Yet another natural stone flooring option is limestone. Bringing a rustic look into the home, limestone has been used for hundreds of years and goes well with wooden or antique furniture. Limestone is, however, soft among stone flooring options. Therefore it requires sealants and some maintenance to prevent staining and stave off wear and tear.
Limestone should never be cleaned with highly acidic cleansers or those containing bleach because they will discolor the tiles over time. Limestone should be cleaned regularly with warm water or a combination of water and a neutral floor cleaner that is specifically designed for limestone floors. Because of its maintenance demands, limestone is generally avoided in kitchens and bathrooms. If you want limestone in your kitchen, try it on the countertop.
Limestone tiles come in a variety of sizes and a relatively simple color range. Most common are muted earth tones varying from beige to rust-red.

I would like to say a few words of praise concerning Mark with Pyne Construction. Mark Pyne came through for us when no one else would. We were in a situation where we needed to sell my mothers home and had a bundle of construction issues that most contractors couldn't bother with. He not only took the work on but gave us Top Notch quality to boot. I would not hesitate to work with him again and I recommend him to anyone who has a project that requires quality and prompt attention.
This is just a quick note to thank you for your excellent work on my new bathroom. The custom shower is exactly what I wanted, and the remodeling utilizes the limited space perfectly. Again, thanks.
