Limestone vs Concrete | Countertop Comparison

Limestone is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate. It is known for uniquely having ancient aquatic fossils embedded it as a result of being formed in clear, warm, shallow marine waters. There are many limestone–forming environments around Earth, such as the Caribbean Sea, Indian Ocean, Persian Gulf, Gulf of Mexico, around Pacific Ocean islands and within the Indonesian archipelago. Limestone is slightly softer and more porous than marble, so avoiding areas that experience a high traffic flow, particularly with acidic liquids, is best. Limestone will look fantastic as a bathroom vanity or bath surround because it provides a “beachy” look from impressions left on the stone by aquatic fossils and shells. It typically comes in natural colors such as grey, tan or brown and has a solid overall appearance. Its visual versatility makes it easy to accommodate any design scheme, which makes Limestone is especially perfect for renovations. Concrete countertops are constructed from general-purpose mortar mix, which is one part cement and three parts sand. In order for these counters to appear more appealing than standard concrete sidewalks, additional colors are added. Although concrete provides an interesting industrial look, it has many disadvantages, some of which can be extremely expensive and cumbersome. Concrete must be sealed or it can be damaged by water. Not only will it stain if water seeps in, concrete will harbor bacteria, making in unsanitary and dangerous to prepare food on. Even with the proper sealing, moisture or oil can cause the countertop to look like it is wet. Concrete countertops are also rather expensive, and can cost more than average natural stone countertops. --- Visit our website: https://marble.com Check out our new video site: https://marble.com/tv Subscribe to Marble.com TV Channel:    / marbletvchannel   Like us on Facebook:   / marbledotcom   Follow us on Instagram:   / marbledotcom   Follow us on Twitter:   / marbledotcom   Follow us on Pinterest:   / marbledotcom   Buy stone care products from MrStone.com: https://mrstone.com/index.php?main_pa...

Additionally, variations of natural stones are an organic occurrence. Differences such as color variations, small stress fractures, blemishes, and varying grain directions develop over thousands of years in the Earth’s crust. Each type of stone acts differently, which is why it is important to view them in person before purchasing.
