Limestone is a widely used architectural stone. Many of the world’s most recognized and loved landmarks, including the Great Pyramids, are constructed from this versatile, attractive stone. Limestone occurs in nature in varying degrees of hardness – some varieties are extremely soft – and like marble, limestone is very susceptible to acids, which can scratch and damage it.
Caring for limestone effectively requires specialized knowledge because many types of limestone are extremely soft. Some varieties of limestone, particularly the softer varieties, need to be professionally cleaned and sealed from time to time. The Marble Restoration Company of Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley’s professionally trained technicians can refurbish any scratched, etched, cracked, or damaged limestone and restore it to its original condition. Our 40 years of experience have enabled us to develop special processes to hone and/or polish and seal limestone to maximize its beauty and durability.
