UNDERFLOOR HEATING ?
Stones of Bourgogne can be used in association of all underfloor heating techniques. Them density allow a good repatition of the heat and assure a good comfort.

TINGE ?
According to them origins, stones offer different tinges between white, beige and yellow.

STONES APPEARANCES BETWEEN THEM ?
Stones offer different surface against each other. Fosilised inlaying and ribbon banded create visual vibrations more or less mixed. When we want to blend those tinges, Tendance Pierre propose a colour selective sorting on certain stones.

During the laying, it's advised to mix stones to obtain best tinges, on the floor and on the wall.

FINISHED ?
Smooths or irregulars, finishes proposed by Tendance Pierre depends on the final use of stones.
