Tell me about the stone

Kota Blue limestone is an incredibly popular stone the world over. Its perfect blue-gray hue makes the ideal contemporary color palette for a vast array of designs. It has a beautiful stony mottled pattern that is subtle and demure, giving the tile the unique charm of a natural stone, while still retaining enough consistency to make it a reliable choice.

But just as important is the style, is the stone's functionality. Kota Blue limestone can be used for both internal and outside applications. Create a porch area that welcomes guests into your home. Keep the beautiful stone running all the way through your hallway and kitchen for a contemporary and practical design. It really is that versatile.

Limestone is a sufficiently durable stone that has been used for centuries to create long-lasting architecture. It is hardwearing, making it a great investment for those looking for a natural stone with longevity. We recommend sealing your limestone tiles with a stone protectant to prevent stains damaging the stone's appearance, a common process that is required with most natural materials. This will ensure your tiles remain free from moisture adulteration and continue looking great.

Tell me about the tile's finish

The Kota Blue tiles have a subtle yet distinct natural cleft face. This is a finish which is not created by stonemasons but is, in fact, the natural texture of the stone upon carving. It is slightly pitted and rough, giving the stone an authentic, rustic look.

But there is much more to a cleft face that just design potential. It also comes with a number of functional benefits. In terms of durability, a natural cleft face is up there with the best. Because it is not a refined finish, it does not need regular upkeep to ensure the design is as intended. Natural wear and tear will occur, but the stone ages beautifully, creating an antique effect over time.

Another benefit of a textured surface is the level of grip that the tile holds. When a stone has traction, it will feel less slippery when wet, making it perfect for flooring throughout the home, including bathrooms and entrances that are likely to experience puddles of water.

What overall look will I achieve?

Kota Blue is an incredibly versatile stone that works well in a variety of designs. Create a gorgeous contemporary kitchen by incorporating this natural stone into your flooring. Add white shaker style kitchen cupboards and a dark countertop for a simplistic and timeless design.

In a bathroom setting, Kota Blue can help to create an understated Scandinavian-style design. Add a sleek glass shower screen and touches of wood and concrete for the blend of rustic materials that makes this style so highly desired. Keep bathroom walls a simple white and add a large circular mirror for alternative texture.
