Stone Tile
Every Natural Stone Tile Is a Solitary Example of Artistry
We specialize in the design, fabrication, and installation of surfaces like natural stone tile. This option is created by the earth and mined for its beauty. Allow us to help you decide if natural stone is right for your special project.
Natural stone tile is available in different materials like marble, granite, limestone, travertine, sandstone, and slate. Because stone is made from the natural processes of the earth, no two pieces of it ever look the same. Every piece possesses a single beauty that cannot be replicated, adding personality to your stone tile and guarantees a one-of-a-kind appearance.
Natural stones have a characteristic sense of movement on their surfaces, which adds an element of flow to your floors, walls, and outdoor spaces. Outdoor stone tile flooring is easy to maintain and comes in many tile options. All of these features come together to bring timelessness to your environment.
At Coffey Tile & Marble, we install stone tile or can supply them for your special project. We encourage you to set an appointment to come visit our showroom in Duvall.
Natural stone is formed over time with water, minerals, and elements like heat or pressure. Stones like travertine are created with the slow accumulation and layering of various materials. Some transform under extreme heat and pressure to become other stones, like marble. Natural stones like granite form when rock is melted by magma and reformed into stone before cooling down.
For the extraction of natural stone, there are stone quarries where giant blocks are cut using equipment like diamond-coated saws. These giant blocks can weigh as much 40,000 pounds and require heavy machinery to get them out of the quarry. The massive stone blocks are loaded onto trucks and transported to a factory.
At the factory, the blocks are cut into tile sizes to fit the shapes and dimensions that you see in the final product. There are multiple types of cuts depending on the material and end product. Each stone surface can have different finishes applied for different aesthetic effects. Because it is natural, stone can last for a lifetime when well prepared and maintained.
