Book matching is a stone processing technique where two consecutive slabs of stone are placed next to each other to create a mirror-image effect with the natural veining. This creates a dramatic and symmetrical design, often used for feature walls, large surfaces, or statement pieces like floors or countertops. Book-matched stones add a luxurious and artistic touch to interior spaces.
Marble and granite are both natural stones, but they have different properties. Marble is known for its elegant, smooth surface and distinct veining, making it popular for decorative interior features. However, it is softer and more porous than granite, requiring more maintenance. Granite is harder and more resistant to scratches, stains, and heat, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchen countertops, floors, and outdoor surfaces. Both offer unique aesthetic benefits depending on the project.
Maintenance depends on the type of stone used. Generally, it is recommended to clean stone surfaces with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals that can damage the finish. Sealing the stone periodically helps protect it from stains and moisture. For specific maintenance tips based on the stone you have selected (marble, granite, travertine, etc.), please refer to our maintenance guide or consult our team.
