Natural Stone building materials work amazingly well for both commercial and residential projects. Sustainable, durable, and gorgeous materials can make any design just perfect. Granite kitchen countertops, marble flooring tile, quartz kitchen islands, and sandstone outside steps — natural stone materials can fulfill any demand when it comes to design and construction. But despite its greatness, there’re many myths around natural stone. In today’s  Xiamen Aofei Building Materials blog article, our experts will debunk some of the most spread-out myths about natural stone.

1. Natural Stone Is Not On-Trend Anymore

While it is true that there are many alternatives to natural stone nowadays, natural stone has not gone out of fashion for centuries. One reason for it is a huge range of colors, patterns, and finishes different types of natural stone have.

Natural stone can fit any style, from classy and traditional to contemporary and modern.

Gold marble flooring tiles perfectly suit this traditional royal-looking hall with baroque-style vases, sophisticated chandeliers, and creamy walls. Such combinations are perfect for expensive hotels with more conservative and traditional clients.

If you want to express your passion for a more practical and modern style of living or your company’s orientation, you should consider using minimalistic white marble flooring with gray marble metallic accents, and white marble stairs with glass. Such hall design for your business space will show the focus of the company on the future and practicality.

2. Natural Stone is Hard to Take Care of

This is a very popular myth among the general public. The intensity of stone maintenance depends on the type of stone. And while marble would require slightly more attention and some special cleaning products, granite often only requires a damp cloth and some water. If you want your natural stone products to last longer, make sure you refinish it once in a while and clean up all the spills on time. Always ask your natural stone supplier about the specifics of the building material you are buying, as the maintenance also depends on the usage and finish of the material.
