Anything Stone supply a comprehensive range of stone types covering a wide range of applications both in the home and commercial buildings.Stone has traditionally been used as a building material for thousands of years thanks to its durability, strength and individual character. No two pieces of stone are exactly alike and this gives each piece of stone its own character and intrinsic beauty.Robust stones such as granite, sandstone and some more durable limestone's are often used for architectural features such as copings; core strings, lintels and grand porticos.More elegant stones such as marble, limestone and travertine are often found in bathrooms or adorning the walls and floors of impressive entrance halls in both homes and commercial buildings.Granite worktops are now more popular than ever due to their ease of maintenance, durability and stunning good looks. The worktop market has also seen the introduction of quartz work surfaces enabling customers to choose from an extensive range of previously unavailable colours. Quartz work surfaces enable designers to really express themselves and compliment today's more contemporary kitchen designs. When purchasing stone we recommend that you visit your supplier to view as large apiece as possible. Simple hand samples of stone do not give a true reflection of the overall appearance, particularly when purchasing kitchen worktops.
Granite is available in hundreds of colours and can be used in the most demanding situations both indoor and outdoor. Granite worktops and tiles compliment any décor due to the wide variety of patterns and colours available. Granite's rich colours, stiffness and density, make it an ideal choice for flooring, worktops, vanity tops and exterior applications. Many stylish patterns and colours make granite the most versatile of all stones. Impervious to heat, easy to care for, the hardest natural stone on earth.
Marble gives any installation an elegant, romantic look. Colours are virtually endless, from the purest white to coal-black, brilliant reds and vibrant greens - no two pieces are alike. Marble can be successfully used for all in-house applications such as vanity tops, fireplaces and floor/wall tiles. Marble is the favourable stone for it's beauty and unique design although more care and maintenance is required.
Limestone is ideal for today's more casual and comfortable environments. Generally used for floor tiles, fireplaces and all bathroom applications. Limestone has similar characteristics to marble in terms of its unique veining and the individual character of each stone slab. Limestone has a warmer feel than granite and marble therefore it is often the preferred choice for bathrooms.
The lively colours and unique texture make slate appropriate for interior as well as exterior applications. Slate is formed in layers and can easily be split to expose beautiful naturally textured surfaces. Slates can be used for flooring, wall coverings, fireplace hearths, roof tiles and landscaping
Sandstone is a sedimentary stone that consists of consolidated masses of sand deposited by moving water or wind held together by natural cement, such as silica. The colour of sandstone is largely determined by the cementing material - iron oxides produces red or reddish-brown sandstone, and the other materials produce sandstone with white, grey or yellow tones. Sandstone can be used for interior or exterior applications where a soft matt finish is required.
A blend of cutting edge technology with natural materials has produced the latest phenomenon in work surfaces. Quartz surfaces are a blend of typically 93% natural quartz combined with advanced polymers and pigments. The result is work surfaces that are impervious to staining, scratch and heat resistant. There are several manufacturers of quartz work surfaces and together they produce an enormous range of colours many of which cannot be found naturally. Many of these new colours compliment today's most contemporary kitchen designs beautifully.
Quartz, one of the most resistant and beautiful elements of nature, together with the creativity of Silestone, offer revolutionary collections, luxurious textures and unique product designs.Silestone worktops are the only quartz surfaces that can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria that are commonly found in even the cleanest kitchen and bathrooms. This is because all Silestone products exclusively contain Microban antibacterial protection: the antibacterial protection is added during the manufacturing process.
