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.

From elevations of about 2,000 ft (610 m) on the Cumberland Plateau in the southeast, where Black Mt. (4,145 ft/1,263 m) marks the state's highest point, Kentucky slopes to elevations of less than 800 ft (244 m) along the western rim. The narrow valleys and sharp ridges of the mountain region are noted for forests of giant hardwoods and scented pine and for springtime blooms of laurel, magnolia, rhododendron, and dogwood. Unfortunately, these forests have suffered from the effects of acid rain. To the west, the plateau breaks in a series of escarpments, bordering a narrow plains region interrupted by many single conical peaks called knobs. Surrounded by the knobs region on the south, west, and east and extending as far west as Louisville is the bluegrass country, the heart and trademark of the state.
