Limestone is a natural stone honed by the earth. This building material is steeped in history and is still popular today. Use limestone tiles to add a touch of timeless sophistication to your space.
What Are Limestone Tiles?
The history of limestone as a building material goes back thousands of years, with evidence of its use in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Many of the world's most iconic structures, such as the Parthenon and the great pyramids, prominently feature limestone.
Limestone tiles are made from sedimentary rock formed from the remains of marine organisms like coral or shells.
These tiles are quarried, cut into slabs, and then cut into the desired size. The surface can then be honed or polished to create a smooth, shiny finish or tumbled for a more natural, rustic feel.
In home and commercial design, limestone floor tiles are popular, as they provide a luxurious and durable surface that can withstand heavy foot traffic.
The natural beauty and varying textures and colours of limestone make it ideal for creating an organic, earthy feel in spaces like bathrooms and kitchens. Limestone wall tiles especially make a statement on countertops and backsplashes.
Thanks to its resistance to weathering (when properly sealed), you can use limestone tiles outdoors on patios, walkways, and pool surrounds.

How Long Do Limestone Tiles Last Outdoors?
The longevity of limestone tiles outdoors depends on the quality of the stone, the installation process, the local climate, and how well the tiles are maintained.
Limestone is a porous material, so you must seal your tiles to protect them from moisture and staining.
Regularly cleaning your tiles will also help them look good for longer. We recommend using our Doodle bug cleaner with a mild, pH-neutral cleaner like Amberclean.
When installed properly and maintained regularly, outdoor limestone tiles can last for decades, even up to 50 years.
