General Information

Limestone

Limestone is formed over millions of years by sea shells and the bones of sea creatures forming sediment on the ocean floor. It is important to note that no two tiles will be identical, a natural impossibility. Each tile carries its natural individual characteristics. Measuring should be done carefully prior to order so that there is sufficient supply of product to do the job, additional orders may come from different batches not necessarily matching a previous delivery. It is also important to measure properly as we do not accept returns.

Laying your stone floor

We recommend that installation is carried out by a professional fitter. We provide a fitting service which we can quote for on application. Most limestone will be wet when supplied (stone is cut using water) therefore it may appear darker than a dry reference sample. It is important to shuffle the tiles before laying in order to balance colour and veining differences. Apply one coat of sealant before grouting and a second coat after.

There are many ways in which a flagstone can be laid. Illustrations of some of the very best and most traditional arrangements are available on request.

Cleaning Limestone

We strongly advise all our stone tiles to be installed by experienced professional stone floor fitters. Your floor fitter will seal your floor with a sealer as explained above. Please note that sealants and impregnators are developed to work as a repellant agent to prevent spills, dirt and grout surplus from sticking to surfaces and assist cleaning procedures. Wipe up spills as they happen or place a rug/mat in front of areas that are prone to heavy grease spills e.g. cooker area. Never use bleach or acidic cleaning products.
