Indoor claddings
Natural stone has been used in the interior of buildings for its functionality and aesthetics from ancient times to the present day, giving the building in which it is used quality, nobility and colour.
From the point of view of functionality, its optimal ageing and its surface treatments to cover the pores when necessary, give this product a considerable advantage over other final finishes, and it is important to take this into account when choosing the materials to be used in the interior of homes.
On the aesthetic side, the wide variety of types of natural stone, shades, textures and formats, give this material a plus to be able to be combined with any other material in interiors, both natural and artificial.
Another aspect to take into account is that the evolution in the production processes of natural stone has managed to reduce the thickness of the tiles, lightening their weight, and also to create new textures, shapes and designs that were unthinkable a few years ago.
The trends in more traditional surface finishes such as polished or honed, have been replaced in many cases by more modern textures such as aged, striped, disc cut or thread cut. With the right lighting, this type of textures with relief gain liveliness and movement, which combined with other materials, gives them a more daring and daring appearance.
The great diversity of natural stones also offers many qualities to make it an accessible product for any project, whatever the budget. Thanks to the great variety, colours and textures offered by natural stone, it is once again becoming a current trend for all types of interior cladding. As we can see in the market with numerous artificial products such as ceramics, which try to match the unequalled natural characteristics of stone.
The natural stones most commonly used in interior cladding due to their versatility and colour are: Marble, limestone, granite, phyllite, slate and quartzite.
