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.

Rhode Island is the smallest of the 50 states and except for New Jersey the most densely populated. The dominant physiographic feature of the state is the Narragansett basin, a shallow lowland area of Carboniferous sediments, extending into SE Massachusetts and, in Rhode Island, partly submerged as Narragansett Bay. The bay cuts inland c.30 mi (50 km) to Providence, where it receives the Blackstone River; it contains several islands, including Rhode Island (or Aquidneck), the largest (and the site of historic Newport); Conanicut Island, with the resort of Jamestown; and Prudence Island. Although more than half of Rhode Island is covered with forests, it is highly urbanized.
