Why do you recommend certain limestones for kitchen floors and bathrooms?
In choosing a stone it is important to consider how the stone will change over time. Many of the more porous stones will stain easily and unfortunately, even the best impregnators may not be good enough. If this aged look is what your client wants, then any limestone will do. If your client is a bit more particular, we suggest you consider what the French call “Pierre Marbriere” or in English, “Marble Stone”. A “Marble Stone” is a metamorphosed limestone that has become considerably denser and harder while in the Earth’s crust. Limestone such as Villebois Jaune, Saint Baudille, Demi Roche Gris and Saint Croix are a few. Ask us for samples. You will find these stones are more stain and wear resistant. Unfortunately, as carbonates, “Marble Stones” are acid sensitive.
