Are pores normal in limestone?
Yes. Natural pores are common characteristics of many limestone materials.
Are fossils normal in Turkish limestone?
Yes. Fossils and shell fragments are natural geological features and are not automatically defects.
Can pores be filled?
Depending on the stone and specification, pores may be left open, factory filled or filled during installation.
Can exact colour uniformity be guaranteed?
No. Limestone is natural and varies. Colour can be managed within an approved range, but complete artificial uniformity should not be expected.
Can stone be colour blended?
Yes. Material can be blended by building, elevation, floor, room, pool or landscape zone.
Can full-size samples be provided?
Yes. Full-size finish samples, profiles and mock-up pieces may be produced where included in the project scope.
Can panels be dry laid before shipment?
Yes. Selected flooring, walls, fireplaces, pool coping and architectural elements can be dry laid or trial assembled.
Can every piece be numbered?
Yes. Custom stone can be numbered according to its installation location.
Can products be packaged by building or zone?
Yes. Crates can be organised by building, elevation, room, villa, pool or installation phase.
Is Turkish limestone suitable for cold climates?
Selected limestone may be suitable, but freeze–thaw performance, saturation, drainage and installation must be evaluated.
Is Turkish limestone suitable for hot climates?
Yes. Light-coloured limestone is widely used in warm climates, but thermal movement and surface temperature should be considered.
Can Turkish limestone be used in coastal projects?
Yes, provided salt exposure, corrosion-resistant fixings, drainage and maintenance are addressed.
Does limestone need sealing?
Sealing depends on the stone, finish and application. A compatible breathable sealer may help reduce staining.
Is limestone resistant to acids?
No. Limestone is sensitive to acidic substances and cleaners.
How should Turkish limestone be cleaned?
Use pH-neutral natural stone cleaners and avoid vinegar, acidic chemicals and uncontrolled aggressive cleaning.
Can damaged limestone be repaired?
Some damage may be repaired, filled, refinished or replaced depending on the product and condition.
Should spare material be ordered?
Keeping spare stone from the original production batch is recommended for future repairs and replacements.
Can technical test information be supplied?
Available test information depends on the limestone and project requirements. Required tests should be specified before material approval.
