Crates can be organised according to:
- Building
- Floor
- Room
- Wall elevation
- Fireplace
- Lift lobby
- Reception area
- Hotel zone
- Installation sequence
This can reduce unnecessary handling at the project site.
Site Storage
Interior limestone panels should be stored:
- On stable supports
- Away from impact
- In dry and ventilated conditions
- According to crate labels
- Protected from construction chemicals
- Close to the installation sequence where practical
- Without trapping moisture
Large panels may require specialist lifting frames.
Interior Wall-Cladding Installation
Installation should be completed by experienced natural stone contractors.
A typical sequence may include:
- Checking the substrate
- Confirming wall dimensions
- Reviewing panel numbers
- Establishing control lines
- Installing support rails where required
- Dry fitting selected panels
- Applying approved adhesive or fixing systems
- Installing panels in sequence
- Controlling joints and alignment
- Completing corners and reveals
- Installing sealants or grout
- Cleaning the stone
- Protecting completed work
Construction Protection
Completed wall cladding should be protected from:
- Impact
- Paint
- Plaster
- Adhesives
- Scaffolding
- Furniture movement
- Metal grinding
- Acidic cleaners
- Construction dust
Protection materials should not stain or trap damaging moisture against the stone.
Limestone Sealing
A suitable limestone sealer may help reduce:
- Water absorption
- Food and drink stains
- Oil marks
- Cosmetic stains
- Dirt penetration
- Bathroom moisture staining
The sealer should:
- Be suitable for limestone
- Be suitable for the application
- Be tested on samples
- Avoid unwanted colour change
- Be compatible with the finish
- Allow vapour transmission where required
- Be maintained according to manufacturer instructions
Sealing does not make limestone completely stain proof or acid resistant.
Cleaning Interior Limestone Walls
Recommended practices include:
- Dust regularly with a soft cloth
- Use pH-neutral natural stone cleaners
- Clean spills promptly
- Avoid acidic cleaners
- Avoid vinegar
- Avoid harsh abrasive pads
- Use soft brushes on textured walls
- Test products before full application
- Keep bathroom ventilation effective
- Inspect joints periodically
Cleaning Textured Limestone Walls
Textured walls may collect more dust than smooth panels.
Cleaning may require:
- Soft vacuum attachments
- Soft brushes
- Microfibre cloths
- Low-moisture cleaning
- Limestone-compatible cleaners
- Professional cleaning for large walls
Aggressive pressure washing is generally unsuitable for interior cladding.
Acid Etching
Limestone contains calcium carbonate and is sensitive to acids.
Potential sources of etching include:
- Vinegar
- Lemon juice
- Wine
- Acidic bathroom cleaners
- Descaling products
- Some construction cleaners
- Grout-removal chemicals
Etching changes the stone surface and may require professional refinishing.
Repair and Replacement
Selected damaged panels may be:
- Repaired
- Refilled
- Rehoned
- Refinished
- Replaced
Keeping spare material from the original production batch is recommended because future limestone may vary in colour and fossil content.
