Almost everyone is familiar with limestone flooring but few realise that limestone is also available in slab form allowing this fantastic material to be used in many more settings.
The warm, organic look of this material is unique and it can transform a bathroom from a sterile, cold space into an inviting and relaxing environment.
There are many limestones to choose from and some even contain visible fossils giving additional interest. Usually honed in finish if a polished surface is preferred some harder limestones can be polished to a high sign.
This material is very easy to maintain using just a simple solution of warm soapy water to clean. Placing hygiene products on trays rather than directly onto the limestone surface dramatically reduces the chance of any damage occurring from spillages. If hard water is a concern, moping up water droplets and splashes to prevent them drying on the surface is the best way to prevent limescale build up.
