2. Limestone and Lime stone:
Lime stone is the early term for limestone, which belongs to natural limestone. It is formed by the impact and fusion of rock fragments, shells, corals, and other marine organisms under the seabed billions of years ago, as well as long-term crustal collision, compression, and sedimentation. Their main component is calcium carbonate (CaCO3), which is directly translated as limestone in English. That means Limestone is limestone.
02 Characteristics of Limestone
Compared to granite, limestone has lower strength and density, and has begun to rise and be applied in exterior wall engineering in China, with less mention in design specifications.
In Europe and North America, the unique exterior effect of limestone is highly favored by architects and is also widely used in exterior wall engineering. Limestone has many distinctive natural features, such as the patterns or spots of calcite, fossil or shell structures, pits, slender tissues, open textures, honeycomb structures, iron spots, structures similar to limestone, and crystal differences.
It is these characteristics that give limestone natural sensory and rich layering properties. Generally, Smooth Polished or Honed ( matte ) surfaces are used, and Bush hammered finish is rarely used due to its soft texture.
03 Differences and Connections
Due to the fact that the single variety of Portuguese beige has been introduced to China for a long time and promoted quickly, there are relatively more people who know and are familiar with Portuguese beige. And the coverage range of limestone is wider, which can be divided into several color series: gray limestone, brown limestone, beige limestone, white limestone, and off white limestone.
Lime stone has been a trendy term in the past year or two, sounding more fashionable. So Portugal beige limestone can also be called lime stone.
