Natural stone flooring is not a new idea. Buildings from pre-history can be found that have stone slabs laid carefully flat on the ground to provide a good stable floor. The principle today is little changed, though now we have a much greater choice because of commercially produced stone tiles.
Stone flooring is now available in a wide variety of textures and colours, as well as having built-in durability and suitability for different conditions. When choosing a flooring material you should consider this: natural stone flooring is the only material that actually improves over time. It will last forever. That's why the floors of pre-historic houses can still look surprisingly modern.
