About the stone
Getting to know Omberg Red Flamed
A brown-red limestone from Omberg, its colour coming from red-oxidised calcite. Lighter and darker flames animate the surface; we supply it for vanities, sills and decorative interior details.
Where to use it
Omberg Red Flamed is mainly specified for interiors, worktops and tables and window sills. Limestone and marble are more sensitive to acids than granite; an impregnating sealer and pH-neutral cleaning keep the surface at its best.
Finishes
- honed: smooth and matt, shows the pattern, for interior floors
- 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.
