Description

Contemporary Precision: Palio 7x30.5cm Limestone

Experience the perfect blend of modern geometry and ancient geology with the Palio 7x30.5cm Limestone Tile—a sophisticated stone format designed for precision and elegance.

While sharing the same creamy hues and beautiful **seashell figuring** as the rest of the Palio collection, this tile stands out for its contemporary **diamond sawn edge**. Unlike tumbled stone which has soft, chipped edges, a diamond sawn finish allows for cleaner, straighter grout lines, creating a sharper and more modern aesthetic. The elongated **7cm x 30.5cm format** is incredibly versatile—ideal for laying in a herringbone pattern on floors or a vertical stack on bathroom walls. Finished with a smooth **honed surface**, it reflects light softly to enhance the natural warmth of the stone.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • Sealing is Essential: Palio Limestone is porous and must be sealed before and after grouting. We recommend a high-quality impregnating sealer (like Lithofin MN Stainstop) to protect against water and organic stains without changing the stone's appearance.
  • Use White Adhesive: Always use a White flexible tile adhesive. Standard grey adhesive can show through the light-coloured limestone, causing it to look dull or dirty.
  • Diamond Sawn Edge: Because the edges are straight cut, you can use a narrower grout joint (around 3mm) compared to tumbled stone. However, ensure your substrate is perfectly flat as lippage will be more noticeable with straight edges.
  • Cleaning: Use only pH-neutral cleaners specifically designed for natural stone. Avoid acidic cleaners, vinegar, or bleach as these will etch the surface.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Diamond Sawn Edge" mean?

It means the edges of the tile have been cut with a precision diamond blade to create a clean, straight line. This contrasts with "tumbled" or "chipped" edges, giving the finished floor or wall a crisper, more contemporary look.

Is this real stone?

Yes, this is genuine natural limestone. It features authentic fossils, seashells, and geological markings formed over thousands of years, offering a unique character that porcelain cannot match.

Does it need sealing?

Yes. Natural limestone is porous. To prevent absorption of water, oils, and dirt, it must be sealed upon installation. We recommend sealing once before grouting and once after grouting for maximum protection.

Can I use it on a shower floor?

Yes. While the honed surface is smooth, the grout lines in this smaller format tile provide extra grip. It is suitable for wet room floors provided the substrate is correctly tanked and the stone is properly sealed.

Why buy from Hyperion Tiles?

We are a family-run business with years of experience in natural stone. We can guide you through the specific installation requirements—such as choosing the right white adhesive and grout colour—to ensure your limestone installation remains beautiful for decades.
