Limestone Tiles – Everything You Need To Know

Many of the world’s most recognised landmarks were built with limestone tiles. Limestone tiling is a favourite stone among architects. Perhaps that explains why Ancient Egyptians used great blocks of limestone for many of their structures still standing today.

Limestone is a natural stone, and it is highly durable. World-renowned structures such as the Empire State Building, The Great Pyramids of Egypt and the Washington National Cathedral are all made of limestone, and these buildings have stood the test of time.

Limestone, with its speckled effect fossilisation, adds character and warmth to kitchens, living and dining rooms, bathrooms, hallways, and conservatories, bringing a natural beauty to any setting.

Our limestone tile collection encompasses a range of styles, colours and finishes, from tumbled limestone tiles to honed and polished.

This type of stone is suitable for any room in your house. Plus, the classic appearance means it will work well with any decor, so you can keep your limestone floor no matter how often you redecorate.

Limestone tiles offer versatile fitting options. They can be fitted in tiles, slabs, or various other patterns. With our vast selection of styles and arrangements, there will always be an option that fits your tastes. We offer limestone tiles from Turkey, Egypt, Spain, and India.

What’s Great About Limestone Tiles?

• Limestone tiles are highly durable, no matter how much foot traffic they get.
• These tiles are also pretty low maintenance and easy to clean. Compared to flooring options like carpet, which harbours dirt, germs and grime, cleaning limestone is a walk in the park.
• Limestone flooring is a cost-effective option for your home, garden or anywhere else! If you are looking for a budget-friendly flooring cover that makes a huge statement, limestone is your best bet.
• Last, but certainly not least, installing limestone flooring can increase the value of your home. Buyers will look at your house a little bit more favourably if you have quality, natural stone on your floors.

How to Care for Limestone Tiles

Caring for limestone tiles is relatively simple. Make sure they are mopped every few days with warm water and natural stone cleaner. Make sure not to soak them too much with water, as limestone is porous and it will soak up any moisture.

The most important thing is to ensure you do not use any harsh chemicals. Limestone is made of calcium carbonate which is sensitive to acidity. So, check and double-check that you are using an appropriate natural stone cleaner.
