Statement Flagstone: Cathedral Classic 40 x 60cm

A tumbled natural limestone in a grand 40 x 60cm flagstone — Cathedral Classic from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

The largest format in the Classic range, this 40 x 60cm flagstone makes a sweeping, elegant floor for kitchens, hallways and orangeries. Mellow neutral tones and tumbled edges lend it the settled beauty of reclaimed cathedral stone.

This is genuine quarried limestone — porous and requiring sealing — that, once protected, delivers robust, timeless flooring across internal and external spaces.

⚠ Installation & Care Tips

  • Sealing (essential): This is porous natural limestone. Seal with a quality impregnating stone sealer before grouting and again after laying, and reseal periodically to guard against staining.
  • Adhesive & Grout: Fix with a flexible white or natural stone adhesive and a soft, tonal grout on a full, solid bed. Avoid acidic or strongly cementitious grouts, which can mark limestone.
  • Cleaning: Sweep and mop with a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Never use vinegar, bleach or abrasive products, which will etch and dull the stone.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

How many tiles will I need?

Measure the area you're tiling in square metres, then multiply by the tiles-per-m² figure shown in the specification for your chosen size. We always recommend ordering around 10% extra for cuts and wastage — a little more for diagonal or patterned layouts. If you'd like it checked, our Ascot team is happy to work it through with you on 01344 620211.

Can limestone tiles be used on floors as well as walls?

Yes — natural limestone is suitable for both interior walls and floors and wears beautifully over time. It's a popular choice for hallways, kitchens and living spaces, where its soft, natural tones bring warmth and a timeless, characterful finish.

Do I need to seal limestone tiles?

Yes. Limestone is a natural, porous stone and should be sealed with a quality impregnating sealer before grouting and periodically thereafter. Sealing is especially important with limestone to guard against staining and water marks, and we're happy to recommend a suitable product for your installation.

Is limestone suitable for bathrooms and wet areas?

It is — limestone works well in bathrooms and wet areas once properly sealed and maintained. As limestone is sensitive to acids, we'd recommend avoiding acidic or abrasive cleaners and wiping up spills promptly to keep the surface looking its best.
