FAQs
Is Stone Flooring Cheaper Than Wood?
Natural stone flooring tends to be the most expensive type of floor, therefore it’s usually pricier than wood flooring. However, there are many factors to consider.
Hardwood flooring is considered a premium wood floor, particularly for kitchens and living spaces, so it’s more expensive than vinyl flooring.
Luxury vinyl tile is a cheaper alternative to both wood and stone flooring. It comes in a range of natural stone colors and effects, including marble.
It’s also easy to install (with click joins) and offers more waterproofing than laminate or hardwood, making it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms.
Can You Get Laminate That Looks Like Stone?
Stone effect laminate flooring is soaring in popularity due to its sleek, natural stone look and low-ticket price. Many types of laminate, like our TORLYS range, are waterproof, making it ideal for getting the stone look in your kitchen or bathroom.
However, the best alternative to real stone floors are luxury vinyl tiles, which are affordable and convenient to fit. These imitate the look of stone tiles more effectively than laminate and come at a lower cost compared to real stone.
What are the Disadvantages of Natural Stone Tile?
Natural stone tiles are strong and highly durable. With proper fitting, they won’t experience any wear to the surface over time.
However, they can be vulnerable to cracks, chips, and even scratches. Any form of impact (like dropping a heavy item) or dragging can damage natural stone beyond repair.
Beyond resilience, stone floors can trap dirt between the raised surfaces, making it harder to clean than other types of flooring, like laminate or luxury vinyl. Natural, matt-effect tiles can also stain with severe spillages, like red wine, coffee, or lemon juice.
Additionally, stone stays cool underfoot, which can make it an unappealing choice in certain parts of the home, like bedrooms or kitchens. Hardwood, luxury vinyl, and laminate are all warmer flooring choices compared to stone tiles.
Summary
Stone-look vinyl flooring hasn’t been around forever, but it’s made a strong impact in a short space of time.
Being so durable and long-lasting, yet highly authentic-looking and graceful, homeowners are increasingly welcoming luxury vinyl tiles into their living spaces.
