Flooring is a highly personal choice and there are multiple materials, colors and designs from which to choose. In the hot and humid South Florida climate, individuals have additional concerns when making a flooring selection. Stone may be the ideal choice.
Stone flooring is an excellent way to help keep homes and businesses cool due to its thermal conductivity. Natural stone is dense and absorbs heat slowly. In air-conditioned structures, the stone absorbs the coolness, which aids in keeping entire homes and businesses cooler. That means savings in cooling costs. Individuals with stone floors should plan on some area rugs to make floors cozy and comfortable for children and pets.
Granite
The stone tops the list for its heat resistance, ability to disperse heat, and keep structures cool. Granite remains cool even when temperatures outdoors are soaring. It’s just one of the reasons that many homes in the southern and western portion of the U.S. were constructed of stone. Aside from its beauty, the ability to remain cool is one of the reasons that its prized for kitchen counters.
Marble
The next best option for the ability to disperse heat is marble, but it can be pricy. Marble is a porous material that requires sealing to make it resistant to stains and moisture.
Quartz
The stone is often utilized for kitchen counters, but the material’s hardness, durability and resistance to heat and stains make it a good choice for flooring.
Travertine
Resistant to heat and highly durable, travertine is commonly used in flooring and for backsplashes. It’s offered in 4 textures and finishes – brushed, honed, polished and tumbled. The stone is known for its warm colors encompassing beige to earth tones. Travertine is a natural non-slip surface and can be a more budget friendly option than others. It does require sealing to protect against cracking and staining. It can be an excellent choice for homes with children and pets.
