Limestone Tiles - Green Should be Grey Advice Please - TilersForums.com

[Neville]

Hello I have just had some Umbrian limestone tiles laid 32sqm (840*56 and 56*56 22mm Thick) These tiles are described as

"Umbrian limestone has a textured surface which looks well-worn and will last for many years to come. Hand-dressed edges and a soft riven surface give this stone a hand-crafted quality which makes an impressive statement in any space. This grey coloured stone has pleasing subtle colour variation, from earthy umber tones to lichen yellow, making for a very natural looking floor"

Now in general that's correct but several of the tiles after cleaning and sealing seem to be very green, is there anything like a tinted sealer or anything else I can do to tone down the green?


thanks

No, afraid not. There are colour enhancing sealers but this will likely make your issue worse, not better I'm afraid.

It is after all a natural product and prone to shading.. And yes even the odd green shaded one..
