Good in looks and dependable in character, Limestone Slabs cannot be
considered any less than any of the other stone slabs used in construction of
buildings, commercial or residential. It is interesting to note here that
Indian limestone slabs contribute to more than sixty-five per cent of the total
limestone market.
The most wonderful part about these slabs is that they blend
in any surroundings and can complete the look of modern as well as tradition
designs. These slabs can be used on the floor or the wall and they have the
ability to transform any place, especially when they are used with cemented
blocks in sewage tanks, driveways and so many other places.
Limestone slab,
being easy and not very expensive to maintain, is a preferred choice with many
people, especially in the places with the problem of erosion due to harsh
environmental conditions, where it may not be advisable to use marble as it may
get spoilt. Moreover, you cannot doubt the choice of your predecessors who
relied on the limestone and built the statues and buildings which have stood
the test of time for more than 2000 years ago.
Having said that, there is no
denying the fact that installation of limestone slabs can only be done by the
professionals who are experienced in the field. Indian Limestone Slabs have proved their credibility as a
construction material for internal and external designs. Historically they have
shown longevity and sturdiness which keeps their popularity at the peak.
Limestone
is formed from calcite and aragonite (different
crystal forms of calcium carbonate). It is a sedimentary rock used mainly as a
building material but it has many other uses apart from that. Like most other
sedimentary rocks, most limestone is composed of grains and most of these
grains are skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral or
foraminifera.
Due to the impurities present in the form of clay, sand, iron
oxide or organic remains, limestone may exhibit different colours. It may also
be crystalline, clastic, and granular in texture. Also, Indian limestone slabs
are porous, which happen due to rearrangements in the crystalline structures.
They are easily cut and are not affected much by variations in temperature. Indian
limestone slab is soft which requires little or no polishing and gives rough
and earthy appearance.
Many landmarks in the world have put
limestone to use even in the ancient civilization and societies. The reason for
it being a preferred stone is its long-lasting quality which, despite so much
of exposure to external factors, let it survive and remain as an iconic
structure for a very long time.
