Over-sized granite floor tiles in our Black & White colour
Our Black & White colour provides a striking pattern for this Muskoka Room floor. The installation involved a pattern using 3 sizes – 36″ x 36″, 36″ x 18″ and 18″ x 18″ . The stone tile is very durable, easy to lay and will provide a maintenance-free Muskoka Room floor for years to come.
The owner of this house was looking for a wow factor for the central staircase. The stairs are a pivotal part of this Muskoka lakeside cottage and so it was important to make them appealing and be a focal point.
The builder proposed using granite from Northern Rock Ltd. in Gravenhurst because of its strength and beautiful colouring. The steps are not fully supported and therefore need to have enough strength to withstand pressures applied to the top and edges.
The end result was stunning including the nosing around the staircase opening that ties it all together.
“What began as a special order from Northern Rock last year has developed into a somewhat of a trend” states Besher Zetouni, General Manager of Northern Rock in Muskoka. Once the photos got out, many of our landscapers and masons who have customers with modern cottages, as well as traditional cottages, began requesting the colour. “It is not an easy colour to source”, states Besher.
But now Northern Rock has added it to their regular stocking inventory of flagstone, steps, building stone, veneers, coping, pavers, tiles and hearth stones. It is selling fast according to Northern Rock’s manager but they are filling all orders quickly.
As can be seen in the photographs taken at this Fairy Lake cottage, it complements the modern design perfectly. The black tones blend into the cottage colours and the lighter tones provide contrast. “The homeowner couldn’t be happier” says Besher, who also encourages landscapers and masons to check out all of Northern Rock’s granite and limestone inventory including over-sized flagstone, large tiles and pavers, coping, stair treads up to 8 feet long, veneers and building stone, hearths and outdoor counters.
Northern Rock’s yard is on Highway 11 just South of Gravenhurst and Besher states that he is proud of the service they provide all customers like having orders prepared ahead of time and loading the customers very quickly. Call Besher today at 705-644-0103 or email sales @northernrock.biz
