• Low maintenance: Limestone is relatively easy to maintain, requiring only regular cleaning with water and occasional sealing.
• Sustainable: Limestone is an abundant, natural material that requires minimal processing.
• Variety of colors and textures: Limestone comes in a range of colours, including black, blue, and yellow, and has a variety of textures.
• Easy to cut: Limestone can be easily cut into a variety of shapes and sizes.
