Slate & Stone can deliver custom fabrication of this quartz, straight from its Slack’s Creek factory. This material can be readily shaped, curved, bull-nosed and resurfaced to suit your particular needs.
The Coconut Ice range is a good working stone, with properties similar to granite, travertine and sandstone in terms of its flexibility of application. Slate & Stone stocks several different quartz products. This is particularly the case when the material is used in and around pools, to keep it looking its best for decades. It does self-clean as well as some other high-end stones, but due to its bright surface appearance, we do recommend sealing to further reduce ongoing maintenance requirements. Its specularity refracts and reflects light from many angles, providing a stunning appearance in bright locations, whether indoors or outside.
Sandstone warms up slowly and cools down slowly, retaining heat at night, while feeling cool to the touch during the day. While sandstone does require a little more maintenance than granite, marble or travertine due to its slightly more porous structure, this porosity is one of its chief strengths. Its soft look and feel and natural insulating properties continue to make this building material a popular choice around luxury homes and for use in facades within the centre of master-planned communities, schools and university campuses.
Sandstone delivers a classical elegance that is timeless in its appeal. Sandstone Sandstone The mere name of this stone evokes images of ivy league universities, concert halls, museums and European facades.This stone varies in appearance, with its natural swirls, patterns and gradients providing visual appeal and a feel that is genuinely unique. Marble Very hard, dense and heavy, marble is the perfect product to use in luxury indoor contexts. Most variants are flame resistant, weather resistant and possess great self-cleaning properties. Exceptionally hardy and long-lasting, limestone will last for centuries in many circumstances. Certain types are better suited for use indoor, while others are more at home in the open environment. Limestone’s broad varieties ensure that different types are suitable for different applications. Its colours can range from consistent or flat, through to wild, delivering similar swirls and natural patterns to what is seen in some marbles. Effectively a transition stone between travertine and marble, limestone is slightly more porous than marble. It has been formed from travertine, or similar stones, with added heat, pressure and time working to provide its particular qualities. Closely related to both travertine and marble, limestone possesses similar qualities to each. Limestone/Marble Limestone Customers are often surprised to discover that limestone can come in a spectrum of colours and shades, ranging from white, all the way through to black, with many variants between.For a stone that looks great and that will last a lifetime, Travertine is well worth… Travertine can also always be rectified, making it a flexible stone to work with in situations where custom shaping, bull-nosing or surfacing is required. We do recommend sealing when used in or around saltwater pools, for optimal protection. Weatherproof and aesthetically pleasing, travertine can be used in bathrooms, pools, inside and outside. Like granite, this stone possesses impressive self-cleaning properties that reduce ongoing maintenance requirements. Travertine is perfect for use in a diverse range of applications, including as pavers, tiles, building material, as a cladding product and in interiors. Compare that to concrete’s practical lifespan, of about 30-60 years, and the appeal of using this material is clear. Few building materials can deliver centuries of longevity, but Travertine is one that can, in the right conditions. Incredibly long-lasting and resistant to wear-and-tear, Travertine remains today in place on structures such as Rome’s Colosseum, and the Spanish Steps. Travertine Travertine While it may seem that the present wild popularity of Travertine is a trend, the reality is that this stone has been used as a building material for thousands of years – and for good reason.
