Best Kota Stone for Home Flooring
Updated 2026-11-14
Which Kota stone colour, finish, size and thickness works best in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and verandahs.
Living rooms and bedrooms
Polished or semi-polished blue Kota in 2×2 ft tiles is a common home choice: it looks clean, stays cool in summer and is easy to mop. Selected grade gives a more uniform look across a large room.
Kitchens and bathrooms
In wet areas, avoid a high polish. Semi-polished, honed or natural finish gives better grip. Seal the stone to reduce oil and water stains.
Verandahs, balconies and terraces
Natural, rough or anti-skid finishes are better for areas that get rain. Leave proper slope for drainage.
Thickness for homes
For most indoor floors on a solid base, around 20–25 mm is commonly used. Use thicker stone for stairs or areas with vehicle loads. Confirm with your mason based on the base and laying method.
