Enhancing Your Space with Elegant Limestone and Dijon Flagstones

When it comes to sprucing up your living spaces, both indoors and outdoors, the choice of flooring plays a pivotal role in creating the desired ambiance. Among the myriad options available, Limestone Flagstones and Dijon Flagstones stand out for their natural beauty, durability, and versatility. These flagstones not only add a touch of elegance to your environment but also offer practical benefits that make them an ideal choice for various applications.

Limestone flagstones, derived from sedimentary rock formations, are known for their timeless appeal. They come in a range of earthy colors, from subtle greys to rich beiges, blending seamlessly with different decor styles. Their natural texture not only adds an aesthetic dimension to your space but also provides a non-slip surface, making them suitable for areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor patios. Moreover, limestone is renowned for its durability. It can withstand heavy foot traffic and adverse weather conditions, making it a long-lasting flooring option.

On the other hand, Dijon flagstones offer a slightly different aesthetic. These flagstones are characterized by their unique color variations, ranging from light creams to dark greys. This variegated pattern gives each tile a distinctive look, ensuring that no two spaces will look exactly the same. Dijon flagstones are perfect for those who wish to create a rustic yet sophisticated setting. They are often used in areas like living rooms, garden paths, and conservatories, where their beauty can be fully appreciated.

Let's consider practical examples to understand their application better. Imagine a cozy backyard patio with limestone flagstones, complementing the greenery with their natural tones, creating a serene space for relaxation. In contrast, a kitchen floored with Dijon flagstones, with their varied hues, adds warmth and character to the heart of your home.

Both limestone and Dijon flagstones are also relatively easy to maintain. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a mild detergent are usually enough to keep them looking pristine. In case of spills, quick action is advisable to prevent staining, especially on limestone, which is slightly porous.

When it comes to installation, it's recommended to seek professional help. Proper installation ensures longevity and helps maintain the aesthetic appeal of the flagstones. Professionals can also advise on the best type of sealant to use, which is crucial in preserving the flagstones' beauty and making them more resistant to stains and weathering.

In conclusion, whether you choose limestone flagstones or Dijon flagstones, you're not just selecting a flooring material. You are choosing elements that will elevate the aesthetic of your space, offering both beauty and functionality. These flagstones are not just floors; they are foundations that reflect your style and enhance your living experience.

Our Biggest Ever Sale!

The run-up to Christmas can be an expensive time, and from years of experience, we know this time of the year is crunch time for many projects. Extensions are up and now it’s time to kit them out, ready for family and friends to invade over the festive season.

To help out with costs, we have decided to launch our biggest ever sale!

It will run from Monday 19th November until Friday 21st December 2018, while stocks last, giving you plenty of time to order samples, make your decision and place your order. As well as some of our most favourite and popular product lines, we have some really great value ‘job lots’ and discontinued products at great prices. Perfect for those who are working to a tight budget.

Below is a roundup of six of my favourite sale products: –

Dijon Tumbled Limestone – one of our most popular tiles, prices start from only £31.50 (including VAT) in our winter sale. This limestone is a gorgeous, neutral tile and is especially popular with deVOL customers as it sits beautifully against their kitchen colours. It’s really hard-wearing, so is perfect for kitchens, hallways and living areas. The taupe and mink colours are interspersed with light grey and white shell, quartz and fossil detail to create a pretty, unique floor.

Tumbled Antiqued Ash Limestone – we love this stone, so much so we laid it at the entrance of our Cotes Mill showroom, and four years on it still looks as good as when we first laid it! The consistent bluey-grey tones and tumbled edges make this flagstone tile very popular with customers. It can be used both inside and outside, so great if you want to carry a kitchen floor through to the patio. The 500xfree-length size has been reduced from £40 per sqm to just £33 per sqm and the Grand Opus pattern has been reduced to £35 per sqm.

Aged Oak Porcelain – wood effect porcelain has really taken off in the past few years, and we searched high and low to find the perfect range. We source ours from Italy, so the tiles are the highest quality and are very realistic, with colour variation, knot detail and undulations in the surface of the tiles. The Aged Oak is so popular in our office, that both Kathryn and Molly have used it in their bathrooms! Reduced to just £40 per sqm, the wood effect porcelain is also available in four other colours.

Argentum Lux Porcelain – this is a fairly recent addition to our porcelain range and one that I love! The delicate grey tones are broken up with replica vein detail to create the illusion of a marble tile. The large 750×750 format makes it ideal for use in large, open plan spaces or if you want to create a real statement bathroom. Reduced from £37 per sqm to just £32 per sqm, we also have different looks and colours in the 750×750 size included in our sale.

Vintage Bronze Tumbled Limestone – I love the sandy tones of this limestone, it reminds me of a traditional English limestone that you’d see in the Cotswolds or Bath. The stone is full of interesting fossil detail and the tumbled edges give a softer, more rustic appearance. I can imagine it looking amazing in a barn conversion or a big townhouse or even a cosy cottage. Again, this stone can be use both internally and externally so you could carry it through to a patio area. Normally £67 per sqm, we’ve discounted it to only £55 per sqm which is a great deal!

Blackden Oak – This isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I adore the unashamedly dramatic finish of the Blackden Oak! It has been burned, scorched and finished by hand to create a rich, warm, authentic appearance and to create the impression of an original wooden floor that has been down for centuries. It has been reduced to £90 per sqm in our sale, and I think a great price for so much charm and character. We also have some other lines within our Planks & Parquet range which have been reduced, so make sure you check them out here.

As well as our sale products, we have some amazing deals on our end of line and discontinued products, and a few job lots which are total bargains. The Burghley Cream Vintage Limestone is my favourite. Again, it has that English limestone feel to it with luxurious sandy, creamy tones and it has been hand finished to create the appearance of a really rustic, time-worn floor. We have a job lot of 28.7sqm of 400xfree-length priced at just £900 (including delivery) and another of 28.26sqm in 500xfree-length priced at £1,100 (again including delivery).

We also have 23.04sqm available of the Riven Grey Quartzite for only £850. This beautiful stone has a riven surface and dark grey to silvery blue tones and I’m sure will be snapped up in no time!

You can see our full range of offers on our Special Offers page, and of course, if you have any questions at all, please call our friendly, knowledgeable sales team on 01509 234000 or email on enquiries@floorsofstone.com. We’d be happy to help and advise and help you find the perfect floor for your project.

What is Limestone?

We must all have been asked this question at least a hundred times! To us it seems so obvious, we deal with it all day every day, how can you not know what limestone is? But then we remember to put ourselves in our customers’ shoes. Customers who may have just started to consider the flooring for their project and are currently knee deep in samples of natural stone, porcelain, wood, ceramic, luxury vinyl….it seems like the list is endless! Where do you start? What even is porcelain? Why should I choose a natural stone? Arghhh!

We know how confusing it can be when you’re in the midst of a project, so I’ve decided to do a mini series of blogs explaining a bit more about the different types of flooring we sell. I hope it will be helpful and give you more information to base your decision on.

So back to our original question…what is limestone?

For those of you who can remember back to your school science lessons, you may recall that limestone is a sedimentary rock formed from different crystal forms of calcium carbonate. It is most commonly formed in clear, warm, shallow marine waters and is formed from the remains of shells and micro-skeletons, which means you can get the most beautiful fossil detail in the stone.

Limestone has been used for centuries as a building material (the Palace of Westminster is made of limestone), and most of our limestone tiles are extremely hard-wearing, making them great for use in busy family homes. We get a lot of question about the upkeep of the stone, but all that is needed is an application of good quality sealer to protect them from staining and then cleaning with natural stone cleaners, sweeping or even vacuuming (as long as the beaters are turned off). If you want more advice on cleaning and sealing then give our advisers a call and they’ll be happy to chat through this with you.

Many people think that limestone just comes in a sandy/cream colour, but there is in fact a great variety of colours, textures and finishes.

One of our most popular limestones is the Dijon Tumbled Limestone (which we also sell in a brushed and honed finish). This is what most people traditionally think of when they imagine a limestone floor – a soft, neutral colour. It is a beautiful tile, full of quartz and fossil detail, and has gorgeous shades of mushroom, taupe and light grey throughout, so it sits well in most properties. It’s one of our favourites, so much so that we’ve laid a large area of it outside our office here at Cotes Mill. This love has even filtered through to our homes and both my parents and Emily’s parents have it in their kitchens!

Some of our customers are lucky enough to own period properties, which are full of character. A lot of people come to us wanting something that will tie in with the age and character of their home, but still be practical for day-to-day family life. Our range of limestone flagstone tiles are perfect for this. One of our best-sellers is the Umbrian Limestone. Rich tones of umber and russet warm this grey stone, giving it so much personality. It has hand dressed edges and a partly riven partly honed surface, which give the look of an original flagstone floor that has been aged over time. We have a great range of flagstone tiles, from the dramatic, dark Brushed Charcoal Limestone to the warm, sandy tones of the Vintage Bronze Tumbled Limestone, so make sure you take a look if you’re after something to complement the age of your home, or even to inject a bit of character into a more modern property.

Whilst we love the rugged nature of a tumbled tile, this isn’t suitable for everyone. Some people are looking for something a little more delicate, a bit more understated, maybe for an en suite or bathroom. Our Limra Limestone or Myra Limestone are perfect for this. Simple and light, they are ideal for reflecting light around a small space and keeping it looking contemporary and unassuming. Personally I wouldn’t use these tiles in a busy area (but then I am averse to cleaning!) but I think the off-white tones, with a little detailing from speckles throughout, would make the most stunning, sleek bathroom.

Finally I couldn’t write a blog about limestone without featuring my colleague Martha’s favourite stone. The Seagrass Limestone. This olive coloured stone leaves you in absolutely no doubt that it is a natural stone, it is packed full of shell and fossil detail. So if you’re wanting something that will be a real feature in the room and will forever keep you amused (every time you look at the tiles you will discover a new fossil) then the Seagrass is a great choice!

I hope this blog has been helpful, and given you more of an idea about what limestone is and where it can be used. If you want more information, then do give our friendly staff a call on 01509 234000 or email us at enquiries@floorsofstone.com and we will be happy to help with any questions you may have. We can also send out free samples, to give you a feel for the stone.
