Frequently asked questions

The use of natural stone to furnish our homes has undergone a massive revival in recent years. Increasingly people are re-discovering its durability, versatility and inherent beauty as appreciated through the centuries. An Amarestone natural stone floor is a unique reflection of your personal style and taste as well as serving a functional purpose within your home.

Yes. We have a stone or range of stones suitable for any living space in your home. We are able to advise on the suitability of different stone choices taking into account your design requirements, budget, lifestyle and room décor.

Contrary to some popular myths, our stone tiles are generally easy to maintain. Provided they are properly sealed with the correct product during the fixing process, they will require very little maintenance. We can advise you on all aspects of sealing, cleaning and general maintenance.

Natural stone tiles from Amarestone compare very favourably in price with many stone look-a-like porcelain tiles making them a practical and affordable choice as well as being uniquely beautiful.

Although many of our stones lend themselves to being fixed by a competent DIYer, we would advise that you engage an experienced, specialist stone installer for peace of mind. In all cases there is a process to follow to achieve the best results and we will be happy to advise you. 

Amarestone natural stone tiles will pick up the ambient temperature of the room but for an extra touch of luxury, underfloor heating systems work beautifully with our stone tiles.

The fixing surface needs to be flat and solid. It is possible to lay Amarestone tiles on a wooden substrate provided it is made rigid with tilebacker boards. Flexible adhesive and grout should then be used to help absorb any movement and prevent cracking. We will be happy to advise you or your installer on any aspect of the installation process.

Yes. Many of our natural stones can be used outside for paths and patios. We have a range of French limestone that has been tested and shown to withstand frost damage in the typical UK winter climate. We can advise you on the types of stone that are most suitable for this purpose.

Our advice and quotation services are provided free of charge to all customers, both trade and private. There is no ‘hard sell’ just honest, straight forward advice and sufficient accurate information to allow you to make up your own mind.

Call 0118 391 4804 or email sales@amarestone.com to discuss your project.

I hope you found this useful and I look forward to hearing from you.
