We love the combination of stone flooring with wooden or painted furniture. Our blue stone Buxton Tiles are a type of limestone, which is softer to touch than other stones: an important feature in a room with such steady footfall. The tumbled edges and durable finish ensures your floor not only looks wonderful but will weather beautifully.
Design & engineering
The finish
Limestone’s smooth, velvety texture is much warmer underfoot than marble. Each tile has a tumbled finish, with slightly uneven edges – this shows that it’s a natural stone and makes it feel more relaxed.
Where we see it
Because it’s warm to the touch and very hardwearing, limestone’s great for rooms you use a lot, like kitchens and hallways. Buxton’s dark grey colour works well in monochrome rooms, but it’s soft enough to go with wood and neutrals, too.
Vacuum with a brush attachment or sweep regularly to remove loose grit and dirt.
Clean with pH neutral cleaners only so you don’t erode the sealant.
Need to know
Instructions for installation are provided on delivery.
All our stone floors must be sealed after installation and before grouting.
Apply a second coat of sealant after grouting.
Natural stone tiles will require resealing. Depending on foot traffic, we recommend doing this around every three years or when water starts to seep into the stone rather than pool on top.
We recommend using Lithofin Stainstop to seal and reseal your tiles.
Stone and earthenware flooring can be fragile when cut or trimmed. We recommend allowing for 10% wastage when it comes to installing these tiles.
