Limestone is the result of millions of years of seashells and bones of sea creatures settling on the ocean floor and is appropriately called a sedimentary stone. The collecting of the “sediment” continued for a period of 50 million years and ended between 200 and 300 million years ago. The calcium in the sells and cones combined with the carbon dioxide in the water to form calcium, carbonate, the basic mineral component of all limestone and marble.
Limestone tiles and slabs are hard and suitable for all interior residential applications. Some limestone is extremely hard and can also be used for exterior application or for heavy commercial projects.
Because all stone is porous, limestone and marble must be sealed. The sealing fills the pours of the stone so that dirt and stains cannot penetrate.
