How to Source Stone Flooring?
I don't often venture into interior design and finish selection in my architecture practice but when I do I can usually hold my own. This time I've been stumped as I have a client asking specifically for a Belgian Bluestone flooring in a flagstone format. I understand that sourcing this kind of flooring is not as simple as picking a product from a ceramic tile manufacturer, i.e. "Daltile, Tundra Rectangle Stone, Color Code: SS72, 12"x24" in Running Bond."
As I understand it, you have to source it from a quarry? Who is the middleman I ought to be looking for to help me source something like this? The few interior finish reps I've reached out to have came back with ceramic tile suggestions and that's just not going to work. Thanks in advance for any guidance and direction from this community.
