Natural stone is ideal for a wide range of interior and exterior applications. Inside, natural stone can be used to create stunning floors, countertops, fireplaces, wall surfaces, wine cellars, and decorative features. On the exterior, natural stone is the perfect choice for outdoor fireplaces and kitchens, stone walls, patios, walkways, pool decks, chimneys, landscaping features, facades, and siding.

The aesthetic nature of natural stone makes each project unique as no two pieces of natural stone are identical. The color, veining, shading, and marking varies between pieces, giving every piece distinct character and charm. Natural stone comes in a wide variety of colors and hues, styles, patterns, and textures, creating unlimited design possibilities. Common natural stone colors include beige, gray and gold. Stone Solutions can apply a variety of finishes to natural stone. It can be polished, honed, sanblasted and tumbled.

In addition to its unparalleled beauty, natural stone is an energy efficient choice. Natural stone absorbs heat and slows down heat transfer, allowing it to hold heat and cold better, which will reduce utility costs. Natural stone also reflects heat better than other construction materials, which will keep your interior cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Another enticing aspect of natural stone is its outstanding durability. Natural stone will not fade, rot, or dent and will never require painting or staining. Simply clean it with a mild soap and water. Some applications may require periodic sealing to protect it from household chemicals and acids that may stain it.
