Decorative stone for the perfect style

Decorative stone brings nature into your home, commercial spaces and outdoor areas. It enhances spaces, livens them up and brings in the freshness of nature. Even a stone column, a wall clad in natural stone, a fireplace or a decorative stone facade brings dynamism to a space and its surroundings.

There are many kinds of decorative natural stone cladding, distinguished by type of stone. Travertine, limestone and marble are better suited to indoors, slate and quartzite to outdoors.

The most common decorative stones

Travertine

Travertine is a beautiful addition indoors and outdoors. It is a decorative sedimentary stone in light and dark shades. It formed through the long deposition of minerals, hence the typical small air pores in its structure.

Thanks to modern processing, we fill the pores with a filler on request. The surface looks antique and underlines the warmth of your home. Travertine copes with large temperature differences and any weather.

For a refined, glossy look, we polish it. This makes it even more resistant and easier to care for.

Limestone

Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed in clear, calm, warm and shallow seas. It is a popular building material because it is hard-wearing and resistant. It is slip-resistant and heat-resistant. It is used for road bases, buildings, paving, landscaping and for making lime.

Limestone is robust and resistant to damp climates, but sensitive to acids. Outdoors, acid rain and erosion can wear away fine details. It is used in modern and traditional architecture, in residential as well as commercial buildings.

Quartzite

Quartzite is a very strong rock. Thanks to its special beauty, fine texture, robustness and easy care, it has become an essential part of modern architecture. It comes with a naturally split surface in grey, brown, beige and green. It is mainly used for outdoor floor surfaces, facades and other walls.

Slate

A fairly affordable and beautiful solution if you are looking for natural stone for outdoors and indoors. Slate splits into layers and so has a naturally split surface.

Slate slabs are very hard-wearing, beautiful, long-lasting and slip-resistant and can be used in many places in the house: in corridors, the hallway or on stairs, but also in the courtyard, on the terrace, in the driveway or as a pool surround.

Why decorative stone?

Are you in the final phase of a renovation or new build and wondering how to bring more cosiness and nature into the house? Decorative stone is the right choice. Its texture and structure liven up the room and complement the design.

If you want your home always to look contemporary, rustic stone is the right choice. It complements and emphasises the design of buildings and looks timeless, durable and elegant.

Decorative natural stone is suitable for many surfaces. It creates warmth and gives indoor and outdoor spaces character. We fit it indoors and on columns, facades, fireplaces and walls. All it needs is a properly prepared substrate that gives a good hold.

Decorative stone is not only beautiful, but also provides thermal and sound insulation. Sound is absorbed by the structure of the stone, which reduces reverberation in the room. At the same time, the stone retains heat. It is resistant to impact and scratches.

Versatile, adaptable and easy to care for

Decorative stone can be combined endlessly and suits many styles. Its beautiful appearance and the trend towards natural, environmentally friendly and long-lasting materials make it ever more popular. It adds real value, indoors and out.

Indoors it is mostly used on walls, fireplaces and partition walls, and load-bearing and non-load-bearing columns can also be clad with it. It goes perfectly with wood, especially in warm brown-grey or beige-brown combinations. Its natural look, easy laying and resistance also make decorative stone ideal for outdoors.

It is ideal for the facade and summer kitchen, but also enhances the garden shed and bike shelter and creates a unique atmosphere outdoors. Outdoors, decorative natural stone in cooler shades of grey, white or green looks particularly good.

Decorative natural stone is also long-lasting and easy to care for. This durable material needs no special care and enhances your home, business premises or garden for many years. For cleaning, warm water or a mild cleaner and a soft cloth or soft brush are enough. The exact care depends on the type of stone.
