Driveway Ideas
Cobblestones are one of the most popular choices for driveways. This is because of their high compressive strength, ability to withstand heavy traffic and the test of time. They have been used to pave the piazzas and streets of Europe back in the 3rd century and they still survive today.
Feature Wall Ideas
Use Wall Cladding to create a unique feature wall for your garden, eye-catching exterior entrance, resort-style addition to your pool design, or a one-of-a-kind touch to your interiors. Or select natural stone tiles to add an organic look and a visual interest with natural variation to your feature walls.
Fireplace Ideas
Using natural stone for your fireplace will provide this aspect of your home with a bespoke and organic look that connects with nature. Besides the visual benefits, natural stone can also absorb, store and radiate heat, allowing the heat from the fireplace to radiate throughout your room or alfresco area.
Pool Ideas
Natural stone pavers and pool coping can enhance your pool design, and provide functional benefits, such as a safer environment around the pool. There are a variety of natural stone products with a suitable finish that can be used outdoors and around pools, including Limestone, Travertine, Granite, Sandstone, or porcelain.
Kitchen Ideas
The kitchen is one of the spaces where selecting natural stone is a common choice that can elevate your design and add a touch of exclusivity to the room. While natural stone is often used for benchtops, you can also install stone on the floors or as a feature wall in your kitchen.
Commercial Projects
Working in direct partnership with architects, interior designers, landscape architects and builders on commercial projects, we supply natural stone and other materials for office spaces, hospitality venues, retail spaces, schools, recreational resorts and hotels.
Bathroom Ideas
The selected tiles are the key design element of any bathroom, determining the overall look. Natural stone is a suitable product, despite the wet environment and if the product is properly sealed and maintained, it provides an everlasting look.
Indoor Living Ideas
The time when natural stone was only used for outdoor areas is long gone. Architects and designers love to use this material for all the interior spaces – including living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, laundries or bathrooms.
