The owners of this home were looking for a flooring material that would not require an extensive amount of maintenance. Because they own several dogs, they were concerned about putting in a material that could be easily scratched by their pets' nails. Slate was specified in order to solve these dilemmas as well as provide a clean look with Old World charm.
Polished copper slate from India was selected for the sunroom to provide this old, worn look for the flooring, according to Rupy Shah, president of Stone-Tec, supplier of the stone. The warm hues of this slate create a mood perfect for capturing the morning sun, Shah said.
