Chris Hyland of Natural Stone Carpets talks to Build & Renovate

Natural Stone Carpets provides custom made seamless flooring solutions and wall finishes. This company designs and creates their products in Dublin and their team of master craftsmen install throughout Ireland.

At Natural Stone Carpets, the team understands that your home or commercial project needs a finishing touch that sets it apart. Something both contemporary in design and of exceptional quality- a feature that adds that one of a kind appeal to a space whether it’s indoors or outdoors. Their diverse range of resin flooring solutions and wall finishes allows you to do precisely that.

From chic quartz to elegant marble, in a dazzling array of shades and hues, Natural Stone Carpets’ floors and wall finishes can adapt to any space imaginable adding that sophisticated touch.

Add depth and style to any wall with a seamless wall finish. Their resin and microcement finishes are hand applied and available in a colour of your choice. A wall finish combined with a resin floor can give any space a truly seamless appearance.

Both durable and waterproof, they are the ideal choice for a bathroom, wetroom or kitchen. Their hard-wearing attributes also make their wall finishes a popular choice for a wide range of industries.

Natural Stone Carpets floors and wall finishes are bespoke, low maintenance, long lasting, no waste, unique and seamless.

“My Father was working in Holland in the 1980’s, he came across Quartz Carpets and he brought the product back to Ireland in 1990. We are now a second generation family run business and have also evolved our product range.

They are seamless products so there are no grout issues or joins, it can be laid completely fluid. It can make an area look bigger and brighter for you also,’’ said Chris Hyland.

“There are a couple of different products in the range that give different looks. The quartz and marble would give a more textured look but yet they are still fully sealed. You could possibly come up with more than 1,000 combinations as it is custom made bespoke flooring.

“You can mix and match the colours, it is entirely up to the homeowner but the majority of people will decide to run with the same colour blend throughout the ground floor of their home, from the front door to the back door as it gives a seamless continuity on the floor.

Some of the products in the range will come in quite comparative or less cost wise than laminate flooring or tiles. The price that we offer is a supply and fit service so it is a one stop shop, he enthused.

When it comes to the future of Natural Stone Carpets?
“We’re extremely confident that the business is going to continue to grow. We are hiring more staff and we’re pushing ahead. We also have a couple of new products in our range; they are the liquid collection which is a polyurethane resin floor that is cast down and it is warm as well as flexible and soft underfoot.

It would be environmentally friendly as they are based on bio-oils. The consumer is quite conscious as to what they are installing in their home.

“The other product is a concrete look collection which is a microcement, it is a finish that can be laid at three milimetres and it mimics the look of concrete floors. If you haven’t got a floor that you can polish to a polished concrete specification, this product can be laid and it will give you a rustic looking edge to the floor.

These floor types would be most suitable for a full retrofit or a new build,’’ concluded Chris Hyland.
