Debunking the false myths of natural stone

At Sama Stones we work every day with natural stone, and we know that behind its beauty and durability there are also many misconceptions. Today we want to debunk some of the most common myths and show you why this material is still one of the best choices for your home or project.

Myth 1: 'Natural stone stains easily'

With the right treatment and a simple cleaning routine using appropriate products like ours, natural stone is perfectly resistant to daily use. Specific sealers and maintenance routines ensure that countertops, sinks, or floors stay impeccable for years.

Myth 2: 'It's more expensive than artificial stone'

The reality: There are natural stones for every budget. From exotic stones to more affordable options like marble, granite, or limestone, all without giving up the latest trends. The important thing is to choose wisely, and their durability makes up for the initial investment, making it always a safe investment since it increases the property’s value. On the other hand, among artificial options, some can even be more expensive than their natural counterparts, since their costs are higher due to attempting to mimic the characteristics of natural stone, albeit with compounds that are far from being friendly to health and nature. And what sense does it make to buy an imitation for your home, sometimes paying even more, whose components we can never truly know how harmful they are to our health. Always remember, that only the natural is natural, and everything else, whatever it may be called, is not.

Myth 3: 'It's outdated'

The reality: Natural stone is more fashionable than ever. The most valued international and national architects, interior designers, and designers always choose it for its character, texture, and ability to integrate into contemporary, minimalist, or rustic styles. It is a material that never loses relevance.Each piece is unique and unrepeatable, as if it were a Picasso; natural stone is art, timeless and durable. Ancient civilizations left their mark on it, and even today, it endures through time.

Myth 4: 'There is little variety'

The reality: The variety is endless. In every country in the world, we find stones of different colors and characteristics. In our showroom, you can find a wide variety and examples of the most valued and appreciated international and national stones. Each one has its own personality, characteristics, colors, and applications. Visit us and schedule a personalized mentorship with our experts.
