Stone Flooring

Premier Chicago Stone Installation From Top Industry Professionals


Stone flooring is a natural material that can add elegance and sophistication to your home. However, it is also tough to install correctly because of the many variables involved in laying stone floors.

When choosing a stone for your floor, knowing what you're getting into when installing the product yourself is essential. Stone floors have varying degrees of hardness that require various tools and techniques during installation. If you’re looking for professional stone floor installation in Chicago, Footprints Floors has what you need. Our expert flooring installers will also take care of prep and cleanup to provide your home with beautiful new stone floors!

What is Stone Flooring?

Stone flooring may be a good choice for those who prefer an earthy feel. One can choose from many stone flooring types, including limestone, travertine, granite, marble and slate. The characteristics of those options will vary with each choice.

Limestone


Limestone flooring is a type of stone flooring that can be found in many modern-day residences. This type of stone flooring is not only popular, but also has many benefits. Limestone floors are one of the most durable types of materials due to their tough and heavy characteristics.

Limestone floors can hold up against scratches and spills, which means they do not need to be refinished as often as other materials.

Travertine


Travertine flooring is made of limestone that has been compacted and cemented together. Travertine comes in various colors, from tan, to brown, to black, each with unique characteristics.

Travertine can be challenging to install on your own due to the weight of the stone and the fact that it may not adhere if not correctly pressed down onto a surface. Travertine flooring will have a natural feel, as all the color variations come from natural impurities in the stone's formation.

Granite


Granite is an igneous rock that has formed over millions of years by the cooling and solidifying magma below Earth's surface. It is one of the hardest natural materials known to man. Granite's physical characteristics make it preferable for flooring as it has a uniform grain and texture, making each slab naturally easy to split into slabs.

The uniformity of granite also means that there are rarely any surprises with the final product because every piece will look similar to its neighbors.

Granite flooring is resistant to heat, water, scratches and stains, making it great for kitchens and bathrooms where spills are common. It is also very durable, so the stone can be used in areas with heavy traffic such as hallways or foyers without wearing down or becoming damaged easily. The surface of granite has a low porosity which makes it resistant to dirt buildup.

Marble


Marble is a metamorphic rock of mineral aggregate, with variable hardness and a high natural polish. It can be used as a cheaper alternative to granite flooring.

Marble slabs are generally more economical than granite slabs. Although marble slabs have a glossy appearance, they may have a slight sheen or texture that makes them less desirable for high-traffic areas at first glance. Still, marble slabs offer many of the same benefits as granite slabs with less expense involved.

Slate


Slate flooring is a type of stone that is found in metamorphic rocks. Slate is mined from the earth and then worked to create versatile flooring options for different applications. Slate can be polished to have a high sheen, matte finish — or somewhere in between. There are also textured slates available for those who want a more rustic look without the additional cost of installation.

What Rooms in Your Home are Appropriate for
Stone Flooring?

Stone flooring will add an organic touch to a room and also give off a feeling of luxury and wealth. Stone floors may be ideal for living rooms, studies or dining rooms, but they can be used in foyers and hallways as well. The material is heavy and durable, suitable for any high-traffic area that may get lots of wear and tear.

How to Install
Stone Flooring

Stone floor installation should be professionally completed by a Footprints Floors specialist, as it can be difficult without the proper equipment and experience.

For the best results, the stone should be installed over plywood or concrete for stability and ease of installation. The type of adhesive used will depend on what type of stone flooring is being installed and the desired result.

Stone Flooring
Cleaning and Maintenance

Stone floors may be susceptible to scratches, chemicals and oils, which can leave residue behind, so special care must be taken when spills occur. Spills should be cleaned up quickly to avoid leaving an unsightly mark on the floor. It is recommended that professional cleaning and polishing the stone be done every six months and after any spills to keep it looking shiny and new. Stone floors can last up to 30 years before needing an update.

Stone flooring is a unique choice for those who want a strong, organic element in their home or office space. Proper installation is vital to the longevity of the product and should be performed by a professional, like those at Footprints Floors.

Used Footprint Floors to have our backsplash installed. Had a wonderful experience with Kyle and his craftsman Tomacz. They took great care and the final product turned out exactly as we would have hoped. Highly recommend.
Michael Temple 10/8/24 — google
I wanted a flooring company to install Karndean Glue-down LVP in my kitchen so I got quotes from a couple different companies. I decided to go with Footprints Floors for three reasons: the quote was lower than the other company; they got great reviews online; and Kyle, the owner, seemed extremely knowledgeable about glue-down LVP installations. It also helped that he was very responsive whenever I had any questions. In the end, Kyle's team did an amazing job preparing and installing the plywood underlayment, filling in huge gaps in the subfloor, installing the LVP, and making the transition pieces. My expectations are pretty high when it comes to quality of work, and if anything didn't look right, I would have asked for it to be redone. The good news is that the installation was perfect! I plan to use them again for my basement floor (when the time comes).
Lyle Kay 09/27/24 — google
We needed 117-year-old floors refinished and restored and the result is amazing. Pawel is an artist, and was able to get problem areas fixed, repair some areas, and do it all with care, precision and expert craftsmanship. Kyle the owner is easy to work with and helpful with great advice. It’s not cheap to refinish floors, but this was totally worth it!
Tom W 09/27/24 — google
One of the most important things when working with a company that has to do repairs/replacements at your home is their ability to communicate. Kyle was outstanding in this regard with my floor replacement. He kept me informed at every step of the process, answering all my questions promptly and clearly. He understood the process of working with the insurance company and helped to provide everything they requested. He provided samples and quality insight into the flooring options that would be beneficial to a growing family. Tomas, the person who worked on the floor, did an excellent job, demonstrating skill and attention to detail. He was also very respectful of my home. Overall, Footprints Floors exceeded my expectations with their dedication to customer satisfaction and high-quality work.
BOB SAGGET 09/24/24 — google

Kyle and Footprints Floors did an amazing job restoring our hardwood floors in our Bucktown home after years of wear and tear. Kyle was great to work with as well. He is punctual, personable, provided a quick and fair quote, and his craftsmanship was impeccable - our floors truly looked brand new after he finished them. I highly recommend working with Kyle and Footprints Floors if you are in need of floor refinishing!

Ali Galloway 08/13/24 — google
Kyle & his team assisted us with re purposing our hard wood floors, and installed a beautiful backsplash for us. The work is stellar and would recommend to anyone.
Michael Nolan 08/5/24 — google
I’m so happy with my experience with Footprints Floors. Kyle was very responsive and helped me plan a large hardwood floor and intricate mosaic tile floor refinish in a short window between closing on home and my move-in. The floors were done on time and at a very fair cost. Hugo is very talented and his attention to detail with his work shows. I will reach out again for all of my future floor jobs.
Andrew Knapp 07/30/24 — google
Footprints Flooring is amazing. Kyle responded to our request for a quote immediately and when he visited, he also saved us a significant amount of money by pointing out that we had been over sold by our flooring dealer. When it came to installation, Kenni, who was our installer, provided excellent service. He was reliable and paid a lot of attention to detail. He also was careful in his use of materials so that in the end we had 3 boxes of flooring and extra sound barrier to return to the dealer for refund. As to price, Footprints is great value for money, the bid was reasonable and was exactly as promised. The finished floor looks great and I can only recommend this company as one of the best home improvement companies that it has been my pleasure to work with!
