Step onto any stone floor and you'll appreciate the warm and inviting tones and color. Along with wood stone is one of the worlds most versatile floor coverings. Not only do you get traditional beauty but also practical advantages, such as lasting good looks, resisting stains, easy to clean, hygienic and dust free.
Terracotta simply means 'baked clay' and it is the production process that transforms one of nature's most basic elements into a product which is rich and warm in appearance.
Found in some of the oldest mountain regions of Africa, China and India, the wide choice of slates allows any color scheme to be complemented. Its versatility and non-slip qualities enable the product to be used almost anywhere although, due to its hardwearing surface, it is particularly suitable for those areas subject to heavy traffic.
There are three categories of stone - sedimentary (limestone and sandstone), metamorphic (marble and quartzite) and igneous (granite). All impart particular characteristics to the space in which they are used.

Northern Arizona lies on the Colorado Plateau, an area of dry plains more than 4,000 ft (1,220 m) high, with deep canyons, including the famous Grand Canyon carved by the Colorado River. Along the Little Colorado River, which runs northwest through the plateau to join the Colorado, are the Painted Desert, where erosion has left colorful layers of sediment exposed, and the Petrified Forest National Park, one of the world's most extensive areas of petrified wood. South of the Grand Canyon are the San Francisco Peaks, including Humphreys Peak, the highest point (12,655 ft/3,857 m) in the state. The southern edge of the Colorado Plateau is marked by an escarpment called Mogollon Rim
