velu

Hi Velu,
Kota stone is a slate stone that can be polished with wax.It is brittle.Gives you a very ethnic feel.
Mostly used in cladding,exterior pavements,parking,garden areas.Can also be used for inside flooring.
Color choice is purely person choice.I would prefer mix of brown and green in some decent patterns.

Hello Velu, Kota stone is surely a good choice. Check this wikipedia site which mentions the most popular color - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kota_Stone
Good luck

One of my friend is telling that after few years in kota stone shades will form.Is it true.Will it suit bangalore climate.He is asking us to go for vitrified..so little confused..plz clarify

Thanks
Velu

Hi velu,
Kota stone is slate stone ,in general they are soft in nature.fading of color will happen on exposure to sun light.
You find them in any office complex service stair cases.it is alternative to granite in commercial terms.
If you have budget for vitrified go for it,since the variety ,strength are advantage points

Hello All,

Most often we hear about Granite, Marble or Kota stone for flooring.

Can anyone throw some light on other alternative natural stones that can be used for flooring inside the house - which are good looking (NOT Shabad or tandur or Kadapa).
