Material Info

Origin of Our Black Limestone

Black limestone, commonly referred to as Kota Black or Kadappa Black, is predominantly quarried in the southern regions of India, particularly in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. In Andhra Pradesh, the town of Kadapa (also spelled Cuddapah) is renowned for its production of Kadappa Black Limestone, characterized by its deep black coloration and fine-grained texture.

This limestone is highly esteemed for its durability and aesthetic appeal, making it a popular choice for various architectural and design applications.

In Tamil Nadu, black limestone is also extracted, contributing to the region's reputation as a significant source of this natural stone. The limestone from these areas is known for its consistent quality and is widely used in both domestic and international markets.

The extraction and processing of black limestone in these regions involve traditional quarrying methods, ensuring the preservation of the stone's natural characteristics. The industry provides employment opportunities to local communities and plays a vital role in the regional economy.

Overall, the black limestone from southern India is celebrated for its rich color, durability, and versatility, making it a preferred material for flooring, wall cladding, paving, and various other construction and design projects.

Black Limestone Paving – Our Most Affordable Natural Stone Option

Black Limestone Paving offers a striking yet cost-effective solution for creating elegant outdoor spaces. As the most affordable paving option in our range, this natural stone is perfect for budget-conscious buyers seeking a timeless and sophisticated look. Its unique charcoal tones deepen to a rich black when wet or sealed with a colour-enhancing sealer, creating a versatile aesthetic for modern and traditional designs alike.

While Black Limestone provides an elegant surface, it’s important to note that this stone naturally features quartz veins and "fool’s gold" inclusions, adding subtle detail and character to each slab. Over time, if left untreated, the stone may fade to a softer grey, making sealing an essential step to maintain its rich appearance.

FAQs - Black Limestone Paving

Do Black Limestone Slabs Have Consistent Thickness?

Typically, these slabs are calibrated to a thickness of 22mm. However, due to the natural properties of Limestone, there can be a tolerance of up to +/- 4mm

What Is the Edge Detail on These Limestone Pavers?

The edge detail on these limestone pavers is machine sawn, providing a clean, precise finish for a sleek and uniform look. However, it’s important to note that the sawn edge can sometimes result in minor chips being visible, especially when the stones are still in the original packaging. These chips are typically hidden once the pavers are laid and grouted, but they are there due to the nature of the product. The stones are packed side by side in a crate, which means they can rub together during transit. While wrapping each slab individually would prevent this, it wouldn’t be economically viable.

Will wet stone look different in colour?

Yes, natural stone often appears darker when wet because water enhances its natural colour and pattern. This effect is temporary and returns to normal as the stone dries.

How to Make This Stone Stay a Deep Black Colour?

To maintain a deep black colour, we recommend sealing the stone with a high-quality stone sealant designed for darker stones. This will help prevent fading caused by UV exposure and weathering. Regular cleaning with a pH-neutral cleaner will also keep the surface looking vibrant. Avoid harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners, as they can cause discoloration over time.

Can You Use Acid to Clean This Product?

No, we do not recommend using acid to clean this product. Acidic cleaners can damage the stone, causing discoloration and surface degradation. Instead, use a pH-neutral cleaner to maintain the stone’s appearance and longevity.

What Natural Markings Can You Find in Black Limestone?

Black limestone often features natural markings such as white quartz veins, which can appear as subtle streaks or patches running through the stone. You may also find traces of fool's gold (pyrite), which can create small golden flecks or sparkles, adding to the stone's unique charm. These natural inclusions and veins are a hallmark of black limestone, giving each piece its individual character and enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
