Flooring Traditions Still Continue

You can never make a bad decision when choosing a traditional stone floor. No matter which room you incorporate the timeless rocks in, your design is sure to look stunning. Opustone has the perfect traditional looks in its marble, quartzite and onyx slabs to help you find that classic look you have been yearning for.  

MARBLE
The awe of marble’s beauty and elegance has only grown since it became popular over 500 years ago. The Greeks and Romans exposed the rock to popular culture and showed the amazing ability the stone has to be part of a masterpiece.  Over five centuries later, the traditional looks of marble can still turn any home design  into a beautiful work of art. Its ability to combine durability and elegance has been unparalleled. Marble has, is and will forever remain luxurious. Our grey Breccia Capraia (pictured) is a timeless design that makes no two floors the same.  A refined look is sure to unfold once you incorporate the stone into your  home.

QUARTZITE
Quartzite is an extraordinary traditional stone because of its inimitable characteristics. In essence, it is a simple stone, but its intricate patterns and designs set it apart. It boasts crystal like qualities that radiant a sparkling, glowing look. Rated as one of the toughest stones, quartzite is sure to give you a dash of elegance in a practical, durable manner. Due to the internal making of the rock, quartzite may portray different hues and shades depending on how the light hits it. No matter if your design includes gray or pale hues, your floor will never look the same throughout the day.  Our sutura slab (pictured) is a great example of how the different hues in the stone can look flawless no matter how you decide to incorporate them.

ONYX
Onyx is a clear-cut,calciferous stone that pushes the boundary of traditional meanings. Molded by the movement of water, it mixes its own unique features with the elegant and classic look of marble. Onyx can be placed in any setting and is very translucent when held in direct sunlight. In designing with onyx, you will quickly notice that no two tiles look the same. This will naturally add a creative and different element to your look because nobody will be able to replicate it. Onyx  is the perfect stone to use as an accent  piece in any room. With its transparency, you can place it with a different colored background  to create a really dramatic effect.  Opustone’s Brown Wave Extra (picture) slab is a great example of how the seemingly-simply stone can be the loudest item in your room.
