The inherent uniqueness of nature’s work gives designers and architects endless possibilities to deliver luxuriousness that elevates every bathroom.
Timeless Luxury
For centuries and into today, natural stone has graced the world’s most iconic baths. From ancient Roman spas to today’s contemporary boutique hotels and into better homes, its presence signals refinement and permanence.
Spa-Like Ambiance
Stone-Hard Advantages for Showers and Baths
- Durable: Granite, quartzite, and similar stones are exceptionally robust. They resist scratches, chips, and thermal shock. Properly sealed, they withstand daily moisture and heavy use for decades.
- Moisture Resistant: Natural stone is highly resistant to water infiltration. It is ideal for wet environments like showers and bath surrounds.
- Heat Retentive: Stone’s dense mass retains thermal warmth. That’s true comfort around tubs and soaking pools and along shower walls. It is energy efficient.
- Low Maintenance: With minimal grout lines and a sealed surface, natural stone is easy to clean and maintain, and it resists mold and mildew better than tiles.
- Sustainability: Stone is a naturally eco-friendly material that emits no manmade pollutants. It is harvested and processed with modern and minimally invasive techniques. When you build with natural stone, you build with greener practices.
- Value Addition: Stone installations are proven investments that add value whether creating estate inheritance or resale value.

Common Uses in Showers and Bathtub Areas
- Full Shower Enclosures: Seamless marble or granite slabs for walls and benches create a cohesive, luxurious retreat.
- Feature Walls: Use striking stones such as bookmatched marble or textured slab as a dramatic focal point behind rain showers or freestanding tubs.
- Tub Surrounds: Clad the area around drop-in or freestanding tubs with natural stone for an unduplicated upscale look.
- Shower Floors: Blend safety with organic natural stone on your floors to place the earth beneath your client’s feet. There’s nothing like the velvety feel of stone underfoot compared to the grating rough edges of grouted tiles.
- Niches and Shelves: Integrate custom stone niches and ledges for storage can complement the overall design.
