Below are a few examples to how some of the materials used for tiles are created.

Limestone is a soft sedimentary stone and is a result of millions of years of shells and bones from sea creatures settling on the bottom of the sea. It is a very practical and durable stone that can be easily maintained, making it a very popular choice. 

Slate is formed from very fine grains shale and clay deposits, which settle in to layers under extreme temperature and pressure fluctuations. This creates the characteristic partings and grain distinctive features of slate, this is known as its natural cleft and is ideal for using in outdoors where a positive anti-slip finish is required. Slate comes in honed, tumbled or riven finishes.

Marble occurs naturally and is the result of extreme heat and pressure applied to Limestone. The distinctive crystalline structure of marble allows it to be polished to a high gloss, which creates the illusion of depth. Marbles are also available in aged and brushed categories. 

Granite is an igneous rock (formed by heat) found deep within the crust. Once quarried, cut, polished, and sealed granite is nearly impervious to scratches, heat, etching, staining, or weathering. It is truly one of Mother Nature's most versatile and beautiful creations. Most granite is quarried in Brazil & India. However, we also have access to stones from Russia, Spain, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Norway, and Finland. The majority of these Earth rocks are imported to the U.S.A. via Spain & Italy where they are cut and polished into the forms you see at your local slab yards. The most common use for granite today is in building and remodeling projects such as vanity and kitchen countertops. The look, feel, durability, and re-sale value of a granite kitchen countertop is unmatched by any other solid surface material in today's market. The care and maintenance of a granite surface includes the application of a petroleum based impregnating sealer into the stone once clean and dry. This can be done by the homeowner and should be applied on a yearly basis. However for daily cleaning, most household cleaners are fine. Granite's polish is very durable and does not fades away due to standard cleaning product's acidity levels. Granite prices depend on several aspects of the stone such as size, availability, place of origin, and demand.
