Best Natural Stone for Airports, Hotels & Public Spaces 

Airports, hotels and public spaces see lots of activity. Thousands of people walk through their floors each day, while luggage, cleaning equipment, moisture and outdoor dirt cause additional wear.

These are all reasons to use natural stone on many projects, but there isn’t a stone which could be considered always perfect for any job. It all depends on the intended purpose of the project.

Start With the Project, Not the Stone

An airport terminal and a luxury hotel lobby have their own needs. Just like an outdoor public plaza and an indoor restaurant.

Before selecting a stone, it is important to know:

• Level of the anticipated foot traffic
• Indoors or outdoors
• Will the floor be in contact with water
• Cleaning frequency
• Likelihood of stains or spills
• Desired finish of the surface
• Maintenance needs

With all this information at hand, the choice of natural stone will become obvious.
