Swimming pools with carpets? Doesn’t that sound good? Indeed. Provided, of course, we’re referring to carpets made of stone granules. Made of grit and gravel, “stone carpets” may not be as fluffy as shag pile carpets. They are, however, much more robust and easy to care for – and far more versatile.

Stone carpet is a flooring system made from small stones or natural rocks that are mixed with a resin or chemical binder, then compacted onto the floor. Basically, they mix small smooth gravel with epoxy then spread it out over the surface of a patio, walkway, or even inside a room. Once it’s dried it makes a nice looking smooth, non-slippery waterproof surface.

Stone carpets are probably the most versatile carpets in use. Invented in the 1970s, they have become increasingly popular in recent years. There are many reasons for this: being robust and durable and thanks to their anti-slip properties, stone carpets are ideal in areas that are exposed to high foot traffic, for example stores and malls. Stone carpets can be laid on all kinds of surfaces, in both indoor and outdoor areas such as balconies and decks. You could, in fact, say they are almost predestined for swimming pools, saunas and spas. Depending on their area of application, regular vacuuming and, occasionally, a little steam are enough to keep a stone carpet clean.
