Honed limestone tiles cut as hexagons at 5 25/32 by 5 inches. Sixteen pieces per box cover 2.4 square feet. A threshold 4x36 matches, and the same stone runs through four other formats.
Six sides in a quiet stone
Limestone has an even texture and small fossil traces instead of the veining marble carries, which makes it a good match for a shape that already does plenty of work. White limestone tiles in a hexagon read as pattern from across a room and as texture up close. Honing leaves the surface matte, and on a pale stone that finish also hides the wear path that a polish would eventually show. Paris is stocked as a 12x24, an 18x18, a small 2 3/4x5 1/2 and three mosaic designs. Sixteen pieces to a box is not many, so count the area carefully and order the spares in the same run rather than later.
- 0.15 sq ft a piece Sixteen pieces, 2.4 square feet a box.
- A wider range Tiles, mosaics, a waterjet leaf and a threshold in Paris.
Backsplash is the rating on file, with bathroom as the room. Backsplash tiles in a hexagon need the top row thought through, since a hexagon does not finish on a straight line without being cut. Twenty nine boxes would be needed for 60 square feet, a function of the small coverage per box. Limestone is porous, so a penetrating sealer goes on once it is fixed.
- Plan the top row Hexagons need cutting to finish on a straight line.
- Seal it Porous stone takes a penetrating sealer after fitting.
Why we chose it
- Shape and stone agree An even limestone lets the hexagon do the talking.
- Matching threshold A 4x36 in the same Paris limestone.
- Wears quietly Honed limestone hides traffic marks better than polished.
Care
Seal after installation and reseal every one to two years where it stays damp. Clean with a pH neutral stone cleaner only, because acid etches limestone quickly.
