GRANITE MARBLE LIMESTONE SLATE TRAVERTINE ONYX

Limestone can be thought of as the sea bed of a pre-historic water mass. Over millions of years soft sediment was deposited and compressed by the water pressure above it. A chemical process also took place turning the sediment into limestone – mostly calcium or magnesium carbonate. As the water levels have dropped, it is now relatively easy to quarry limestone. Limestones from different regions have unique characteristics and colours. Most are a creamy off-white, but some are dark grey, silver-blue, orange or almost pure white.

Suitable applications
Limestone can be honed or sand-blasted to produce stunning flooring that is equally at home in the aged country cottage or the contemporary apartment. These finishes are non-slip therefore limestone can be used for fabulous wet-rooms and bathrooms, indeed, entire shower trays can be carved out of a single block of stone.
