| Flooring Tiles |
Flooring tiles work well indoors and in sheltered exterior spaces; for outside use, dry climates and well-drained areas are preferable. |
Best for low-contact bookmatched walls where panel alignment, stable fixing and protection from impact preserve the visual pattern. |
Homes, villas, corridors, commercial interiors and sheltered exterior flooring zones. |
Moderate slip risk when polished; textured finish preferred in exposed areas. |
Sweep regularly, wash with pH-neutral cleaner and reseal periodically, especially in sheltered exterior flooring areas. |
Best for practical residential, villa and commercial flooring where durability, easy maintenance and understated natural character are valued. |
Wet polished floors, poorly drained exterior areas and spaces exposed to persistent abrasive grit. |
| Stair Treads |
Suitable indoors and sheltered outdoors; dry climates work well with textured, sealed stair treads. |
Best for practical stair treads with sound support, textured grip and routine control of sand and dust. |
Residential stairs, apartment blocks and practical covered steps |
Practical stairs need textured grip, especially where dust accumulates |
Sweep sand and dust often, wash with pH-neutral cleaner and preserve the textured grip and sealed tread surface. |
Best for practical residential stair treads where a light stone appearance and straightforward everyday use are priorities. |
Avoid for polished wet treads, heavily exposed stairs or locations where sand, dust and debris cannot be removed regularly. |
| Bathroom Vanities |
Best indoors; sheltered exterior bathroom vanities may work in warm, dry climates when protected from direct rain and intense sunlight. |
Best for vanity tops with moderate use, quick water cleanup and periodic sealing to maintain the light natural surface. |
Suitable for residential bathrooms, hotel washrooms, guest powder rooms and bright practical vanity installations. |
No direct slip concern on vanities; promptly dry water that reaches the surrounding washroom flooring. |
Use coasters, placemats and trivets, lift decorative objects instead of dragging them and clean spills immediately. |
Best for bright practical vanity tops in residential bathrooms, hotel washrooms and guest powder rooms. |
High-volume public washrooms and rough-use vanity installations |
| Wall Cladding |
Suitable indoors; covered exterior wall cladding can work in hot, dry climates with secure fixing, sealing and drainage. |
Best for wall cladding with stable substrates, secure anchoring, sealed joints and controlled drainage. |
Villa façades, hotel corridors and practical light wall cladding |
No pedestrian slip concern for vertical wall-cladding applications |
Clean with soft cloths, inspect anchors and sealed joints and keep drainage paths clear where exposed. |
Practical bright architectural wall cladding |
Avoid weak substrates, blocked drainage and exterior cladding without secure anchoring or sealed joints. |
| Kitchen Countertops |
Indoor strongly preferred; exterior kitchen countertops require full shelter from rain, direct sunlight and severe heat |
Best for kitchen countertops with strong support, sealing, trivets and rapid cleanup of acidic foods. |
Residential kitchens and practical countertop installations |
Kitchen countertop; pedestrian slip rating not applicable. |
Use cutting boards and trivets, blot acidic foods quickly and maintain stone-safe sealing. |
Everyday kitchen worktops with classic appeal |
Production kitchen counters with unrestricted chopping, acids and heat |
