Industrial chic meets the real world

Wilsonart's new NaturalStone™ Finish line is the first and only laminate flooring to capture the natural beauty and texture of a fine stone surface. Rivaling the finest imported marbles and granites, they complement Wilsonart's line of ceramic texture styles.

A cross between natural stone and industrial chic, NaturalStone Finishes have both textural complexity and hand crafted elements. Gwen Petter, Manager of Surface Design for Wilsonart, describes NaturalStone as “a distinct fusion that is both fresh and familiar with fine detail and large-scale movement. Warm to cool color shifts create movement and dimensionality.”

There are eight unique patterns in the NaturalStone Finish line. What makes these patterns look like real stone is the fact that no two tiles are exactly alike, and are combined with a low-gloss, 17 mil textured wear layer. Part of Wilsonart's Classic™ Collection of tiles and planks, NaturalStone features Tap-N-Lock™ Glueless Technology, which uses two tongue-and-groove joints for extra strength and a faster, non-angled installation. NaturalStone tiles come in 15½ inch squares.

Here's a closer look at all seven patterns:

Limestone - Blends of off-white, beige and grey create a soft, worn effect.

Greystone - New-age industrial grey tempered with brown to work in both architectural and residential applications.

Fieldstone - A complex blend of sienna, umber, and clay muted with grey.

Sunstone - Influenced by the ancient stones that have been gilded by the sun. Familiar, yet unique in its translation of nature.

Venetian Slate - Cool undertones balance the overall warmth in this natural beige version.

Moroccan Slate - Hints of blued-grey tones balance the subtle warm hues of this desert inspired combination.

Sicilian Slate - A classic combination of blued-greens with reddish brown undertones offers a typical interpretation of slate.

All Classic planks and tiles carry a 20-year Residential Warranty against wear, stain, fade and water damage. Wilsonart Classic is also one of the first floors in the industry ever to be certified by the North American Laminate Flooring Association. The group subjects laminate flooring materials to a comprehensive series of tests for resistance to impact, stains, heat, fading, and more.
