Limestone

Ideal for kitchen and bathroom floors, bathroom countertops, backsplashes, and wall cladding.

Limestone is a beautiful stone, generally available in light browns, beiges and yellow shades, all neutral colors. Limestone comes in a variety of square and rectangular sizes, and provides elegance and richness while complimenting almost any choice of décor.

As with any natural stone, color matching can be a challenge and it is important that you purchase some extra tiles to ensure that the limestone tile was all cut from the same slab of material. The rule of thumb, if you are using a square grid pattern, is a minimum of 10% more than the calculated square footage of the area to be covered. If you are installing a diamond pattern the recommendation is 20% more than the calculated square footage of the area to be covered.

Limestone tile is installed using the same methods as one would use for any other natural stone such as granite or marble and the joints in between tiles should be filled with a grout. To avoid the possibility of permanent staining the limestone tiles should be sealed with a high quality, penetrating sealer.
