Black limestone FAQ
What's the difference between Sawn and Hand-Cut edges on Black limestone?
Sawn gives a crisp, precise machine-cut edge. Hand-Cut is finished by hand for a softer, more traditional look with slight natural variation — both are available on Black limestone.
Does Black limestone suit a modern or traditional room?
Both — the deep, near-black tone reads as contemporary against light walls, and traditional alongside exposed brick or dark wood.
Is Black limestone suitable for a wood-burning stove?
Yes, limestone is a long-established hearth material and performs well under sustained heat.
How do I clean a Black limestone hearth?
Limestone is more porous than slate — wipe spills promptly and avoid acidic cleaning products, which can etch the surface.
How does Black compare to Grey limestone?
Same stone and finish options, different tone. See our Grey limestone range, or the full Limestone Hearths collection to compare both.
