Customers are often surprised to discover that limestone can come in a spectrum of colours and shades, ranging from white, all the way through to black, with many variants between.
Closely related to both travertine and marble, limestone possesses similar qualities to each. It has been formed from travertine, or similar stones, with added heat, pressure and time working to provide its particular qualities.
Effectively a transition stone between travertine and marble, limestone is slightly more porous than marble. Its colours can range from consistent or flat, through to wild, delivering similar swirls and natural patterns to what is seen in some marbles.
Limestone’s broad varieties ensure that different types are suitable for different applications. Certain types are better suited for use indoor, while others are more at home in the open environment.
Exceptionally hardy and long-lasting, limestone will last for centuries in many circumstances. Most variants are flame resistant, weather resistant and possess great self-cleaning properties.
