Blue limestone is a fantastic choice of stone for any area. This is one of the most attractive colours that we stock due to its uniqueness. The natural shade of  Blue limestone is tough to replicate as it is a subtle shade somewhere between grey & blue. It’s incredibly popular due to is toughness, and colour palette. A few of our staff members have even had this laid in their own garden! Over time, limestone improves. The colour mellows out and slowly starts to feel wonderfully traditional as the years go by.

The surface of the limestone is ‘naturally smooth’, so there is no need to worry about excessive flaking, or rough/sharp patches of the stone occurring.  Qinyuan stone Blue limestone is a very low risk choice, with a very high reward. This paving has gone through an extra process whereby the edges of the stone have been clean-cut sawn to provide a perfectly smooth edge. The benefit here is two-fold – any visible edges create a very contemporary look with the smooth edges and also, the perfectly straight edges mean the slabs sit alongside each other like a jigsaw.

The surface finish of limestone is much smoother than what is typically found on the regular sandstones. Whilst not sawn smooth, the surface of limestone is naturally quite smooth – we would describe this an ‘orange peel’ texture, so will look smooth from a regular perspective but will have small, irregular pitting across the surface.
