If you’re like a lot of people, you see vinyl flooring as the “economy” option. Perhaps you associate it with your grandma’s kitchen dining room, or with your neighbor’s always-muddy entryway. Certainly, you might think, vinyl floors are far from the picture of class and luxury of wood floors. Why on Earth would you want it in your home, let alone freely choose it over other floorings?

You want new flooring. Your home is ready for an upgrade. Perhaps your old flooring has stains in it, or perhaps you’re dealing with water damage. Maybe you just seek a change or flooring that fits your lifestyle better. On the other hand, though, you’re also eco-conscious. You respect the planet and all its inhabitants and have adopted a waste-not-want-not mentality when it comes to home improvements. When you do renovations, it’s with a scrupulous effort to use the least amount of natural resources possible.

The English language contains many negative phrases about stone. Somebody’s heart can be “cold as stone,” and “a rolling stone gathers no moss,” for example. But when it comes to flooring, stone really rocks! Stone flooring stands up to spills and brute force alike, and its regal appearance lends itself to a great deal of decorational styles.
