Stone Slabs

In Australia, bluestone is usually basalt and is characterised by its attractive blue-grey hue.

Natural granite is incredibly strong and has such longevity that it does not tend to depreciate over time like certain other varieties of stone slab.

Limestone is a particularly beautiful stone formed over hundreds of years by algae, shells, coral, and crystallised water.

Marble is known as a luxury stone for a reason; it’s absolutely stunning and highly valuable. Thanks to its intricate veining, marble looks particularly attractive in stone slab form.

This stone has a similar look to marble, but with higher durability. Porcelain works especially well in modern decors in Australia.

Quartz can come from all over the world and varies significantly in colour and transparency. Quartz slabs make excellent counters and tabletops.

Slate is a dense, dark grey stone. It is traditionally used for roofing due to its exceptional durability against wild weather, but in recent years it has become popular for numerous other applications of decor and construction.

Travertine is a popular stone for countertops and floors, offering a sophisticated appearance at affordable prices.

Sintered stone is a durable, man-made material created by fusing minerals under high heat and pressure to mimic the appearance of natural stone.

Each slab of natural stone is unique, allowing you to select the stone that expresses your personal aesthetic tastes. Stone slabs are low-maintenance, retain their look over time, and tend to be particularly long-lasting, significantly outperforming other materials like concrete. The use of natural stone in a property’s design or decor will almost always boost the value of that property. Natural stone slabs are sustainable and can be recycled or reused, sometimes for different projects within the same home or space.

Consider both functional and aesthetic needs when selecting a stone slab. Remember that different manufacturing processes can create smooth stone slabs or rough-cut stone slabs, and sometimes textures in between. There are a broad variety of options for how to style the edges of a stone slab, so check which options your supplier can provide for the type of stone you’re interested in. If you're using stone for indoor or outdoor flooring, consider whether you’d like it to be of a non-slip variety.
