Natural Stone Wall & Floor Tiles
Natural character, refined for everyday living. Rich textures and authentic variation bring warmth and depth to interiors, creating calm, tactile spaces that feel grounded, timeless and effortlessly connected to nature.
Outdoor Paving & Landscaping
Built for Australian outdoor living. Solid underfoot and naturally timeless, these stones anchor patios, pool surrounds and garden paths so the landscape feels intentional rather than decorated.
Alfresco Floors & Organic Layouts
Surfaces with movement and life. Natural variation softens interiors and connects them to the outdoors, while irregular formats create relaxed, architectural spaces that never feel repetitive.
Feature Walls, Facades & Fireplaces
Stone that defines the architecture, not just finishes it. Layered surfaces bring weight, shadow and rhythm across vertical planes, shifting with the light through the day. From sculpted feature walls to wrapped facades and grounded fireplace surrounds, each application feels continuous, intentional and built to last. Matching corner pieces allow for seamless detailing inside and out, creating a fully resolved architectural surface.
Get to Know the Basics
Short, plain-language explainers for the terms that matter when you're choosing stone.
Finish Types
The surface finish changes the look, feel and grip underfoot.

- Natural: the raw, as-quarried surface with the most texture and character
- Honed: smooth, flat, matte finish
- Tumbled: worn edges and texture for a rustic look
- Split: a rough, cleaved face, common for cladding and feature walls
- Textured: a deliberately grippy surface, good for wet or outdoor areas
Sealing & Maintenance
Most natural stone is porous and needs sealing to protect it.

Natural Stone FAQs
Common questions about buying, using and caring for natural stone.
-
What types of natural stone does National Tiles stock?
We stock a curated range including marble, limestone, travertine, bluestone, sandstone and slate, available as tiles, pavers and cladding in a variety of formats and finishes. -
Can natural stone be used outdoors?
Yes. Many stones in our range suit outdoor use: shop our Outdoor Stone Tiles or Stone Pavers categories for products selected for slip resistance, frost tolerance and durability in Australian conditions. -
Does natural stone need to be sealed?
Most natural stones are porous and benefit from sealing, particularly in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens. We recommend a penetrating sealer applied before grout and periodically thereafter. Check the Care & Maintenance Guide for specific sealing advice. -
How do I clean and maintain natural stone?
Use a pH-neutral stone cleaner and avoid acidic products like vinegar or citrus-based cleaners, which can etch the surface. For outdoor stone, a gentle pressure wash with clean water works well for routine maintenance. -
Is natural stone suitable for high-traffic areas?
Harder stones like bluestone, granite and travertine handle heavy foot traffic well. Softer stones such as marble and limestone are better suited to lower-traffic areas or when properly sealed and maintained. -
What is the difference between stone tiles and stone pavers?
Stone pavers are generally thicker and calibrated for outdoor ground applications, subfloor systems or areas requiring extra load-bearing capacity. Stone tiles are typically thinner and suited to indoor floors, walls and feature applications. -
Do you offer a trade discount on stone?
Yes. Tradespeople and commercial project managers can register for a trade account with National Tiles to access exclusive trade pricing across our stone range.
