Pros and Cons of Natural Materials for Your Home Remodel

Love the look of natural materials?

Don’t love the cost and maintenance?

Looking for a balance between natural beauty and convenience?

Man-made materials that mimic the look of natural elements can expand your decorating options while saving you money. On the other hand, man-made products can require a lot of energy to produce, inflating the carbon cost.

How do you decide which materials to choose for your home remodeling project?

1. Natural stones like marble, limestone, and granite need to be sealed regularly. They scratch easily because they’re a softer stone.
2. Stone tiles can be two or three times more expensive than ceramic tiles, and can cost twice as much to install, in some cases. Additionally, ceramic tiles hold up well against moisture after they’re properly grouted and sealed.
