Limestone in the bathroom - a good or bad idea? |
Article Number: 548 | Rating: Unrated | Last Updated: Wed, Sep 26, 2007 at 12:00 AM |
Dear Maurizio Firstly thank you for this fantastic site and your wonderful advice. I am in the UK and teetering on the brink of ordering White Pearl Polished Limestone for the bathroom floor and splashbacks but am having second thoughts after reading though your site. I having tried to read as many posts here as possible but can't seem to find an answer to these questions. So here goes - Is this stone or indeed limestone in general a good or bad idea in the bathroom? If it is a bad idea polished then how about honed? If it is good what exactly should I do before I get it installed and with what products? Also - I love a bright white look but honed travertine is quite dark. What stone would you suggest for floors and what stone for wet rooms that is light and bright? Many thanks - ur a star ....
Dear Cleone:
Why, thank you for your nice words!
As for this polished White Pearl limestone it appears to be exclusively an English thing. I Googled it and I found a few different White Pearl stones: 1 marble coming from
So I really don't know what to tell you.
Personally, this side of travertine and a few (very few) selected limestones, I wouldn't consider using limestone (polished or honed it doesn't matter) in a bathroom if they'd pay me to get it! Especially, like in this case, if I can't even gather any intelligence about a specific limestone. I'm no gambler, thank you very much!
Why don't you consider polished or hone-finished white marble instead?... No problems there!
Other than that,
I'm strictly a mechanic, so, please, leave me out of the decorating business; I'm even 25% colorblind, for crying out loud!
