Home | Materials | Limestone

Limestone looks similar to marble and has a unique origin as it is made over time from shells and fossils and is shaped by sand and aquatic life. It has a very high heat resistance; however, limestone is more fragile than granite, and since it is a porous material, it can be susceptible to staining and etching from acidic substances.

Proper care and maintenance, such as regular sealing and avoiding contact with acidic liquids, are necessary to preserve its beauty and functionality.
