What are the different kinds of limestone floor tiles?
Our customers often ask us this, and so here is a quick overview of some of the main varieties:
Travertine limestone
This comes originally from Turkey, and has a distinct pitted, surface typically filled with resin. You’ll find it in an array of earthy tones, so it’s a highly adaptable choice for many varied kitchen styles.
Jerusalem limestone
This comes from quarries in the famous city, and combines timeless appeal with a rich heritage. Colours tend to be warm and soft, so this type is ideal for creating a rustic appearance with a Mediterranean flavour.
French limestone
This limestone has a fine grain and, again, soft shades including yellows, creams and whites. This stuff also comes in wide line-up of sizes and finishes and, again, your kitchen floor will have a timeless feel.
Blue limestone
Blue limestone can look absolutely stunning, while also adding intrigue and elegance. And it’s especially well suited to minimalist or modern kitchen designs. Its colour is a striking blue-grey, plus there are natural fossil patterns.
Antique limestone
This variiety of limestone will lend your kitchen a real vintage feel. And that’s because it’s aged and weathered, so as a result it looks very rustic. So if you’re after a nostalgic feel for your room, antique limestone is the way to go.
