Limestone Flooring Tiles

Limestone floor tiles are an excellent way to enhance the aesthetic and value of your property. With their natural beauty and timeless appeal, these tiles bring a touch of elegance to any space, whether it’s a modern kitchen, a traditional hallway, or an outdoor patio.

Choosing limestone floor tiles not only enhances the visual appeal of your property but also adds a sense of warmth and luxury underfoot.

Limestone Tiles For Walls & Flooring.

One of the key advantages of limestone floor tiles is their durability. As a natural stone, limestone is incredibly strong and long-lasting, capable of withstanding heavy foot traffic in both residential and commercial settings.

In addition to their strength, these tiles are highly versatile, suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Their ability to stay cool in summer and retain heat during colder months makes them a practical flooring solution for year-round comfort. Furthermore, limestone is an eco-friendly choice, being a sustainable material that is easy to maintain, making it a smart investment for any property.

Natural Limestone Tiles Are Perfect For Bathrooms

Limestone floor tiles are the perfect choice for a bathroom due to their natural slip-resistant properties and moisture resistance. Their subtle textures and calming tones create a serene, spa-like atmosphere, turning your bathroom into a relaxing retreat.

Limestone’s durability ensures it can withstand the damp environment of a bathroom while maintaining its luxurious look over time. Additionally, its ability to retain warmth underfoot makes it an ideal pairing with underfloor heating, providing comfort during cooler months.

Limestone Tiles For Commercial Properties.

Limestone floor tiles are an ideal choice for commercial spaces, offering a perfect blend of durability and elegance.

Their hard-wearing nature allows them to withstand high foot traffic, making them suitable for busy areas such as office lobbies, restaurants, and retail spaces.

The timeless, natural beauty of limestone enhances the professional appearance of any commercial setting, while its low-maintenance requirements mean it stays looking pristine with minimal effort.

Limestone’s versatility also makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor commercial applications, providing a cohesive look throughout the property.

From source to you

Mandale Derbyshire Fossil Limestone is quarried by Natural Stone Sales sister company Mandale Stone Company, the quarry is situated at  Sheldon, near Bakewell, in the heart of the Peak District.

It’s all in the detail

The Stone is quarried using the traditional method of plugs and feathers, this method allows for no explosives to be used.  This means that holes are drilled into the blocks and metal feathers inserted the metal plugs are then driven in to split the block open.

Made in Derbyshire

Mandale Derbyshire Fossil Limestone was formed some 365 million years ago when Derbyshire was underneath warm seas. The main fossils are crinoids, Crinoids are marine animals which are sometimes referred to as Sea Lillies, other shellfish and corals are present and sometimes even a sharks tooth can be seen.

A polished slab

Occasionally when the natural beds of the limestone quarry are pure enough, dimensional block is won. These blocks are sawn into varying thickness of slabs and they are then polished. Because it takes a high polish it is also known locally as Sheldon Marble. Slabs can also be Honed or Textured to allow for different finishes.

When the blocks are cut and polished it reveals the individual and unique beauty of this historical material.

Polished  slabs can be shaped into worktops, bathroom vanity tops, fire surround, hearths and memorial stones. Clients can browse by appointment, if they wish, visit our yard to choose their own little piece of history and choose their own limestone flooring.
