  • Beside façade materials
  • Under expected exterior conditions

Colour-Range Approval

Natural limestone may vary in:

  • Colour

Limestone is naturally porous.

Water absorption may influence:

  • Staining
  • Darkening when wet
  • Pool exposure
  • Salt exposure
  • Organic growth
  • Sealer selection

  • Open porosity
  • Compressive strength
  • Flexural strength
  • Modulus of rupture
  • Abrasion resistance

Exact requirements should be confirmed by qualified project professionals before material approval and production.

One test result should not automatically be treated as proof of suitability for every product dimension, climate or installation system.

Limestone Sealing

A compatible breathable natural stone sealer may be considered depending on:

  • Stone porosity
  • Surface finish
  • Interior or exterior use
  • Pool exposure
  • Salt exposure

  • Maintenance expectations

The treatment should:

  • Be suitable for limestone
  • Be tested on samples

  • Be compatible with adhesives and grout

Sealing does not make limestone waterproof, acid proof, salt proof or completely stain proof.

  • Descaling chemicals
  • Some pool chemicals
  • Construction cleaners
  • Acid washing

Acid exposure may cause etching, dull marks or discolouration.

No natural stone should be assumed to remain cool under every condition.

Can limestone be used in coastal areas?

Yes, provided salt exposure, drainage, cleaning and corrosion-resistant fixings are addressed.

Can limestone be used in tropical regions?

Selected stone may be suitable when rainfall, humidity, organic growth, drainage and maintenance are considered.

Can limestone be used in bushfire-prone areas?

The stone may form part of a professionally designed system, but the complete building or façade assembly must meet applicable project requirements.

Does DMR Limestone certify bushfire compliance?
