But if you’re looking for a blend of timeless elegance, natural beauty, and lasting durability, limestone tiles should be at the top of your list. Here we will be exploring the wonderful world of Limestone and why it is a standout choice when it comes to both the modern home as well as commercial spaces.
Naturally Elegant Aesthetic
Limestone offers a soft, earthy appearance that instantly brings warmth and character to any space. With its neutral tones ranging from creamy whites and sandy beiges to deeper greys and blues, it’s easy to match with almost any design style, whether you’re going for rustic charm, modern minimalism, or classic luxury. Every limestone tile is unique, with subtle variations and fossilised patterns that add depth and individuality to your flooring or walls.
Our Salem Gold Limestone has an abundance of character! With its beautiful golden base and a high content of fossils and shells, this tile contains hundreds and thousands of years of history and tells stories that have long been forgotten. The tumbled edge of this tile also gives it an additional rustic look, perfect for any home.
Long-Lasting and Durable
Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed over millions of years, making it incredibly sturdy. When properly sealed and maintained, limestone tiles can withstand heavy foot traffic and resist wear and tear, making them an ideal option for high-use areas like hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms. Some materials also look worn and dated as they age but limestone has the ability to withstand the test of time, as long as it is cared for your stone will bring you a lot of happiness for many years to come.
Versatile for Indoor and Outdoor Use
One of the biggest advantages of limestone tiles is their versatility. Not only do they work beautifully indoors, but they’re also durable enough for outdoor applications like patios, garden paths, and pool surrounds. Their natural slip-resistant surface adds an extra layer of safety for outdoor areas. But it is also important that you get confirmation that the particular limestone you are interested in is suitable for exterior use, with some materials you will need to ensure it is a particular thickness to add to the structural integrity.
Our 20mm thick Desert Pearl Limestone is the perfect choice for exterior use, with its warm grey tones and hints of beige, this seamless colour palette acts as the perfect base for any design scheme. To create a flowing aesthetic, why not use one of the thinner tiles inside and continue the design into the garden area.
Adds Value to Your Home
Natural stone tiles are often seen as a luxury feature, and limestone is no exception. But with so many options now available on the market, limestone doesn’t always need to break the bank! Its high-end look and long lifespan could potentially increase the value of your home, which is a great bonus if you ever decide to sell but you can also very much enjoy for yourself in the meantime.
