KOTA BLUE LIMESTONE RIVEN SAWN EDGE - Sample

Product Description

Experience the sophisticated elegance of Kota Blue Limestone with this sample offering — a smart, low-risk way to preview this premium natural stone in your actual outdoor setting before committing to larger quantities.

• Distinctive colour palette: This limestone features refined blue-grey tones with subtle green-grey undertones and delicate white flecking, offering an attractive steel-blue effect that deepens when wet.

• Riven surface with sawn edges: The finish combines the character of a natural riven texture (providing subtle variation and grip) with clean, machine sawn straight edges — delivering a high-end look suitable for both traditional and contemporary patios.

• Outdoor-rated natural stone: With calibrated thickness (typically around 22mm) and suitable for exterior use, this stone is frost-resistant and designed for outdoor paving applications — robust enough to withstand UK conditions.

• Try before you buy: Ordering the sample allows you to position it in your actual outdoor environment — in sunlight and shade, dry and wet, alongside your landscaping materials — so you can evaluate how tone, texture and finish respond in real life.

• Versatile in design: The cool blue-grey tones complement timber decking, dark metal furniture, crisp white or light-render walls, and lush greenery. The clean sawn edges lend themselves to tight joint installations for a modern aesthetic.

• Ease of maintenance: As with quality limestone paving, care is simple: regular sweeping, occasional rinsing with warm soapy water, and a gentle stiff brush if needed. While variation in natural stone is inherent and part of its beauty, correct installation and maintenance will ensure longevity.

Installation & care tips:

• Place the sample outdoors in both sun and shade, and view it when dry and wet, so you can judge the full appearance under different ambient conditions.

• For full-sized installation: ensure a well-prepared, level sub-base; use bedding or adhesive suitable for 22 mm calibrated limestone; maintain consistent joint widths; ensure proper drainage and edge detailing.

• When ordering full slabs: try to source from a single production batch (to minimise shade/texture variation) and consider allowing an extra ~10% material to cover cuts, waste and future replacements.

• Avoid harsh acid-based or abrasive cleaners on the surface; sweep frequently, rinse occasionally, and use a stiff brush for stubborn marks.

Summary:
