Which Egyptian stone for which job

Interior floors

The beige and cream marbles are the volume interior floor. Polished is the standard interior finish; honed is matt and less slippery when wet. For a floor that has to read as one surface, ask for the tiles to be cut from the same blocks.

Bathrooms and vanity tops

For the floor, the walls and the vanity top in one stone, choose one made in tiles, slabs and cut-to-size. On a pale marble an etch mark has nothing to hide behind, so honed is the more forgiving finish for a vanity top.

Facades

Outside, the face is textured rather than polished: flamed or bush-hammered granite, or the brushed and sandblasted faces of the marbles that list facades. Send us the exposure and the fixing detail before you close the specification.

External paving, kerbs and landscaping

Paving, setts and kerbs are mostly granite work, flamed or bush-hammered for grip. Tell us the use first; for anything that takes traffic outside, granite is usually the safer choice.
