Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed at the bottom of the lakes and seas through the accumulation of silt and organic matter. Over millions of years, layers build up adding more weight. The heat and pressure generated by the weight causes chemical reactions to take place, thereby hardening the sediments into solid stone. Some limestone does not take a high polish, it is commonly found in a honed finish. Its most common uses are wall cladding and paving.
VARIATION IS AN INHERENT CHARACTERISTIC OF ALL LIMESTONE, AND ENHANCES THE APPEARANCE OF ANY ROOM.
LIMESTONE CARE & MAINTENANCE
Sealers:
Once the grout has properly cured, it is recommended to seal the stone with a high quality penetrating sealer. Generally stone sealers are designed to penetrate the stone leaving a non-sheen, natural look and provide protection from liquids that would otherwise absorb into and possibly stain the stone. Various maintenance products are available to enhance and highlight the character and beauty of the stone while sealing at the same time.
Cleaners:
Do not clean any natural stone with an acidic cleaner, including vinegar, or anything with a lemon or lime on the label. These products will damage the stone. It is always recommended to use a cleaner specifically designed for natural stone.
