When most people think about implementing natural stone into their homes, immediately kitchen countertops come to mind. While this is obviously a legitimate consideration, in addition to how these stone surfaces began their breakthrough into the construction business and modern design trends, they have been expanding their impact ever since.
Now, not only can natural stones be used for countertops, bathrooms, and backsplashes but flooring as well. One of the best available options for mudroom flooring is a natural stone surface that provides functionality and a quality look inside any home. The mudroom or entranceway serves a quality purpose to homeowners. Allowing guests and kids to remove any dirty clothing and especially shoes, these utility rooms also often feature the laundry set up and aid in the process of keeping the main components of a home free and clear of unnecessary dirt, debris, and clutter.
Stone Options
Almost any of the same type of stone surfaces used for countertops can also be used for floor construction. Natural stone tile flooring can also be used throughout any surface of a home but choosing a specific type for the mudroom can be beneficial.
These hardened surfaces allow for easy clean up and won’t trap any loose dirt and debris that may be tracked in from outside.
Stone Characteristics
While many individuals elect to have a smooth countertop surface when incorporating natural stone into their designs, a mudroom needs to be more abrasive. Choosing a rough finish, such as
slate with a slight texture can serve to aid in the cleaning process.
Not only will the rough texture assist in removing dirt from footwear but it also provides a non-slip surface which is important for any area of the home that is going to be subject to a heavy
amount of foot traffic.
Stone Aesthetics
No matter your preferred design style, there is a natural stone surface that can be incorporated and used as a flooring component. The colors and options available to homeowners are seemingly limitless for natural stone either as a countertop, backsplash, or when used as a flooring surface.
