Top 5 natural stone picks:

With the above factors in mind, below are the top five picks for natural-stone flooring.
​

• Marble - As the ruler of natural-stone flooring, marble is the best choice for homeowners who want to make a classic and elegant statement. Marble tends to be an expensive flooring material, but the appearance of polished marble floors, especially creamy variations such as Carrara, is definitely worth the investment. Homeowners who put in marble floors must be ready to maintain them, just like any other type of natural stone. Luckly, the accessibility of a stone-safe cleaner makes this an effortless task.
• Granite - This type of stone is best used for kitchen and bathroom countertops, but it is highly advised as a flooring material in living spaces where heavy foot traffic is expected. Granite is heavier and more sturdy than marble. It is also less permeable, which means it is not as susceptible to staining. While the most attractive marble colors have a tendency to be lighter, granite looks best with darker tones, specifically those that feature red and green veining.
• Sandstone - In ancient Rome builders used sandstone mainly for stylish interior wall decor. When they used it as a flooring material, it was mostly for ceremonial spaces that did not get a lot of foot traffic. Sandstone is a fragile stone that needs even more supervision and maintenance than marble. As for its appearance, sandstone is ideal for homes featuring Southwestern and Spanish Colonial styles of architecture.
• Flagstone - In the past this stone was mainly used for outdoor flooring implementation such as swimming pools, sunrooms, and garden paths. Now this rustic look has become in high demand in terms of interior style, more homeowners are selecting flagstone for kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms, and dens. One of the attractive advantages of flagstone is that it is broadly available in uneven tiles, this means it can be laid in mosaic styles to make beautiful floor surfaces. Flagstone looks best with a sharpened and unpolished appearance. It is effortless to maintain and more commonly affordable.​
• Limestone -  Egyptian pyramids used limestone to protect their spectacular structures. However, sealant technology would not be obtainable until thousands of years later, which occurred in heavy destruction and erosion. Limestone is very strong but also very permeable, which means homeowners have to be ready to regularly clean and seal their floor tiles. Some lighter varieties of limestone appear very close to marble. ​
