Vieux Bourgogne Limestone

Absolutely. Vieux Bourgogne is a highly dense and durable natural limestone, making it an exceptional choice for high-traffic areas like family kitchens, hallways, and boot rooms. Its heavily textured, aged finish is also incredibly forgiving when it comes to hiding everyday dust and footprints.

Yes. Because it is a genuine natural stone, Vieux Bourgogne Limestone is naturally porous. To protect its beautiful historic tones from moisture and everyday household spills, you must seal the flagstones with a high-quality stone impregnator or stain block both before grouting and again after installation.

The flagstones in the Vieux Bourgogne collection are supplied with a fixed width (typically 60cm), but the lengths of the individual tiles will vary randomly within the crates. Laying stone in this traditional "free length" pattern breaks up rigid grid lines, ensuring the finished floor looks highly authentic, organic, and truly bespoke—exactly as a historic flagstone floor should.

Yes. Natural limestone acts as an outstanding thermal mass. These dense stone tiles will efficiently absorb the heat from your electric or water-based underfloor heating system and slowly radiate it back into the room, creating a wonderfully warm and comfortable surface throughout the colder months.

Once properly sealed, maintenance is wonderfully straightforward. Sweep or vacuum the floor regularly to remove abrasive grit. For wet cleaning, use a damp mop with a specialist, pH-neutral natural stone cleaner. You should strictly avoid harsh supermarket bleaches or acidic cleaners, as these will gradually strip the sealant and can etch the surface of the limestone.
