Ancient stone, modern living

A sense of permanence and timelessness is inherent in good interior design, and this is particularly important when considering materials.

Stone tiling, whether polished marble or natural basalt, often evokes feelings of grandeur and solidity not surprising considering the ancient origins of the massive stone blocks that are quarried in order to produce the tiles.

RMS Natural Stone & Ceramics is one of the largest suppliers of natural stone tiles in Australia. The company understands its clients want materials that are aesthetically pleasing, yet still meet the functional requirements of their homes and families.

RMS general manager Werner Nierhoff says it is the company's dedication to meeting clients' needs that inspires confidence.

"Over the years RMS has built up an enviable reputation for reliability, quality of product, and customer relations. We offer tailored solutions to meet any situation, including sourcing and producing the most difficult-to-find products."

As architectural styles change, so does the way in which people want to use stone and ceramics. Increasingly, different finishes such as antique or brushed effects and ever-increasing tile sizes find their way into project planning.

Oversized flooring tiles, as seen in the home featured on these pages, can be perfectly aligned to flow from entrance to stairs and kitchen. The same material can be used on both bathroom floors and walls, creating a seamless effect which is both luxurious and practical.

RMS provides tiles created from marble, granite, limestone, travertine, basalt and bluestone, all sourced from Europe, cut to size in the originating factory, and then shipped to Australia.

"We guarantee we can find the ideal product, whatever our clients' needs."
