Uses of limestone in buildings

Wall Cladding

Wall cladding is an excellent option for infusing a sense of style and flair in your home. Limestone comes in a range of shades, from fossil to mocca, and these rich colours are perfectly balanced with the sophisticated texture of the stone created by the compacted marine organism fossils. By adding a surface covering of limestone to a wall you can transform just about any space in your house, inside or out.

Flooring(unique tiling)

Limestone comes in large slabs for use in flooring or smaller pavers and tiles. Using limestone tiles in a unique floor design or intricately arrayed pattern can look amazing. Tiling patterns come in a range of looks, shapes and styles so you can find the perfect option to suit your preferences.

Staircases

Staircases offer a fantastic opportunity to incorporate a luxurious and opulent centrepiece to your building or house. Natural stone is not just a functional material for use in steps that are exposed to high traffic thanks to its hardiness, it’s also stunning visually. Limestone stairs can look professional in an office environment or warm and inviting in a modern, designer home.

Feature walls

When trying to decide on what type of ‘feature wall’ you want, you’re probably picturing more bold and out there colour schemes like green, blue, pink or even gold. There’s no reason, however, why you can’t incorporate a feature wall of limestone. If you’re partial to a minimalist interior design style or want to keep your walls light and bright, a subtle yet elegant feature wall of limestone can go a long way and really bring your living room, lounge, bedroom or dining area to life.

Bathrooms

Nothing sparkles in a bathroom quite like natural stone. Limestone can be used throughout your bathroom like for flooring, Basin tops or Bathtubs. with just a little careful maintenance and professional resealing, this otherwise porous material offers a durable solution to your bathroom while also having the added benefit of looking utterly stunning.

Fireplaces

Fireplaces bring a sense of literal and figurative warmth to a home and limestone is a fantastic choice of stone for this application. Limestone looks fantastic in both a modern square-shaped and sleek design, or in a more traditional arched styled fireplace.

Kitchen Benchtops

Your kitchen benchtop is often the focal point of one of the most frequented rooms of the house. Using limestone in your kitchen benchtop will anchor your entire interior design with its iconic warm, earthy tones while still offering plenty of functionality as a hardy material. Whether your benchtop is designed as a freestanding island, waterfall, U-shape or as part of a galley kitchen configuration an impressive slab of limestone can be shaped and cut to your specification.
