Our limestone cleaning, polishing and restoration services
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of the calcite and aragonite with a small amount of other materials, such as quartz, and other minerals.
Limestone usually forms in warm, clear, shallow marine waters from the accumulation of shells, mud, and organic marine debris or chemically formed as a build-up of precipitation of calcium carbonate from bodies of water and the way it is formed creates different varieties of known Limestone.
Limestone is a rather soft material which is best for indoor use. Limestone is usually used to decorate bathrooms, kitchens and living areas. It comes in a variety of colours, shades and distinct fossilized patterns, limestone helps provide a more natural feel and look to your floor, while also adding a rugged sense of sophistication.
Durable and versatile, this naturally porous material can be used on the outside of buildings, where it reduces heat gain, and inside, where it can help regulate temperature.
It is widely used in walls and to give a decorative veneer and trim, and usually left matte as it doesn’t take a glossy polish well. Many of London’s best known buildings are made from Portland limestone.
As with any natural stone, wind, rain (especially even mildly acidic rainwater), temperature and atmospheric pollutants can all take their toll. Erosion, staining, chipping and cracking can also occur in limestone over time. Because it’s quite soft, limestone can be vulnerable to damage.
However, with good limestone care, you can guarantee the preservation of this versatile stone, and keep it looking its best for years to come.
However, if you want the best results, limestone cleaning and limestone restoration are specialist jobs which require the right equipment and proper training. So, whether you need limestone floor cleaning in London or anywhere else, realistically you need to call in the professionals.
