Limestone Insights

Did you know that limestone is one of the most versatile and popular building materials in the world? It is made up of calcite from shells, coral, and other debris and is classified as a sedimentary rock. Limestone quarries are found all over the globe, from France and Egypt to the United Kingdom, China, Germany, and the United States. The largest quarry in the world is located in Rogers City, Michigan.
Limestone has been used for centuries. The Great Sphinx and the Great Pyramids of Egypt, the Arc de Triomphe in France, the Colosseum in Rome, and even the Pentagon are all clad in limestone. Not only does it add beauty and durability to any structure, but it is also easily restorable. This makes it a great investment that will continue to look beautiful for many years to come.

Limestone repair, polishing, protection, and maintenance

Limestone Repair

Do you have chipped limestone tiles? Are there cracks in your floor or countertops? What about broken limestone tiles? Before you replace your limestone, consider having LaCasse Stone And Tile Care provide expert limestone repair services. LaCasse Stone And Tile Care can fill holes in limestone, fix limestone cracks and chips, blending the repair site with the surrounding area, then honing or polishing it to match the finish on the rest of your limestone floor, countertop or other limestone surfaces.

Deep Cleaning and Sanitizing Limestone

Limestone cleaning processes vary based on the surface condition and type of dirt or oil being removed. Limestone is easier to keep clean with periodic professional deep cleaning services, using non-acidic, highly-effective cleaning solutions. However, once wear sets in, creating hollows and low points where dirt can collect, your limestone can become more difficult to keep clean. LaCasse Stone And Tile Care can assist you in not only cleaning your limestone surfaces, but in keeping your limestone properly polished, maintained, and free of scratches to help make regular cleaning and care of your stone easier.

Limestone Stain Removal

LaCasse Stone And Tile Care can remove stains on your limestone, as well as limestone discolorations. Whether you are seeking guidance on how to do this yourself (refer to our Stain Management App) or want LaCasse Stone And Tile Care to treat your limestone, most stains can be successfully removed and the finish restored to new again.

Limestone Refinishing

Is your limestone floor too dull or too shiny? Call LaCasse Stone And Tile Care and specify the look you want. If your new floor has some tiles that look more glossy than others, LaCasse Stone And Tile Care can even out the finish for you. Whether you have or are seeking to acquire a gloss, semi-gloss or matte finish, LaCasse Stone And Tile Care can deliver a beautifully restored limestone finish.

Limestone Honing

Are wear patterns, scratches, etches or spots dulling the once gorgeous surface of your limestone? LaCasse Stone And Tile Care can hone your limestone surfaces to eliminate these imperfections, resulting in a new limestone surface free of damage. With our limestone honing services, our expert technicians can achieve a honed or soft matte finish that is warm, inviting, and velvety smooth.

Limestone Polishing

An uneven finish, dull spots or etches can diminish the earthy appearance of your limestone floors. LaCasse Stone And Tile Care can polish your limestone using the appropriate diamonds or polishing powders to restore the finish you want, whether matte, semi-gloss or gloss finish. With our limestone polishing services, our expert technicians can achieve a beautiful, glass-like polish.

Lippage Removal/Grinding

Are your tiles uneven? Do you want your tile floor flattened to the grout lines to facilitate easier cleaning? LaCasse Stone And Tile Care can grind away the excess stone (a process called lippage removal) to create a flat, level surface using state-of-the art diamond grinding technology. Once flattened, the limestone is honed and polished to the finish you want.

Sealing & Protecting

Limestone needs a little extra protection to inhibit stains and etching. We can treat your limestone with premium quality solutions…

Impregnating Sealers

Some natural stone types are more porous than others and the more porous the natural stone is, the more susceptible it is to staining. Your limestone will be easier to keep clean with periodic professional deep cleaning services, using non-acidic, highly effective cleaning solutions. Once your limestone is cleaned and restored, LaCasse Stone And Tile Care will recommend you have us seal it to enhance its stain resistance. Sealing represents an inexpensive, preventive measure against stain damage because it buys you time to wipe up spills before they become stains.
For limestone counters and tops, we offer state-of-the-art protection treatments.

Anti-Etch Treatments for Limestone Counters and tops

We offer options to protect your limestone tops from etching. Limestone is acid sensitive….When your limestone tops are protected from stains and etching, you don’t have to worry about choosing limestone for your kitchens, bar tops, vanity tops or where acid etching is a concern. (Learn more.)
