Limestone

Limestone is a soft marble formed over millions of years from sediments on the sea floor. The result is a smooth chalky natural stone often with deep set fossils creating fantastic visual interest.

Devon Stone offers limestone flooring and limestone tiles in a number of different sizes including mosaic tiles. Each type is cut specifically to incorporate as few or as many fossils as possible, giving a smooth and clean or rustic and classic overall look.

We quite simply offer one of the largest limestone collections in the UK. However, we are also happy to supply British or other natural limestone specified by National Heritage, Ecclesiastical councils and other planning bodies (for example Portland, Bath and Ancaster limestone). We can prepare limestone pavers, limestone tiles, and architectural limestone and carry out stone masonry in limestone.
