Stone Carpet Flooring: Slip Resistance, Durability

Great-looking homes start from the floor up!

As market leaders in resin bound driveways, and patios, Polybound are always looking for innovative ideas to help our customers achieve the perfect finishing touch that adds that ‘one-of-a-kind’ appeal to a property whether it’s inside or outside.

Stone carpets create a lustrous, seamless finish that rivals all other floor types – and is fast becoming the most desirable flooring covering in homes and commercial premises across the UK.

Read on to discover how your home or business could benefit from the elegance of a decorative natural stone carpet.

What is a stone carpet?

Stone carpets (also known as pebble carpets) are natural quartz or marble bound with high-quality resin to create a surface that adds texture, colour and sheen to the floor. Available in eighteen sophisticated shades, stone carpets are contemporary in design – and exceptionally durable for both home and commercial use.

Where can stone carpets be installed?

From your home to hotel lobbies, and orangeries to office spaces a pebble carpet can bring a chic finish to all environments.

The natural texture feels good underfoot, making them perfect for bathrooms – or anywhere you walk barefoot – while the strength and durability are perfect for environments where heavy foot traffic is unavoidable.

So, whether you’re a homeowner looking for something extra special, an interior designer who wants to ‘wow’ their client with a unique flooring surface or an architect searching for a contemporary finish to your next project – natural stone carpets can make that dream a reality.

What are the advantages of a stone carpet?

Creates a seamless flow

Pebble carpets can be installed both indoors and outdoors, allowing your living space to flow seamlessly from the conservatory to the patio. It’s a visually stunning way to connect two spaces – and when teamed with bi-fold doors helps to create an illusion of larger, brighter living areas.

Noise reduction

Despite the name ‘stone carpets’ the surface actually helps to deaden footsteps and noise – which means a quieter, more relaxing home – even when the children and pets are running around!

Easy to maintain

If you want to achieve effortless elegance throughout your home, then a natural stone carpet provides all the luxuries with no maintenance hassles. You can forget about intensive cleaning and scrubbing – as cleaning stone carpets is a breeze.  Plus, as stone carpets are non-porous, they will not trap dust or pet hairs – which is great news for people with allergies.

Increase your property value

Not only is a stone carpet a solid investment for your home today, but the iconic look of this timeless flooring surface can also add value to your home when the time comes to move home.

Excellent slip-resistance

Tiles and wooden flooring can look amazing in the home, but both surfaces can become very slippery – especially after cleaning or buffing them. Sadly, in the UK there are approximately 6,000 deaths* every year because of falls at home.

Stone carpets have a naturally textured finish, which makes them slip-resistant, even in frequently damp areas such as cloakrooms or bathrooms, making them a safer alternative for a family home.

They can also be used in environments where vulnerable people are present, such as residential care homes and hospitals to help protect against injury.

Natural elegance and luxurious aesthetic

Stone carpets are used to create unique, beautiful custom floors. And with a wide range of colours and textures to choose from, you can create a truly bespoke look that can’t be replicated.

If you’re looking for a surface to enhance the features already in place at your property – and be the envy of your neighbours – then you’ll certainly want to consider installing a premium stone carpet.

Stone carpets in the workplace

Stone carpets also look fantastic in a wide range of workplaces.

Imagine the impact of a seamless stone carpet in your hotel lobby, stylish, sophisticated, and yet robustly designed to withstand heavy foot traffic and the wheels of suitcases.

From busy offices to reception areas, and bathroom facilities to high-end car showrooms, all environments can be improved by the sheer lustre of a pebble carpet – and as they are so easy to clean and maintain, your janitorial staff will thank you too!
