Interior Wall Cladding – A Natural Stone for Unique Style

The other day I had a homeowner reach out to me asking for consulting services. He had hired a contractor for interior design for his home restoration task.  And the homeowner was obviously getting tired of spending money on frequent restoration with ceramic tiles on walls and floors across all areas of the house. Now, the homeowner was not in favor of ceramic tiles again. The contractor was also not coming up with a feasible idea within the budget. So, I inquired about how much his budget was. Upon his reply, I realized that the budget was sufficient to install natural stone slabs, but the contractor was not keen to install the same due to his margin constraints. To solve the issue, I suggested to him natural stones for interior wall cladding and stone slabs for flooring. I asked him to visit the World of Stones USA website for understanding the benefits of using natural stones for wall cladding.  Some questions might spring into your mind. What is the stone wall claddin...

Benefits of Using Tumbled Pavers

Recently, property owners in the USA have followed a welcome trend in using natural stones. They prefer a more rustic finishing touch on outdoor paving and walling. Their innate desire is to have a look that exhibits stones that have gracefully survived decades for decades. For recently commenced projects for façade, patio, driveway, walkway, garden stepping stone paths, and pool decks, it is only possible with tumbled pavers to gain time-worn effects even for fresh installations. Before doing any praise for tumbled pavers , let me say first that what tumbled stone pavers are. What Is Tumbled Stone Paver? Tumbled stone pavers are passing through an additional step during the paver finishing process. The word "Tumble" is derived from the "Huge Drum," which we use in mixing cement, sand, and concrete mixture in the construction industry. In the tumbling process, standard stone pavers filled in a rubber-coated metal or plastic barrel along with abrasive grit and w...

Benefits of Having Permanent Natural Stone Fire Pit at Your Home

Outdoor living is tempting. If chilly weather compels you to leave it, warmth from a fire pit may help you resist that nasty climate. Wikipedia has described Fire Pit as a feature because nomads in the ancient era dug it on a site and destroyed it before moving somewhere else. Today, things are different. We are not living like nomads. We have permanent homes. Of course, we have options to invest in a temporary fire pit or the permanent one on our outskirts of home. Investment in both options are almost equal, but the decision may depend on your circumstance. Suppose your circumstances are favoring the installation of a permanent fire pit. In that case, my advocacy will remain in favor of natural stone fire pits. I have illustrated the advantages of a natural stone fireplace in detail in my previously written blog.  So, no need to repeat those all again here. Instead, I would like to make arguments favoring a permanent natural stone fire pit in your outdoor areas. Most likely,...
