What is the difference between marble and travertine?
Marble is often chosen for its veining and more continuous appearance. Travertine has natural pores and layered movement, with a warmer, textured character. Finish, filling and the individual stone all affect the result; compare actual pieces for your project.
Which tile sizes and finishes are available?
Sizes, thicknesses and finishes depend on the material and current availability. Send your preferred format and approximate quantity, or share a drawing so that the options can be confirmed before you finalise your layout.
Can I use natural stone outside or in a bathroom?
Suitability depends on the specific stone, surface finish and site conditions. Wet areas need suitable slip performance and installation details. Exterior work also needs the correct specification for exposure and drainage. Confirm these requirements for your chosen material before ordering.
Will every tile match the photograph?
No two pieces of natural stone are identical. Colour, veining and texture vary within a batch, and screens can change the way colours appear. Ask about current batch images and sample options, and review the range of variation before approving a selection.
How much extra stone should I order?
The allowance depends on cuts, the tile pattern, room shape and any vein matching or selection. Ask your installer to confirm quantities and a suitable waste allowance. Consider keeping a small quantity from the same batch for future repairs.
Does sealing make marble or travertine maintenance-free?
No. A suitable sealer may reduce staining, but spills still need attention and acidic substances can etch the surface. Use stone-safe cleaning products and follow the care advice for the material and sealer selected.
How do I get a quote and check delivery?
Send the material or reference image, quantity in m², preferred sizes and finish, project town and required date. Include delivery access details if relevant. Availability, lead time, delivery options and associated costs can then be confirmed in the quotation.
