Natural Stone Information

"Our primary focus is continued customer satisfaction retained through our quality fabrication process and service."

    Quarried from rock beds formed over a million years, natural stone comes from all parts of the world including Italy, the U.S., Spain, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Mexico, Germany, Israel, Greece, India, Taiwan, and Turkey. All products that are made by Atlas Tile & Stone consist of any natural stone our customers desire. Please scroll down to review some of the material we work with.

Granite:                                                                                                

            Granites unique color, beauty and elegance will never be matched by any man made material. Granite is the most functional of any natural stone. Along with its aesthetic beauty, granite’s versatility has been unmatched. The qualities of its stain resistance, durability, luster and sanitary capabilities make it a unique natural product that can be found in an abundance of colors from all over the world. When it comes to counter tops, fireplaces, walls, floors and tables, granite is undoubtedly the absolute best. Like any other natural stone, granites porosity does vary and may require proper sealing with silicone based impregnators.

Marble:

             Natural marble is the most luxurious and elegant of stones because of its infinite variety of colors, asters, and veining. It is a very versatile stone, which can be used anywhere throughout a home or office setting. Marble is applicable to almost any surface. All of these traits make marble ideal for fireplace surrounds, ornamental furnishings, wall and window sills. Marble is also incomparable in the bath which includes vanities, shower walls, tub decks and flooring. Although marble surfaces reveal a high polish finish, they are not very dense and may be easily scratched. Marble is a porous stone and requires preventative sealing with silicone based impregnators.

Limestone:

               Limestone is excellent for bathrooms, fireplaces, and less traveled flooring due to its gentle tones, soft beiges and tans. These tones are perfect for today's more casual lifestyles. Limestone is also a porous stone and requires preventative sealing with silicone based impregnators. This natural stone is very durable and can perform well in high traffic areas but must be installed and maintained properly.

Travertine:

It can also be used indoors for floors, walls, and counter tops. The distinctive holes may be filled or left unfilled depending on personal preferences. Travertine is very durable but must be sealed and properly maintained.
