What is durable, and at the same time soft and at the same time cost effective. The answer is Limestone.
Like Travertine, Limestones are also timeless beauties that have been in use in all kinds of buildings and structures - cathedrals, temples and palaces, etc. Presently they are the rage in the UK, where they are used as floor tiles. One more quality that sets them apart is the fact that they are even in colour and pattern and honed. It mainly is found in cream ivory colour with fossilized remains evident throughout the tile. Limestones are sedimentary rocks formed of deposits of marine invertebrates over a period of millions of years.
Because of their durability and softness, a rather unique combination, they are increasingly used as bathroom tiles, kitchen tiles and floor and wall tiles. These tiles are natural stones that ought to be sealed in order to protect them against staining and wear and maintain its natural beauty.
Of late their popularity has increased with many commercial establishments in the UK starting with hotels, malls, luxury apartments, health clubs, etc opting for this particular natural stone.
In fact the new fashion statement is to have a uniform layering of limestone tiles from the bottom to the roof thereby lending a uniform look and natural finish.
