About the stone
Getting to know Borghamn Light Grey
The lightest of the Borghamn limestones from the eastern shore of Lake Vättern, where limestone has been quarried for more than 900 years. Its fossils give an even surface a quiet life, ideal for Scandinavian interiors.
Where to use it
Borghamn Light Grey 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.
Finishes
- brushed: softly textured and pleasant underfoot
- 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.
