About the stone
Getting to know Gotland Bro
A classic Swedish limestone from Bro on central Gotland, formed more than 430 million years ago. Warm beige to pink tones, fossils and bedding lines give it a soft, living character; it has served churches and manor houses for centuries.
Where to use it
Gotland Bro is mainly specified for facades, external paving, interior flooring, stair treads 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
- antiqued: brushed and aged, with softened edges
- brushed: softly textured and pleasant underfoot
- honed: smooth and matt, shows the pattern, for interior floors
- planed: matt with a light texture
- sawn: dimensionally accurate and flat
Origin and geology
Gotland is an island of limestone, laid down more than 400 million years ago in a warm sea, with fossils and bedding lines often visible in the stone.
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.
