Marble
Granite
Granite comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns and is much more resistant to everything than marble; once sealed, it’s impervious to most damage. Like marble, granite is spectacularly beautiful – and incredibly durable. There is a color and pattern to suit every taste.
Slate
Slate is very hard, and therefore very durable (slate roofs last practically forever.) The colors tend to be muted and conservative, which can be an advantage when you want something other than a monochrome look but don’t want splashy washes of color. It gives a subdued, earthy appearance, which works well with most colors and styles of decor.
Terrazzo
Another classic floor, terrazzo is a composite material either poured in place or precast. It consists of marble, quartz, granite, glass, or other chips, poured with a binder of either epoxy or cement and then cured, ground, and polished to a smooth surface.
