Large Format Limestone Tiles Bring A Natural Splendor

LARGE FORMAT LIMESTONE TILES – A WELCOME ADDITION TO ANY ROOM

Limestone has a softer look to it than some other solid stones, giving it a textural edge when choosing the look you want for your interiors. Our large format limestone tiles come in a multitude of finishes. While honed, matte and polished finishes are highly popular, there are also several natural finishes and brushed and chiseled options too. Their irregular surfaces have a pleasing rustic character, which suits limestone and its dusty hues so well.

Large format limestone can have a classic look when laid in any of the linear patterns. However, being creative with differing sizes of tile can create a patchwork effect that adds a farmhouse dimension to a kitchen floor or a more cottage-garden feel to a patio.

Elsewhere, smooth finishes such as honed and polished make for stunning backsplashes both in kitchens and bathrooms and for more contemporary twists around the home.

LARGE FORMAT NATURAL LIMESTONE FLOORING – SOOTHING STYLE

One of the great appeals of using real stone is the sense of introducing a natural aspect to the home. Whereas granite showcases detail, our large format natural limestone flooring achieves exactly that natural element, lending itself well to toned-down, earthy, rustic themes. Vanilla creams and yellows will add a country cottage feel to a kitchen when pairing these pale, buttery hues with off-white kitchen cabinets in a traditional style.

In bathrooms natural limestone brings a gentle warmth to a space that can often feel cold with the abundance of white fixtures. A large format natural limestone floor will give a feeling of solidity without harshness. The rough surface absorbs light and sound, diminishing the sharper acoustics that can sometimes make a bathroom feel unwelcoming rather than a serene sanctuary.

Our darker natural limestones in deep grays and charcoal tones, in a 24”x 36” make for a beautiful contemporary patio with a softer edge. The dark grays emulate rain-soaked stone, making the surrounding bright foliage even more vibrant. The lush contrast is an eye-catching architectural contribution to your exterior design.

LARGE FORMAT HONED LIMESTONE TILES – CONTEMPORARY COMFORTS

The gently buffed surface of our large format honed limestone tiles adds a distinguished luster to an already beautiful stone. The buffing process doesn’t polish to a high shine but removes most of the surface irregularities you would find in rough, natural limestone. The result is a smooth finish with an almost velvety texture. Honed limestone tiles have a more contemporary appeal and make a great patio floor or shower room.

Honed limestone comes in a variety of shades, so consider the room you want to use it and the amount of light it benefits from. Stone brings a feeling of solidity with it but avoid choosing a shade that is too dark for the size of the room and the available light, or you risk the atmosphere becoming oppressive rather than intimate.

Thanks to the delicate sheen on honed limestone, light will softly diffuse, naturally elevating its appearance. Choose a lighter gray, biscuit, or white tone for a space you want to feel larger. Be daring with darker grays for a sleek, striking patio or to unite a kitchen-diner family space.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF LARGE FORMAT LIMESTONE TILES? 

Limestone is a type of sedimentary rock but when it is properly sealed, as our large format limestone tiles are, it is resistant to scratches, chips and stains making it a good choice for busy areas of the home. Although described as a soft rock it is more durable than other materials such as wood or vinyl. 

WHAT ARE LARGE FORMAT LIMESTONE TILES? 

Large format limestone tiles are made from solid limestone and cut to a variety of sizes to suit a range of styles and designs. Limestone comes in several shades within the neutral palette and different finishes to suit the needs of your room.

DO LARGE FORMAT LIMESTONE TILES LAST A LONG TIME?

Large format limestone tiles are durable and will last a lifetime. With proper care, they will retain their appearance. Avoid bleaches and instead opt for a pH neutral cleaner so as not to damage the surface.
