Limestone

Limestone is a useful natural stone that, due to its fine pores and unique composition, offers high durability for use in various architectural designs, including Roman-style facades. This stone is also highly resistant to frost and cold weather, making it an excellent choice for exterior facades in colder regions. Its simple and uniform appearance makes it a popular option for modern designs, while it is also well-suited for traditional architecture.

Advantages and Features

Although limestone is softer than marble and granite, it is still strong enough for most construction applications. While it is mainly recommended for indoor use, it can also be used outdoors if properly sealed. Regular sealing protects this stone from moisture and stains, ensuring its long-term durability.
