Some of the key advantages of limestone countertops include timeless elegance and eye-catching natural beauty.
Although you’re probably familiar with at least a few of the natural stone options used for countertops, there may be a handful that aren’t as well-known. Limestone countertops often fall into the latter category, as they are less common in homes and businesses in and near Asheville, North Carolina. But when you want something unique and visually appealing, this material is worth considering.
Limestone is a carbonate sedimentary rock that serves as the main source of lime material. It’s mainly made up of aragonite and calcite, which are crystalized forms of calcium carbonate. Since limestone also contains fossilized fragments, it’s a unique material that can be found around the world, generally in shallow marine environments like continental platforms and shelves.
Some of the key advantages of limestone countertops include their timeless elegance and eye-catching natural beauty. With delicate design patterns and colors that aren’t found in other types of stone, this option can create a rustic feel in any space. The main color choices include neutral tones of ivory, beige, and shades of white, creating a more natural appearance. Some color variations are available, such as red, yellow, brown, and gray. The fossilization patterns in each slab create a one-of-a-kind feel, ensuring that anyone who chooses this material for their countertops will stand apart.
