Materials
Turkish Limestone
Even, fine-grained stones in beige and cream tones for façades, floors and profiled work.
Turkish limestones offer calm, consistent surfaces and work well for large areas, profiled elements and carved details.
Technical considerations
- Absorption varies widely between limestones; exterior use needs test data.
- Profiled and carved work is checked against a physical sample or mock-up.
- Anchoring details depend on thickness and flexural strength.
Technical information indicative
| Property | Typical range | Test |
|---|---|---|
| Density | 2.20 – 2.60 g/cm³ | EN 1936 |
| Water absorption | 1.0 – 5.0 % | EN 13755 |
| Flexural strength | 5 – 12 MPa | EN 12372 |
Values vary by quarry and block. Lot-specific test reports are requested from the supplier before approval.
Common questions about limestone
- Can Turkish limestone be used on façades?
- Dense limestones are used on façades, but absorption and strength vary widely between quarries. Test reports for water absorption, flexural strength and frost resistance should be checked before specifying.
- Is limestone suitable for carved or profiled elements?
- Fine-grained limestones are well suited to mouldings, sills and carved work. Profiles are confirmed on a sample piece before production.
