Natural Stone Tile for Timeless Luxury & Design Versatility

Natural Stone tile is one of the oldest forms of building material that fits with traditional and contemporary designs in equal measure. We take sourcing natural materials very seriously - our ePresident visits quarries around the world in search for the best stone. Our expert staff is versed on scenario planning and sourcing, as fine details such as extreme temperature can affect output at the quarry. Natural stone includes but is not limited to marble, limestone, travertine, dolomite, slate, and pebbles.Some popular applications are marble floor tile, limestone floor tile, pebble shower mosaics, and outdoor stone cladding tile. For commercial projects, this often includes high-traffic areas like luxury retail floors, hotel lobbies, and corporate reception desks.

Add Lasting Beauty and Character to Your Home with Natural Stone

Natural stone tile is a direct product of nature, quarried from the earth and sliced into exquisite slabs and tiles. These tiles and slabs possess an inherent depth and character that manufactured alternatives simply cannot replicate.

Explore our collection of natural stone materials and discover how they can fit your next project, whether for a private residence, a commercial space, or your client's aesthetic vision:

  • Marble Famous for its iconic veining and classic luxury.

  • Travertine Known for its warm, earthy tones and unique pitted texture.

  • Slate Offering a rustic, cleft surface and dramatic color ranges.

  • Limestone A versatile, muted stone that fits perfectly in soft, organic designs.

  • Quartzite The perfect marriage of marble’s aesthetics and granite’s durability.

  • Granite Celebrated for its incredible hardness and crystalline beauty.

Every stone tile is unique, and the result of millenia. Every installation of Architessa natural stone tiles becomes a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. The organic variation that is core to natural stone adds a sense of movement and "artful living" to both classic estates and ultra-modern penthouses.

Thoughtfully Selected Colors, Finishes, and Formats for Every Style

We take a curated approach to stone selection, ensuring that every piece in our library meets a high standard of excellence. The color palettes available in our selection range from light, airy neutrals and creamy whites to dramatic darks and deep charmers with high-contrast veining. We also offer several finishes for natural stone tiles, that can elevate any design.

  • Polished: A high-gloss finish that reflects light and highlights the stone’s vibrant colors.

  • Honed: A smooth, matte finish that feels contemporary and provides better slip resistance.

  • Brushed/Tumbled: These finishes offer a textured, "lived-in" feel, perfect for a Mediterranean or rustic aesthetic.

Design flexibility from our collection of natural stone is further enhanced by an array of tile formats. Homeowners and designers can choose from grand, large-format slabs, classic subway tiles, or intricate mosaics for backsplashes and shower floors. These selections allow for seamless transitions from a gourmet kitchen to a spa-like bathroom, or even from a cozy indoor living area to a breathtaking outdoor patio. Specifically, large-format tiles are a favorite for commercial projects as they create a sense of scale and minimize grout lines in expansive areas like public restrooms or office hallways.

The Enduring Benefits of Natural Stone

  • Exceptional Durability: When properly cared for, stone can last for generations.

  • Resale Value: Natural stone is a high-demand feature that elevates a home’s market appeal.

  • Authenticity: The depth and texture of real stone create an atmosphere of luxury that is felt the moment one walks into a room.

Because natural stone is formed by nature, it benefits from thoughtful, routine care. Most stone surfaces are naturally porous and should be properly sealed at installation to help protect against staining. We recommend gentle, pH-neutral cleaners to preserve the stone’s finish and natural beauty over time. While stone requires a bit more attention than porcelain, many homeowners appreciate the soft patina that develops with age, an authentic character that enhances its timeless appeal.
