About the stone
Getting to know Jämtland Limestone Red
A limestone in a dark, warm red from Brunflo just south of Östersund, with fine veins and small shifts in tone. Honed it turns a deep red-brown; planed or antiqued it becomes lighter and softer.
Where to use it
Jämtland Limestone Red is mainly specified for interior flooring, stair treads, facades, 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
- antiqued: brushed and aged, with softened edges
- sandblasted: finely roughened and evenly matt
- brushed: softly textured and pleasant underfoot
- honed: smooth and matt, shows the pattern, for interior floors
- flamed: rough and slip resistant, for external paving and steps
- planed: matt with a light texture
- bush-hammered: evenly textured, the classic finish for squares and plinths
- polished: deepens the colour, for interiors and facade details
