The shade of the final product will differ compared to the sample you may receive or the images shown on this website, all sandstone paving products have a very large natural colour variation within and between different batches. You must ensure that you are happy with the colour variation of the product you have received before you start laying, as after installation exchange will no longer be possible.
Ensure that you have all the required material to completely the whole project onsite before commencing any work. Open all your crates at the same time, taking material evenly from each of them. This will ensure you have a good distribution of colours across the whole paved area. DO NOT open one crate at a time using all the material before opening the next, this can result in uneven distribution of colours and can look unsightly.
We recommend that all customers read our product selection, maintenance & installation guides before purchasing.

Are Limestone Tiles Good For Floors?
Limestone tile are a good option for all floor types, as it is very hard-wearing and easy to keep clean. It is also a good option when installing underfloor heating as Limestone tiles retain the heat well and help distribute this heat evenly through your house.
Are Limestone Tiles High Maintenance?
Limestone is a material that will require some level of maintenance if you want to maintain its natural beauty. Limestone is a porous stone so it has to be sealed during installation to protect it from stains, but apart from that and some regular maintenance its relatively low maintenance.
How To Cut Limestone Tiles?
When cutting Limestone tiles, it is best to use a diamond blade, and preferably a good quality cut tile bench or 4 ½ inch angle grinder, ideally with water feed machinery to reduce the amount of dust produced and to provide a successful cut through the tiles.
When To Seal Limestone Tiles?
You should always apply one coat of sealant before grout but after installation and cleaning, then another coat directly after you have completely finished grouting, ensuring all residues are cleaned off first.

How Much Does Limestone Flooring Cost?
There are a great range of different of Limestone tiles available in the UK market, and this can have a great effect on the price of the different limestone tiles. Limestone Tiles can range from £22 + VAT per sqm up to over £50 + VAT per sqm, but it important to select the best quality product you can afford. We would always recommend going to a company that imports directly from the quarries, as they will be able to offer the best price and normally a better product, due to their direct relationship with the quarries.
How To Clean Limestone Tiles?
Daily cleaning is important, wipe up any spills immediately and sweep floors every day with a soft broom to stop any build-up of dirt. Mop Limestone floors weekly with clean water and gentle PH neutral cleaner at the recommend ratio shown on the bottle. For walls we would recommend using the same process but with a clean damp cloth. This is an excellent way to prevent build-up of dirt and debris and keep your natural stone tiles looking prefect.
Are Limestone Tiles Waterproof?
All natural stone tiles have some degree of porosity and Limestone tiles are no exception, so no they are not completely waterproof. In a shower area and wet rooms additional tanking will be need, but this is no different to any other tile types, all walls will need tanking if in constant contact with water.
What Colour Grout For Natural Stone Tiles?
As a rule of thumb, you would normally try to match the colour of the grout to the tiles you have selected, but just going with a standard off white colour will generally work with all tile colours, blending with the lighter ones and contrasting with darker coloured tiles. This really is a personal choice and we would recommend doing a test mix with a couple of different colour options before starting the grouting.
What Adhesive Should I Use For Limestone Tiles?
We would always recommend using a white flexible tile adhesive at least S1 rated when installing Limestone tiles. You would require rapid setting adhesive for wall installations and either rapid or standard setting adhesive on floor installations.
