Limestone forms from layers of organic sediment. Its soft whites, pale greys and beiges give spaces a calm, natural elegance.
Key qualities
- Soft colours, mainly white, grey, beige and pale yellow, that suit many styles.
- Easy to work: softer than granite and marble, so suited to detailed carving.
- Environmentally friendly: natural and recyclable.
- Good thermal insulation, suited to hot climates.
Applications
- Interior walls and floors in living rooms, kitchens and bathrooms.
- Facades for buildings, villas and resorts.
- Gardens, paths and landscape features.
- Sculpture and decorative architectural details.
Limestone lasts well with proper care. Because it is more porous than granite, seal it carefully in wet and outdoor areas.
