Choose flooring around the room
An entrance, bedroom and busy hospitality space place different demands on a floor. Share the room use, approximate traffic, exposure to water and project drawings. Natural light and adjoining finishes also influence how a stone looks once installed.
Marble or travertine flooring?
Marble is often selected for veining and a more continuous surface appearance. Travertine brings pores, layered movement and warmer tones. Filling, finishing and the individual batch change the result. Compare actual materials and discuss maintenance expectations before making the final choice.
Tile sizes, joints and transitions
A large format can give stone movement more space, while smaller formats may suit detailed layouts. Confirm thickness, substrate preparation, movement joints and transitions with a qualified installer. Plan door clearances, skirtings and any steps as part of the same specification.
Flooring quotations and quantities
Separate the net floor area from the cutting and selection allowance. Room shape, pattern and vein matching affect the final quantity. Check whether a quote includes delivery, cutting, sealing and installation. Keep the agreed specification and consider retaining spare tiles from the same batch.
