IMPORTANT TIPS FOR FIRST TIME BUYERS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When choosing natural stone we often put the aesthetics first. However, considering your needs and how the stone performs first will lead to a superior outcome. We would like to share few considerations you should keep in mind while selecting the right natural stone for your home.<\/p>\n

LOCATION AND WEATHER<\/strong><\/p>\n

Primary task while selecting natural stone for your home is where you plan to install it. We need to choose stones that responds well to the climate and context. So selecting the right stone for your walls and floors will not only help you stay comfortable, but it will also help you lower your energy costs at home.<\/p>\n

DETERMINE YOUR COLOR PALETTE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Further, determine the color palette that will suit the interior or exterior of your home. For example, darker rooms will give warm and cozy feeling, whereas lighter rooms will feel larger and cooler. And for outdoors, if area gets direct sunlight, a light range stone color is recommended as it will not generate too much glare or absorb too much heat.<\/p>\n

DETERMINE THE PATTERN & FINISH<\/strong><\/p>\n

The distinctive veining pattern contributes to the unique character of different natural stones. The naturally appearing pattern on each stone reflects enthralling effects including rustic, earthy, casual, sophisticated and warm among many others.
\nAnother great contributor to appearance is surface finish of a stone. Different stones have different finish- for example:<\/p>\n

Limestone<\/strong>\u2013 It\u2019s a soft stone but it is ideal if you want to achieve a unique look, due to the fact that it is largely made up of materials such as corals and shells. It is incredibly classic and is available in light, earthy colors.<\/p>\n

Sandstone<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s a rough, textured stone that is made up largely of grains of sand. It provides an attractive surface for flooring and it is available in many different colors and patterns.<\/p>\n

Travertine<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s just like marble but it has a textured surface rather than a highly polished one, due to the natural cavities found in the stone. Either you can choose to fill those cavities to give the travertine a polished appearance or leave it natural.<\/p>\n

COST INVOLVED<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rate varies extensively, and it is not always desirable to look for the most affordable products. Lifespan sandstone’s utility have to be taken into account. So preferring quality material that will serve you well for a long time will be cost-efficient.<\/p>\n

Finally, for all the creative people out there who are cautious about aesthetics, Stone Universe can help you find value and maximize your project\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
