If you are on the lookout for new flooring then you are likely to be spoilt for choice by all the options on the market.Every type of flooring has its unique benefits, and its disadvantages, so how do you choose the right one for you and your home? If limestone flooring is an option you are considering, below are some benefits that may encourage you to take the plunge.
Variety of Styles and Colours
Limestone tiles come in a variety of earthy, rustic tones, like browns, creams and greys. The tiles also come in a variety of finishes such as honed, leather and glossy. They are versatile when it comes to installation arrangements, and can be fitted in tiles, slabs or various other patterns. With the vast selection of styles and arrangements, there will always be an option that fits your tastes.
Durability
Limestone is a natural stone and it is highly durable. World renowned structures such as the Empire State Building, The Great Pyramids of Egypt and Washington National Cathedral are all made of limestone, and these buildings have stood the test of time. So, you don’t need to worry about the threat of foot traffic over your limestone tiles.
Timeless Appearance
Many flooring materials come and go out of fashion, vinyl, for example, was the rage in the 1970-80’s but it has seen a decline in trendiness now. Limestone tiles, on the other hand, have been used in construction for thousands of years, and they don’t go out of style.
Versatility
Limestone flooring offers you versatility that many other flooring options cant. The tiles come in classic, muted tones and they look both earthy and elegant in any home. The tiles are suitable for any room in your house, and their classic appearance means they will still look great no matter how many times you redecorate.
Low Maintenance
Many types of flooring can be hard to maintain and clean. Carpet, for example, is notorious for harbouring dust and germs, and when it comes to a red wine spill it may be game over. Limestone flooring, on the other hand, is resistant to moisture and spills. All you need is a simple sweep and mop to keep the floors looking fresh.
