The textures of the limestone blocks give extra depth to the house
The most common material used in housing and infrastructure is brick and mortar. It is the most available and cheapest substance for a building. However, if you want to have a unique house for the onlookers than limestone blocks might be a good option for you.
Limestone is sedimentary rocks composed out of remains of mortal marine plants and animals like dead fish and corals. Years of decomposition, heat and earth pressure on these organisms eventually took the shape of rocks. Around 10% of sedimentary rocks present in the world constitute limestone. As the limestone forms on the place of water bodies, the composition also contains silica, clay, and silt brought down by the rivers. The colour variants of the limestone are imparted by the impurities existing during the sedimentation process. The impurities may be clay, sand particles, remains of the dead organisms, and iron oxide for which colours like beige, bluish grey, dark grey, tan, brown, yellow etc. are created.
From the ancient times itself, humans are using the limestone in constructional works. The evidence can be drawn from the limestone mix used on the exterior of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. Use of different variants of limestone can also be seen in Historical monuments like the Washington Monument, and Parthenon.
As the limestone is available in beige colours it can be mixed and matched with other colours of housing materials to give the perfect look. If you are a resident of Australia, you can opt for limestone blocks for your Bunbury beach house to give it an extra texture.
