Limestone is a natural stone that is made from a sedimentary rock, composed mainly of calcium carbonate or dolomite, used as a building material. Limestone is dense and does not wear easily, which makes itgreat for flooring and exterior applications

Limestone is a naturally occurring mineral complex that contains varying quantities of quartz (crystalline silica). Limestone may be subjected to various natural or mechanical forces that produce small particles (dust) which may contain respirable crystalline silica (particles less than 10 micrometers in

limestone. Such limestone contains 10 to 40% MgCO 3. Limestones altered by dynamic or contact metamorphism become coarsely crystalline and are referred to as 'marbles' and 'crystalline limestones'. Other common varieties of limestones are 'marl', 'oolite' (oolitic limestone), shelly limestone, algal limestone, coral

Limestone can be categorized as either high calcium or dolomitic. Pure high-calcium limestone is 100 percent calcium carbonate (100 percent calcite or aragonite). Generally, limestone of this purity does not occur naturally. High-quality, high-calcium limestone would actually contain 97 to 99 percent calcium carbonate and 1 to 3 percent impurities

Limestone as one of the oldest minerals due to its very enduring geological evolution possesses different forms in nature and exhibits different colors. Its properties such as hardness, compactness, imperviousness, and durability have a significant role to play when it

This specification of Limestone contains Ry (luminous reflectance factor) and also L*, a*, and b* ( Lab color space) that are defined in the German Standard DIN. It has an additional number that is used in combination with the brightness, which is called the yellowness index

The Limestone Contractor shall submit through the General Contractor, for approval by the Specifying Authority, at least two sets of samples of the various kinds of limestone specified. The sample size shall be 1'-0 x 1'-0 and shall represent approximately the finish, texture, and

Limestone: A sedimentary rock consisting primarily of calcium carbonate, often in the form of the minerals calcite or aragonite, and sometimes with magnesium carbonate in the form of dolomite. Minor amounts of silica, feldspar, pyrite, and clay may also be present. Limestone can occur in many colors but is usually white, gray, or black

Nov 04, 2016 The purpose of this guide specification is to assist the specifier in correctly specifying exterior limestone cladding and its installation. The specifier needs to edit this guide specification to fit the needs of each specific project. Throughout the guide specification, there are Specifier Notes to assist in the editing of this guide specification

Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed by the consolidation of sediments, seashells and other organic matter. This calcareous stone forms our largest product range. Each Limestone exhibits its own characteristic colours and markings and can vary greatly in density. Some
