Stone slab uses and applications

The most common uses of stone slabs are for the construction and design of flooring, kitchens, countertops, walkways and bathrooms. Some other construction and building uses might include wall-cladding or roofing.When using these materials, it is important to consider temperature changes and exposure to water and fire  to pick the best option for your application. Some stone slabs are honed, polished and brushed to provide utmost smoothness, and they are suitable for applications such as kitchen countertops. On the other hand, others have a textured, rough surface, which helps offer slip resistance. These kinds of slabs are ideal for wet areas, such as bathrooms, to make sure people don’t slip and fall.
