With some minor maintenance and care, it can last for as long as you will have your house.

The ancient Greeks used this amazing natural stone for monuments and the Renaissance artists used it for some of the most amazing statues that art and history has ever seen. With that kind of resume, you know it will be good for your tub and shower surrounds, fireplace, and of course, flooring.

The upfront cost might seem a bit high on this one, but once you learn about what a great natural stone slate is, you will understand how cost effective it actually can be.
