When it’s time to redo your bathroom, you want to move away from the dated looks of plastic curtains and fiberglass bathtubs. Although they served us well and fit our budgets, it’s time to make some upgrades to your bathroom. At Spencer Granite, we love natural stone (no surprise there), especially in bathrooms. Natural stone tiles and countertops are a perfect addition to your bathroom for a sophisticated and durable space so you can have a little spa oasis in your home.
Is it time to upgrade your bathroom? Here’s why we think you should use natural stone from top to bottom.
Elegant Aesthetic
Natural stones such as marble, granite, or slate bring timeless beauty and luxury to any space, including bathrooms. They can enhance the overall aesthetic appeal and increase the value of your home. Bathrooms don’t have to be purely utilitarian spaces, so the addition of natural stones brings some much-needed luxury.
Variety
If you want variety, natural stone is the obvious place to look. There are many natural stones that we commonly use in bathrooms, including marble, granite, and quartz. The list doesn’t end there, as slate is popular for showers because it is a naturally non-slip surface.
Durability and Longevity
Natural stones are incredibly durable and can withstand daily wear and tear in a bathroom setting. When properly sealed and maintained, they are resistant to scratches, stains, and moisture, making them suitable for wet environments. While certain natural stones require regular sealing to maintain their resistance to moisture and stains, they are relatively easy to clean with mild soap and water. In fact, avoiding harsh chemicals ensures longevity.
Additionally, stone surfaces are naturally cool to the touch and can withstand high temperatures, which is advantageous in bathrooms where we use hot styling tools and take long hot showers. Long story short, properly cared for, natural stone can last a lifetime, making it a worthwhile investment for your home.
