How to choose Best Natural Stone for your Home in Melbourne?
Some factors in choosing the right stone for your home
1. Color
Natural stone comes in a beautiful formation of colors. Granite and marble can range from classic blacks & whites, greens, and multi-colors. The varied appearance of natural stone gives it a wonderful personality and creates a one-of-a-kind effect anywhere it is used.
2. Finish
There is a broad range of finishes for natural stone and there are constantly new finished varieties in the market. Examples of finishes include: polished, leathered, brushed, and antiqued.
3. Usage
Granite is typically the hardest of all the stone types. If you decide to use a softer stone, you, as the homeowner, will have to use gentler cleansers and dust more frequently to prevent scratches.
4. Varieties of Natural stone for your Home
Marble - Today, Marble has come to signify luxury, refinement and good taste. As a building material it is most often used for kitchen bench-tops, vanities, as a wall covering and for floor tiles. Slightly softer than granite or quartzite, regular sealing can protect marble surfaces over the long term.
Onyx - One of the world’s most spectacular looking stones, Onyx has been used since ancient times for hard stone carving and jewellery. Onyx comes in many different hues, while frequently displaying ornate curved or parallel bands of different colors and patterns. Today,Onyx is mainly used as a bathroom surface and wall display with back lighting.
Granite - Granite is a common type of felsic intrusive igneous rock that is granular and phaneritic in texture. Granites can be predominantly white, pink, or gray in color, depending on their mineralogy
Travertine - Travertine is a form of limestone deposited by mineral springs, especially hot springs. Travertine often has a fibrous or concentric appearance and exists in white, tan, cream-colored, and even rusty varieties. Wikipedia
Quartzite - Quartzite is a hard, non-foliated metamorphic rock which was originally pure quartz sandstone. Sandstone is converted into quartzite through heating and pressure usually related to tectonic compression within orogenic belts.
Limestone - Limestone is a carbonate sedimentary rock that is often composed of the skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral, foraminifera, and molluscs. Its major materials are the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate
