Limestone Services

Limestone can be difficult to maintain if a proper maintenance cycle is not put in place from the point of installation. As it is usually not polished, the problem of scratching is not as big an issue as it is with marble, however if proper barrier matting is not introduced even a honed surface will lose its attractiveness. The most important factor to consider with the limestone  maintenance process is the possibility of staining. Its calcite composition makes it susceptible to acid attack from spilt food and drink. Its high porosity can also mean oil will permeate the surface and leave staining if it is not properly sealed with a penetrative sealer.

Limestone can make a beautiful addition to any home's kitchen or bathroom. The stone adds a lovely natural beauty and a touch of the outdoors into your home. Limestone is formed from sand and the shells of aquatic life, which makes it an environmentally friendly choice when designing a new bathroom or kitchen.

Limestone is very resistant to moisture, which makes the stone a great choice if you have installed a steam shower in your bathroom. The stone is also naturally cool to the touch, which is beneficial in the kitchen for baked goods to cool. It is highly resistant to heat and will not discolor from hot pots or pans. This feature also makes limestone a very popular choice for accenting fireplaces. Professional bakers often use the stone to roll dough because the dough will not stick to the surface. Due to limestone's porous nature, some people believe that it is a nightmare to clean and stains easily. This is not always the case if spills are attended to immediately.
