There are many misconceptions that continue to thrive about natural stone flooring. People think that these floors scratch too easily, become dull after a while, and can be easily chipped. But the truth is that beauty, durability, low maintenance and eco-friendly qualities are all reasons why natural stone is the perfect material for areas with high foot traffic.

Here are some little known facts from the Natural Stone Council about natural stone floors:

• They don’t require frequent finishing like vinyl flooring
• It will not lose its surface quality as quickly as other materials
• Natural stone ages gracefully and has the ability to last for centuries when properly maintained
• The stone can easily be repurposed for other uses, cutting down on unnecessary usage of water, energy and other materials for manufacturing
• Granite, marble and slate are all forms of natural stone
