Hi all

We are about to re tile our kitchen and really like the look of Seashell limestone tiles.



my question is, is limestone good for kitchens? I've had a good old google today and really like this style of tile.

obv it will require sealing etc. Any horror stories?

should I be looking at another material?

FINALLY (sorry!) is £39 per m2 a good average price?

thanks all

Dave

This would be fine for your kitchen. I would try a buy this from a local supplier rather than from the web. And get a proffesional tiler to fix them. Ask to see some of his work. Or you could get a tiler from the forum to quote the job for you. Just make sure tiles are clean from grout residue before sealer is applied. Anymore questions ask away. Oh another quick one what is the substrate the tiles are going onto? Is there underfloor heating?

Hi mate, thanks for the reply

Hey.. i'm in Marden, near paddock wood... not a million miles from Heathfield! (Have played footie there)

Fancy the job!?

Can you reccomend any decent local tile suppliers?

cheers
Dave

Hiya

Yes went down to see them. Was served by a very eccentric older gentleman!

Looks like we will be going with them.

Fairly pricey, not sure if its the norm to ask for a good deal? or are their prices set in stone (pun intended )

Will prob go and order tomorrow thank you for the reccomendation!

Yes that would be the owner Eric (The Viking) he is Danish ...He does come across as being a bit mad!!
