Veneer Flooring

The same properties that make marble ideally suited for durable, beautiful countertops, also apply to flooring. Historically, there have been two primary drawbacks to marble tiles. First, it simply costs a lot of money to cover the typical square footage of a kitchen, bathroom, foyer, stairs, etc. Second, for large-scale projects such as high-rise buildings, the added weight of natural stone flooring adds significant engineering loads to the structure, resulting in added construction costs.

Marble veneer flooring is a great solution to both of these problems. Through an innovative production process, the actual amount of natural stone is minimized so the bulk of the individual tile is composed of lighter, less-expensive composite materials.

Granite and marble tiles (non-veneer) are also available as a beautiful accent to your decor.

The result: beautiful floors that don't break the budget.
