But while home consists of what’s under your roof, don’t forget what’s under your feet. Floor coverings have a huge influence on your home and home life. They impact interior beauty, décor, comfort, livability and upkeep, thus floor coverings can make or break a home.
In this section we explain how a stone is manufactured. This information can be very advantageous because it enables you to understand stone from the beginning and evaluate its performance aspects: why certain stone floors wear better and longer.
Plus, perhaps most important, understanding how a stone floor is created can help you better determine the value of stone keep you inside the borders of your budget.
Natural stone is as old as the hills.
As we said in the Welcome to Stone section, the formative process for natural stone began long ago, deep beneath the surface of the earth.
For millions of years, a combination of heat and pressure created blocks of natural stone, including granite, marble, travertine, limestone, and slate.
As the earth’s crust began to grow and erode, it pushed minerals up from its core, forming massive rock deposits, which we refer to as “quarries”.
Quarries are the birthplace of today’s natural stone.
These quarries are found in many countries throughout the world such as: Italy, China, Spain, India, Canada, Mexico and the United States.
