About the stone

Where to use it
Borghamn Grey-Brown is mainly specified for interior flooring, stair treads, window sills, worktops and tables and interiors. Limestone and marble are more sensitive to acids than granite; an impregnating sealer and pH-neutral cleaning keep the surface at its best.

- honed: smooth and matt, shows the pattern, for interior floors
- planed: matt with a light texture
- polished: deepens the colour, for interiors and facade details
Origin and geology
On the eastern shore of Lake Vättern, at Borghamn and Omberg, limestone has been quarried since the Middle Ages. It lies in the region's churches and in Nationalmuseum in Stockholm.
Swedish limestone is mostly dense and fine-grained. It is used above all for floors, stairs, sills and worktops, with some varieties also suited to facades and external paving.
