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.

Utah has two dissimilar regions sharply divided by the Wasatch Range (part of the Rocky Mts.), which runs generally south from the Idaho border. To the east of the Wasatch rise high mountains and irregular plateaus; along its western foothills lie the major cities of Utah, while farther west is the Great Basin. In the northeast the snowcapped Uinta Mts. reach the state's highest elevation in Kings Peak (13,528 ft/4,123 m). The dissected Colorado Plateau stretches southward, rugged and largely uninhabitable except in isolated river valleys. Deep, tortuous canyons cut by the Colorado River and its tributaries impede travel but create vistas of remarkable grandeur.
