REFINED FRENCH LIMESTONE
Truly a classic French limestone
floor this stone has been used locally for
centuries in France. Only with the introduction
of modern cutting equipment have the
qualities of this stone become more widely
appreciated. A stone of light golden-brown
tones on a cream (sometimes rose)
background with occasional veining, this is
the standard understated limestone to which
all others are compared. Equally suited
for traditional and modern design schemes,
it is a designer’s favourite stone of choice.
The close-grained texture of the refined French
limestone comes from the beds laid down in
the Jurassic period some 90 million years ago.
This hard-wearing stone is available in a wide
range of sizes and thickness and is suitable
for carving.
