Find answers to commonly asked customer questions about this countertop material
Q: What are limestone countertops made of?
A: Limestone countertops are made from natural sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate. Limestone forms from the accumulation of shell, coral, algal, and fecal debris in marine environments, giving it a unique, natural appearance.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Do limestone countertops require sealing?
A: Yes, limestone countertops are porous and require sealing to protect against stains and spills. It is recommended to seal limestone countertops every 6-12 months, depending on usage and the type of sealer used.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: How do limestone countertops compare to granite countertops?
A: Limestone is softer and more porous than granite, making it more susceptible to scratching, staining, and etching. Granite is harder, more durable, and requires less maintenance. Limestone offers a more rustic and natural look with unique fossil patterns.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Can limestone countertops withstand heat?
A: Limestone countertops have moderate heat resistance but are not as heat-resistant as granite or quartzite. It is advisable to use trivets or hot pads to prevent potential damage from hot pots and pans.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: What should I do if my limestone countertop chips or scratches?
A: Limestone is softer and can chip or scratch more easily than harder stones. Minor scratches can often be buffed out with fine sandpaper. For larger chips or cracks, it is best to contact a professional for repair or replacement.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Are limestone countertops scratch-resistant?
A: Limestone is not as scratch-resistant as harder stones like granite or quartzite. Using cutting boards is essential to prevent scratches and protect the surface.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: How should I clean and maintain limestone countertops?
A: Clean limestone countertops with a pH-neutral cleaner or mild dish soap and warm water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using acidic or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the stone. Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Can limestone countertops be used outdoors?
A: Limestone is not ideal for outdoor use due to its susceptibility to weathering and staining from exposure to the elements. Prolonged exposure to sun, rain, and temperature changes can degrade the surface over time.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: How do limestone countertops compare to marble countertops?
A: Limestone is similar to marble in its softness and susceptibility to scratching and staining. Both require regular sealing and maintenance. Marble offers a more polished, elegant appearance, while limestone provides a more rustic, natural look.
By CountertopSmart Product ExpertQ: Are limestone countertops environmentally friendly?
A: Limestone countertops are considered environmentally friendly as they are made from natural stone. However, the quarrying process can have environmental impacts. Choosing locally sourced limestone can reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation.
