Limestone, which is also confused with tramite, is a calcareous and sedimentary stone. Limestone is a building stone used for interior decoration. Limestone, if covered with nano materials, will be able to compete with white travertine stones. Limestone is one of the first stones used by humans. This rock has been called the youngest sedimentary rock because its formation time is shorter compared to other sedimentary rocks.
How to form limestone
Limestone is a calcareous and sedimentary rock and it is formed from the mineral cleist. This stone is lightweight and does not weigh much compared to marble and marble stones.
Argonite, dolomite, quartz, feldspar, hematite and limonite are other materials that contribute to the formation of this stone. Skeletons called fossils can be seen in the structure of these stones. These stones are created in marine environments, especially shallow seas, where the temperature, concentration and salinity of sea water affect this stone.
Characteristics of limestone
Limestone has a smooth surface.
The absorption of water in limestone is very high, and according to the progress of science, the limestone stones are nanosized, which has made this stone resistant to water absorption.
Limestones have a bright color that creates a pleasant atmosphere when used in different parts of the building.
Limestones do not have good wear and erosion resistance.
Due to its low strength, it may be easily crushed.
Limestone is crushed by hitting sharp objects.
Limestone applications
Limestone stones are not a suitable choice for exterior facades of buildings and it is better to use this stone in open spaces. Another problem of limestone is the high water absorption and low erosion resistance of this stone, which has caused this stone to not be used in places where there is more traffic and there is a lot of drainage.
Now let’s look at some of the uses of this stone:
Flooring and stairs
The floor of the parking lot and its walls
Staircase walls
The frame around the elevator
Around the windows
The walls of the stairs
Decorations
Explicit construction
statues
