Of all the sedimentary rocks, the Calcareous stone (limestone) is the most commonly and universally used material for natural building. The stones’ vivid colours and incredible beauty means that it lends itself well to the building of swimming pools, terraces and other external constructions. Furthermore, Limestone interiors can be supplied in a wide variety of long lasting colours, tones, sand shades that you will never grow tired of.
Limestone tiles are taken from slabs that are extracted from the heart of the quarry. Each tile is unique and cannot be copied using factory processed marble gravel. Each piece of limestone can be considered as “precious” and allow for the production of striking and captivating works and stylishly elegant ornaments.
Despite the most precise and careful selection process and search for quality, unavoidable dissimilarities in the colour and form of the stone may be found when compared to the images shown on our web site. However, such inconsistencies and the fact that no two stones are the same is a characteristic aspect of natural stone. Indeed, the various treatments that the stone can undergo mean that a large amount of products can be made in a variety of finishes.
The technical characteristics of each stone are determined by an international standard and certified by approved laboratories. The value of each stone is approximate and can vary depending on the evolution of the quarry.
The most significant characteristics are:
In general, tiles that are marketed are all honed, flamed, brushed and tumbled.
All floors and ornaments can be tailor made to the wishes of each client.
A visit to our showroom in Pietrasanta (Corte Lotte) will allow you to appreciate the characteristics and beauty of each type of natural stone. In particular, we have a large collection of stone for internal use on display which will help you to find exactly what you are looking for.
