Terrace

A terrace is exposed to rain, frost and sun all year round and calls for materials that combine aesthetics and technical performance. STONE NV is the reference partner in the distribution of natural stone and ceramic tiles for terraces, outdoor spaces and pool surrounds in Europe.

Within natural stone, limestone and travertine are popular for terraces, thanks to warm colour nuances and characterful textures. Flagstones are also widely used: irregular natural stone with an organic look.

Ceramic combines natural stone looks with strong technical properties and ease of maintenance. Geology translates the look of limestone into ceramic, both indoors and outdoors. Quartzite, blue stone and cobblestones offer additional possibilities.

The right choice depends on exposure, look and maintenance preferences.

Built to weather the elements

From frost-resistant granite to authentic, history-laden cobblestones and the cool elegance of travertine: STONE NV brings together natural stone and ceramic product groups built to withstand rain, frost and sun year after year. Your terrace keeps its character, whether it's a sleek contemporary space or a timeless rustic driveway.

Quartzite is a rock that mainly consists of the mineral quartz. Quartzite often arose from (sedimentary) quartz sand that was initially compressed into sandstone. The individual sand grains can still be seen in such sandstone. Quartzite can also be further hardened by pressure and temperature or by deposition of binding gravel, after which the individual grains are no longer visible.

Travertine is a beautiful natural stone that is often used in interior and exterior designs. It is known for its unique texture and warm appearance. The distinctive pores and veins in travertine give it a playful and organic look. Using travertine in your interior adds a touch of elegance and natural beauty. Whether you choose a modern or classical style, travertine offers countless possibilities to give your space a timeless and luxurious look.

In summary, travertine is a versatile and stunning natural stone that can be a stylish addition to any interior or exterior design. It combines natural beauty with durability and easy maintenance, making it a favorite choice for many people.

 

Sandstone is a sedimentary rock that mainly consists of grains of sand. During sedimentation of sand grains, also silt, lime, gravel, glimmers, feldspar and other rock fragments are deposited. Due to weathering, an originally yellow-brown sandstone turns gray. The occurrence of certain oxides and other minerals colors variants brown-red.

Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is formed by the accumulation of (calcareous) material remains of marine organisms. Limestone therefore mainly consists of calcium carbonate and fossils are regularly found in it (shells, ammonites, etc.). Bluestone is an example of a fossil limestone, consisting of the remains of sea lilies.

Cobblestones are durable natural stones that have shaped the Belgian streetscape for centuries. These robust stones, often found on squares, courtyards and city centres, bring not only character but also history to every project.

At STONE NV, we give these original Belgian cobblestones a second life. Carefully reclaimed from historic cities such as Ghent, Antwerp and Liège, they are cleaned, sorted and sawn in our Belgian workshops. Each stone retains its authentic appearance while being adapted to the technical needs of modern applications.

The reclaimed cobblestones are available in porphyry, sandstone/grauwacke, Swedish granite and Belgian bluestone. Resistant to heavy use, frost and salt, they can be used both outdoors and indoors — from driveways and terraces to public squares or interior flooring.

By choosing reclaimed materials, you save up to 17.5 tons of CO₂ per 100 m². Our production runs entirely on solar energy, and all process and cooling water is recycled. You’re not only choosing quality and beauty, but also a circular and environmentally conscious solution.

Slate is a stone characterized by a clear, dominant foliation of alternating layers. Thanks to this foliation, slate has a strong cleavage and crumbles into thin, plate-shaped chunks. Slate is naturally formed by the metamorphosis of clay-rich sediment, such as shale or clay stone.

Granite is an intrusive rock, which means that it is formed by the underground solidification of magma. Because granite has solidified at depth, the minerals have had time to form crystals during slow cooling.

Nowhere as popular as here in Flanders! From trophy after the hellish passage or climb to garden path, terrace or driveway. These classics withstand wind and weather, can take a hit and last a lifetime. Available in soft earthy colors, sparkling quartzite or a seasoned reclaimed version, these are the stones for your outdoor space.

Flagstones are back! Contemporary, rural or cottage, urban, from inside to outside. Available in quartzite, sandstone or limestone. Boldly colored or soft earthy colors, these are the missing pieces for your indoor or outdoor space. STONE is the sole source of the rare quartzite flagstones Albino Yellow, Albino White, and Flamingo from Brazil.

Klinstones are small stones measuring 20 cm by 5 cm. Thanks to the small size, they are easily assembled in diverse laying patterns. Available in grey, red or yellow, blue hardstone or soft beige limestone; these klinstones are highly suitable for garden paths, borders, stairs, terraces and driveways.

Origin is STONE NV’s own limestone-inspired porcelain collection, developed for architecture, interiors and outdoor spaces where aesthetics and performance must meet. Inspired by refined European limestone, Origin translates the natural beauty of stone into a technically advanced porcelain surface that delivers long-term durability, safety and ease of maintenance.

The collection includes four carefully balanced colours — Bone, Ivory, Dove and Storm — ranging from soft off-white to deep mineral grey. Each tone is designed to support architectural calm, natural light and material harmony. With identical surfaces available in 9.2 mm indoor tiles, 20 mm outdoor tiles and matching plinths, Origin allows seamless visual transitions between inside and outside.

Geology is STONE’s ceramic limestone-look collection, designed to combine the natural warmth and elegance of genuine limestone with the performance of porcelain stoneware. The tiles feature subtle fossil details, soft tonal variations and natural textures inspired by limestone from regions such as Egypt, Croatia and Spain.
Thanks to advanced digital printing technology and an exceptionally dense, wear-resistant surface, Geology approaches the authenticity of natural stone without the sensitivity to stains, acids or scratches.

The collection is available in four colours — Simbel Sand, Simbel Grey, Istrain White and Navarra Grey — and in multiple formats: 895 x 895 x 9.5 mm, 595 x 595 x 9.5 mm and 600 x 900 x 20 mm. This allows the same aesthetic to be applied indoors and outdoors, ideal for seamless floor concepts.

Geology offers a timeless, low-maintenance solution for residential, project-based and commercial applications — a luxurious stone look with the reliability of ceramic.
