“A richly colored, rustic limestone with a naturally tumbled finish, Bordeaux Black Parquet is inspired by antique flooring and works beautifully for parquet patterns or brick-style designs. As tiles are not designed to lay seamlessly, grout lines may be uniquely inconsistent. Suitable for both interior and exterior spaces, including wet areas.”
Sought after for its luster, hardness and rich, layered history, Limestone brings a timeless sophistication to any space, with a vast selection of color, tone, patina and texture – including the tiniest of embedded fossilized creatures that lived millions of years ago.
Discover the artistry and elegance of French limestone.
From a mass of tiny sea creatures to an ancient seabed, and millions of years later set into a mountainside, the newly quarried French limestone is broken into slabs, cut into tiles, and polished to a smooth surface or lightly brushed to enhance its natural texture.
French limestone is incredibly diverse in color. With over 64 quarries throughout France, popular colors range from soft creams to beige, to more earthy tones such as grey and black.
The Antique French limestone collection includes reclaimed French pavers sourced from historic manors and farmhouses across France, dating as far back as the 13th century, such as the historic Dalle de Bourgogne. Generations of wear that have resulted in uniquely uneven surfaces, for a natural, lived-in patina.
