Limestone & Slate

Limestone and slate are sedimentary rocks formed over millions of years by particles of sand, stone and shell compressed in layers at the bottom of our seas and waterways, producing a hard stone. Limestone is often known for its high fossil content and is generally cream or white in colour, while slate has a more uniform patina, darker than limestone, slate is available in greens, greys and blacks. Both have a honed appearance; they are softer and cannot be highly polished. Limestone is a very popular choice in bathrooms while slate is often used for bathrooms and hearths.
