FAQ
Why is stone tile a popular option in home design?
Stone tile offers a serene, coastal-inspired aesthetic that enhances both indoor and outdoor spaces. With subtle blues, grays, and natural veining, it creates an elegant yet inviting atmosphere. Made from natural or quarried materials, stone tiles are known for their durability, fade resistance, and timeless appeal, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, feature walls, and outdoor living environments.
Can I use stone tile both indoors and outdoors?
Yes. Stone tile is incredibly versatile and works beautifully in interior areas like showers, kitchen backsplashes, and floors, as well as exterior spaces such as patios, pool surrounds, and facades. Its natural strength makes it an excellent option for high-traffic, moisture-prone, and outdoor areas.
What’s the best way to clean and care for stone tile?
Stone tile is easy to maintain with a pH-neutral cleaner or mild soap and water. Avoid acidic products like vinegar or bleach, which can damage the surface. For optimal protection, seal the tile before applying grout, and reapply sealant every 1-2 years, especially in wet or outdoor settings.
Is it necessary to seal stone tile?
Yes. Sealing stone tile helps protect against stains and moisture. Use a high-quality penetrating sealer prior to grouting and reapply as needed. Regular sealing preserves the appearance and longevity of your tile - especially in high-moisture or heavily used areas.
Is stone tile slippery when wet?
Polished stone surfaces can be slick, but safer alternatives are available. For areas prone to moisture - such as showers, patios, or pool decks - opt for honed, textured, or tumbled finishes. AquaBlu offers a variety of slip-resistant stone tile options for added safety.
What edge finishes are available for stone tiles?
Stone tile is available with multiple edge styles to suit different looks: straight edges offer a modern aesthetic, eased or bullnose edges provide a smooth finish, and chiseled or tumbled edges create a more rustic, natural effect. Choose based on your design vision and functional needs.
Is stone tile safe to use around swimming pools?
Yes. Stone tile is a great option for pool decks, coping, and water features. For slip resistance, choose honed or tumbled finishes. Make sure to select frost-resistant tiles and apply a proper sealer for outdoor use. For more information, consult the TCNA website or browse AquaBlu’s collection of pool-rated stone tiles.
How do I choose the best stone tile for my space?
