Limestone Hearth FAQs

Do I have to seal a Limestone Hearth?

Sealing is strongly recommended because limestone is naturally porous. Protective sealing helps prevent scratching and staining and makes cleaning much easier.

How do I clean and care for a Limestone Hearth?

Use a soft cloth or brush and a pH-neutral stone cleaner (mild washing-up liquid works). Avoid acidic products, bleach or wire brushes, which can etch the surface. Wipe spills quickly, dust weekly and deep-clean with a poultice for stubborn soot or wine marks. Protect from prolonged direct sunlight to minimise fading.

Are Limestone Hearths safe for wood-burning, multi-fuel and gas stoves?

Yes. Limestone is classed as a non-combustible material, so it’s suitable for all three appliance types.

Will Black Limestone fade or lighten over time?

Like all natural stone, black limestone can mellow slightly, especially in bright south-facing rooms. Regular sealing and keeping blinds closed during peak UV will preserve its deep colour. If it does lighten, a colour-enhancing sealer can revive the tone.

Do You Provide Samples Before I Order a Custom Hearth?
