​

What Is Limestone?

​

Limestone is a natural sedimentary stone formed from calcite-rich deposits over millions of years. Its formation gives it:

   •    A naturally smooth, matte texture
   •    Soft, subtle veining
   •    Warm beige, cream, white, and grey tones
   •    Excellent performance in exterior environments
   •    High adaptability to architectural shaping

​

Because of its density, strength, and workability, limestone is widely used in facades, flooring, wall cladding, columns, landscaping, pool surrounds, and custom architectural carvings.
