WHAT IS LIMESTONE?
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcite, a calcium carbonate mineral with a chemical composition of CaCO3. It usually forms in clear, calm, warm, shallow marine waters.
Limestone is usually a biological sedimentary rock, forming from the accumulation of shell, coral, algal, fecal, and other organic debris. It can also form by chemical sedimentary processes, such as the precipitation of calcium carbonate from lake or ocean water.
WHAT DO PEOPLE USE LIMESTONE FOR?
Limestone is traditionally used as floor and wall tiles in high traffic zones such as homes, hotels and bathrooms due to their incredible strength and durability. In recent years, Limestones such as Tundra are also being used to clad the exterior facades of new homes and hotels.
With resistance to staining and etching, Limestones such as Tundra are a high consideration for new Kitchens, feature fireplaces and bathrooms. With an array of colors and textures available in Limestone, this beautiful natural material is being specified in many modern applications.
