Irish Limestone is a natural material of unique beauty, inherent durability and versatility. It can be used for flooring, countertops, wall tiles and fireplace. The mechanical strengths and resistance to pollution makes it the ideal contemporary architectural and building medium.
Not all limestones are created equal. Irish Limestone is extremely hard and durable. The palette of colours range from black to blue to grey and often displays well-defined fossils of sea shells, corals and prehistoric sea plants.
There is a long, well-documented history of Irish Limestone as a construction material in Ireland, from the early burial cairns, the tall slender stone round towers, churches, crosses, castles and monasteries. The versatility of Irish Limestone gives designers and architects a very creative palette to suit every style. The combination of finishes can bring the most mundane structure to life. It can be finished with a polished surface for a classic look or for a rustic feel, floors and paving stones can be tumbled, flamed, or antiqued.
Irish Blue Limestone, like all natural stones, varies in appearance from slab to slab and within the body of each slab as well. This natural variation imparts the prized natural character to the stone. |
