Frequently asked questions about natural stone countertops
Is natural stone suitable for underfloor heating?
Yes, natural stone conducts heat exceptionally well and therefore works perfectly in combination with underfloor heating.
Which natural stone is the most low-maintenance?
Granite and quartzite are the most scratch- and stain-resistant. Marble and bluestone are more sensitive, but with impregnation and proper maintenance these types will also remain beautiful.
Can you also use natural stone outdoors?
Yes, natural stone is very suitable for patios, garden paths, and verandas. Slate, bluestone, and flamed granite in particular are popular because of their anti-slip finish.
How do I maintain a natural stone floor?
Use a mild cleaner and avoid aggressive acids. Periodic impregnation protects the floor against stains and moisture. Also watch out for sand. Sand acts like sandpaper and can cause scratches and dull spots on a natural stone floor.
