What are stone effect tiles?

Stone effect tiles are porcelain or ceramic tiles that mimic the organic beauty of real stone, such as travertine, slate or limestone, without the need for the expensive upkeep that comes with it. They provide all the allure of natural materials with a much more useful twist.

 

What finishes are there?

Stone effect tiles come in a range of finishes, including textured split face patterns and smooth matt finishes. Some evoke the rough beauty of slate or imitate the gentle grain of worn stone, while marble effect tiles mimic the luxurious veined look of real marble.

 

Are stone effect tiles easy to clean?

Yes; stone effect tiles are non-porous, stain-resistant and scratch-resistant, making them a breeze to keep clean. For floor tiles, a quick sweep and an occasional mop with a tile cleaner is usually all that’s needed. Plus, no sealing is required.

 

Where can stone effect tiles be placed?

Versatile and durable, stone effect floor tiles are ideal for high traffic areas like kitchens and hallways, while stone effect wall tiles can add depth and texture to bathrooms or feature walls. For a seamless look, stone effect bathroom tiles and stone effect kitchen tiles are perfect for creating a coordinated finish across both floors and walls.
