Limestone Tile

Why Install Limestone Tile

1) Natural beauty: Limestone tiles offer soft, earthy colors and unique patterns that add warmth and elegance to any space.

2) Versatility: Suitable for floors, walls, backsplashes, patios, and pool decks if properly sealed.

3) Comfort: Its softer surface feels pleasant underfoot, making it ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms.

4) Environmentally friendly: Limestone is organic and biodegradable, often considered a “green” building material.

5) Timeless appearance: Neutral shades work for classic and modern designs, always in style.

6) Customizable: Easy to cut for different shapes and tile sizes, great for mosaic designs or accent work.

Why Not to Install Limestone Tile

1) Porous and soft: Limestone chips or scratches more easily than other natural stones—less ideal in heavy traffic or commercial areas.

2) Requires sealing and maintenance: Must be sealed regularly to guard against stains, moisture, and mold, especially in bathrooms or kitchens.

3) Heavier than other materials: Professional installation is often needed due to weight and fragility, do-it-yourself installation is risky.

4) Can be pricey: Material and professional installation costs can be higher than ceramic, porcelain, or vinyl tile.

5) Not suitable for busy households: Homes with pets, children, or very high foot traffic may see quicker wear and tear.

6) Outdoor use caution: Not recommended for freeze-thaw climates unless specifically rated tiles are chosen.
