Stone is a popular element in bathroom design, and when it comes to your bathroom renovation planning, choosing the right type of stone is essential. If your goal is resilience and aesthetics combined, consider marble, granite and quartz. Marble is universally appealing and presents a classic sense of beauty, but it requires more effort with maintenance to avoid staining. Granite is very hard and resilient and is a wonderful choice for high traffic bathrooms. Resistant to most chips and scratches, it will serve well in an unpolished or polished version. Quartz, however, being non-porous is perfect for humid bathroom spaces. The lack of porosity also means that no mold and mildew will settle, which is a great advantage.
