Natural Stone vs. Porcelain

Whether to choose natural stone or porcelain for surface flooring has been hotly debated for many years. Both natural stone and porcelain have their legions of ardent fans – but which one is right for your own home remodeling project? Fortunately, here at Claghorn Custom Flooring, we’re experts at installing both! Here’s a closer look at how these two tiling options compare to each other.

Natural Stone Flooring

Natural stone consists of mountain born stone of various types, including granite, slate, limestone, and sandstone. It comes in a variety of designs and colors, and by its very nature, also offers a more natural, realistic feel. Its primary advantage is its beautiful, natural feel that gives an air of grandeur to your home.

Porcelain Flooring

Porcelain flooring is available in glazed, unglazed, and terra cotta options, and is made from clay or other earthen materials. Porcelain also offers many unique advantages: it is more resistant, easier to cut, less prone to stains and scratches, and much more ecologically friendly.
