Stone-Look Flooring FAQs

Unlike real stone floors, which require regular sealing and polishing in order to stay looking their best, the stone-look floors from Empire are “set it and forget it” products. Regularly sweeping and mopping the typical household messes is the only maintenance your stone-look tile or vinyl flooring will need.

While both stone-look tile and vinyl products share a similar appearance, each will have distinct advantages and disadvantages depending on your lifestyle. When you schedule an in-home consultation, the flooring professional will learn more about your needs and help you find the flooring products that best fit.

Stone-look floor installation is available in all of our 70+ service areas across the country. Visit the Empire Today locations page to find professional installers near you.

Thanks to our nationwide network of warehouses and flooring installers, we can keep the wait time for any floor installation to a minimum. If the stone-look tile or vinyl flooring you choose is in stock locally, we can often begin installing it as soon as the next day after your in-home appointment.

One characteristic of real stone that often concerns homeowners is that it is an extremely hard surface, which can be a deal-breaker for certain spots like the kitchen or family room. While tile offers a similar hardness, stone-look vinyl will be a much more comfortable surface to stand or play on—without sacrificing the style.

Stone-look flooring from Empire Today gives you the appearance of the real thing in more affordable options.

A natural stone floor brings an undeniable character to any home in which it’s installed. But along with that elegance comes a variety of downsides that can make real stone floors an impractical choice for many customers. Stone-look flooring from Empire offers a chance to get stone’s appearance—and even its feel—without the troubles that the real thing can include.

For a lower-cost alternative to marble tile, consider a stone-look flooring product

The cost of real stone flooring products like marble or granite will almost always be significantly higher than any other material for the same floor area. The raw materials are more expensive to craft, and their weight and fragility add additional shipping and handling costs. The cost of a natural stone floor also grows because of the difficulty of installation. Marble, granite, and other stones require patience and special equipment to install and take longer to work with overall, which leads to an increase in labor costs. Stone-look flooring in vinyl and tile both offer lower-cost alternatives to a real marble, granite, or slate floor.

Real stone surfaces also need to be treated with a sealant every few years to keep them looking their best. Stone-look vinyl flooring and stone-look tiles from Empire are built with durability in mind. Many stone-look flooring products are treated with a special wear layer that helps protect against scratches, scuffs, and chips. Ask a flooring professional about stone-look flooring products with wear, stain, and fade warranties for long-term peace of mind.

You don’t have to sacrifice aesthetics or feel with stone-look flooring

The best stone-look flooring can so convincingly replicate the real thing that you’d be hard-pressed to know the difference without being told. Innovative printing and molding methods mean that luxury vinyl plank (LVT) can be made to look just like stone. And stone-look tile floors go beyond just mimicking the look of stone—they’ll also feel just like it underfoot.
