The Natural Metro: Palio 10x20cm Limestone

Discover the perfect balance of classic format and organic luxury with the Palio 10x20cm Limestone Tile—a sophisticated natural stone that elevates the traditional brick tile.

Crafted from authentic Palio limestone, this tile displays a beautiful array of creamy hues, fine sand grains, and unique seashell figuring created over millennia. The compact 10cm x 20cm format offers endless design possibilities, from traditional brick-bond splashbacks to intricate herringbone floors. Unlike rustic tumbled stone, this edition features a diamond sawn edge for clean, straight lines and a precision finish. The surface is honed to a smooth matte sheen, providing a tactile softness that transforms any kitchen or bathroom into a sanctuary.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • Sealing is Essential: Palio Limestone is porous and must be sealed to prevent absorption of water and stains. We recommend sealing once before grouting and once after grouting with a high-quality impregnator (e.g., Lithofin MN Stainstop).
  • Use White Adhesive: Always use a White flexible tile adhesive. Grey adhesive can show through the light-coloured limestone, causing it to look muddy or dull.
  • Natural Variation: This is a natural product. Shade, veining, and fossilisation will vary significantly. We recommend mixing tiles from different boxes to create a harmonious blend.
  • Cleaning: Use only pH-neutral cleaners specifically designed for natural stone. Avoid acidic cleaners (like vinegar) or bleach, as these will etch the surface.

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.
