Natural stone is always the way to go when planning a bathroom, and we have a top 3 list to help you get started on your next bathroom remodel.
Marble
The beauty and elegance of marble has been used for years in bathrooms to create gorgeous shower surrounds, walls, and floors. A metamorphic rock found in the mountainous regions of most countries of the world, the majority of marble is quarried in India, China, Italy, and Spain. It comes in a wide variety of colors, from pure white to pale pinks and blues to dramatic blacks and browns. Because of its beauty and elegance, marble is a popular choice for countertops, floors, walls, and windowsills.
Natural Quartzite
The incredible strength of quartzite makes it one of the most durable natural stones available. It is widely used in bathroom projects as it is water-resistant, can be easily cleaned from dirt, mildew, and limescale and isn’t overly slippery when wet. It has a similar appearance to marble but requires much less maintenance, which is a win for many homeowners.
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone. Quartzite can be of exceptional strength, density, and hardness. The strength, abrasion resistance, and weathering durability of this rock type expand its application possibilities to include most of the common uses for natural, dimension stone. Quartzite has many advantageous properties, but it’s gorgeous appearance, high durability and strength are most notable.
Porcelain
Porcelain is about to take over the commercial and residential design industry – and for good reason. Engineered to provide unique style and endurance for both interior and exterior applications, the technology behind porcelain slabs outperforms alternative countertop surfaces such as natural stone, engineered quartz, and laminates.
While other materials may stain, crack, or yellow, porcelain is designed to last. It is resistant to detergents, chemicals, and blemishes – even the strongest paints can be removed from its surface. Porcelain is also highly scratch and abrasion-resistant, which is ideal for high-use areas. The durable properties of this material remain unchanged even after extensive use and frequent cleaning, making it a sound, life-long investment.
Porcelain is a popular choice for bathrooms. It is dense, less porous, and durable. Porcelain is a good fit for high-moisture applications such as showers and bathtubs. And an added bonus – it’s suitable for radiant in-floor heat to keep feet toasty on chilly mornings.
