Add glamour and durability with stone

Using stone immediately gives a sense of quality to your home. It ages gracefully and can last for hundreds of years. Here are a few ways you can work with stone in home improvements and construction:

Garden walls
Create an English country garden look by using red brick or limestone.

Stone cladding
This can transform the outside of a house and provides a graceful finish whilst giving your home extra noise and thermal insulation.

Staircases
Stone can be beautifully smoothed and sculpted into a variety of different shapes making for a dramatic look for your staircase. And, because of its durability, if you choose the right type of stone, there's no reason not to expect a staircase that still has the wow factor after 300 years.

Granite kitchen worktops
Granite worktops are long lasting and durable and they epitomise luxury in your kitchen.

Make your bathroom feel like a spa
A stone bath adds grandeur and panache to your bathroom. The important thing to check is the weight your bathroom floor can support however as stone tubs are weighty.
