Types of Limestones

Limestone is a natural stone commonly used in construction due to its aesthetic appeal, durability, and versatility.

It is used for interior floor coverings in various spaces, wall or shower cladding in bathrooms due to its resistance to moisture and ease of maintenance. Although it is not as resistant to stains and scratches as granite or marble, limestone is also used for kitchen countertops because of its beauty and warmth.

Limestone is easy to shape and cut, making it suitable for creating various decorative elements, fireplaces, tables, staircases, door and window frames, decorative columns, and tombstones.

It is a popular choice for facade cladding due to its natural beauty, warm colors, and ease of shaping. It is available in either bush-hammered or polished slabs, or as “bunja.” The texture of bunja mimics the natural form of the stone and can come in various sizes.

The surface finish can be polished, flamed, bush-hammered, or sandblasted, depending on the intended use.
Maintaining and regularly cleaning limestone is important to preserve its beauty and durability. When cleaning, it is recommended to use a mild detergent or a specialized limestone cleaner, avoiding the use of acids.

It is recommended to use sealants to protect the surface from absorbing liquids and stains.
