as marble, granite, limestone and slate—that are quarried directly from the earth and fashioned into tiles, slabs or blocks for use in construction, decoration and sculpture. Extracted in their raw form from quarries or mines, these materials bring unique textures, natural color variations and long‑lasting strength to floors, walls, countertops and outdoor features.
