Dolomite Tiles FAQ's

What is dolomite?

Dolomite is a natural stone known for its light colour variations, typically white to grey, with soft veining. It combines elegance and durability, making it a popular choice for various design applications.

How does dolomite compare to marble and granite?

Dolomite is harder than marble, making it more scratch-resistant, but it’s not as hard as granite. This balance of durability and sophistication makes it a versatile choice for both residential and commercial projects.

Where can dolomite tiles be used?

Dolomite tiles are ideal for:

  • Flooring: Durable enough for residential and light commercial use.
  • Wall Cladding: Adds a sleek, modern touch to interiors and exteriors.
  • Countertops: Perfect for kitchens and bathrooms due to its natural beauty.
  • Bathrooms: Works well for vanity tops, shower walls, and floors.

What finishes are available for dolomite tiles?

Dolomite tiles come in various finishes, including:

  • Polished: A high-gloss surface that highlights the stone's natural veining.
  • Honed: A smooth, matte finish for a subtle, understated look.
  • Brushed: A textured surface that gives a rustic, tactile feel.

How should I maintain and clean dolomite tiles?

  • Regular Cleaning: Use a soft cloth or sponge with water to remove dust and spills.
  • Mild Cleaning Solutions: Avoid abrasive or acidic cleaners, opting instead for pH-neutral products.
  • Immediate Attention to Spills: Clean up any spills quickly to avoid potential staining or etching.

Do dolomite tiles require sealing?

Yes, sealing is recommended to protect the surface from stains and moisture. Resealing should be done periodically, depending on the tile's exposure and usage.

Are dolomite tiles suitable for high-traffic areas?

While durable, dolomite is softer than some stones like granite. It’s suitable for moderate-traffic areas but may require additional care, such as using rugs or mats in busy spaces.

Can dolomite tiles be used outdoors?

Dolomite tiles can be used in outdoor spaces, but they are more prone to weathering and etching from environmental exposure. Sealing and regular maintenance are essential for outdoor applications.

How does dolomite react to heat?

Dolomite handles heat well, making it a great option for kitchen countertops. However, using trivets or heat-resistant mats is recommended to prevent potential damage from prolonged heat exposure.
