INTERESTING STONE OPTIONS

We all know the popularity of natural stone, and granite is the homecoming queen of building materials. But, there is a host of other unique and interesting stone utilized at Bedrock and the applications can be astounding! Top designers and architects are stepping into new neighborhoods of opportunity and we would like to feature some of their favorites in this blog. Let's start with.....

SLATE

Slate is a fine grained rock that is derived from sediments of clay and salt. Slate can vary in composition and durability because the alteration of minerals can sometimes be consistent. But...this is not a bad thing. This is what makes slate unique. Yes, it is just as durable as granite and marble, but it also offers unique sophistication and style options that creative designers love. Offered in dramatic colors of red, gray, blue and green, slate is a great choice for kitchen countertops because it has low porosity so it does not require sealing. Slate countertops are also low maintenance, are impervious to stains and heat, and can be kept clean with any household cleaner and a weekly application of mineral oil.

So if you're looking for a unique, high design look for your kitchen, bath or flooring - check out slate. It has style and personality that can transform your home.
