Common flooring stones in Poland
Poland's stone market draws from domestic quarries — primarily in the Sudeten and Holy Cross Mountains — as well as imports from southern Europe and Turkey.
Marble
A metamorphic rock prized for its translucent appearance and veining. Requires sealing and acid-free cleaning. Common in foyers, bathrooms, and luxury residential projects.
Granite
An igneous rock with very low porosity. Highly resistant to scratching and staining. Used extensively in kitchens, hallways, and public spaces across Polish cities.
Travertine & Limestone
Sedimentary stones with a warm, textured appearance. The porous structure requires filling and regular sealing. Popular in bathrooms and open-plan living areas.
