While there are so many options available for flooring, nothing can take over the benefits offered by natural stones. Besides being sturdy, beautiful and long-lasting, they are also highly versatile that they can be used both outdoors and indoors. These days when energy conservation is the main goal of the most homeowners, using natural stone flooring helps reducing the cost of energy bills in your home, especially in winter.
Heat Retention:
Walking on heated floors, especially in winter, makes you feel cozy. Natural stones can be installed over radiant heating. Once it gets heated up, it can retain the heat for a long time even after the heating element has been switched off. When the hot air rises, the heated floor keeps the room warm throughout the day at a low cost. The retained heat will be released slowly, meaning that you can even walk on the floor barefoot, no matter how cold outside is. All these contribute to lower heating bills in the winter months.
Thermal Inertia:
This factor represents the capacity of the natural stone to store heat within it. A home with better thermal inertia can provide ultimate comfort for less money compared to one having low thermal inertia.
Durability:
Natural stones are incredibly durable and can withstand any harsh weather conditions. The manufactured tiles can’t withstand severe winter and would get cracked in extreme conditions. This is not going to be the case with natural stone flooring. The mineral composition of the naturally occurring material makes them resistant to intense snowfall, meaning that you will not have to replace them more often.
