stone floor

Slate or marble underfoot

A stone floor is a floor made of stone—marble, slate, flagstone, granite, or similar materials.

Stone floors are prized for durability and natural beauty, common in entryways, kitchens, and Mediterranean-style homes.

They stay cool underfoot, which can be welcome or unwelcome depending on climate: The stone floor was freezing in winter.
