Semi White Limestone Blocks For Flooring & Wall

Semi White Limestone Blocks  are among the global construction and stone industry's most versatile raw material exports — a high-purity, micro-crystalline sedimentary stone quarried from ancient, marine-deposited geological strata. Its hallmark is a uniform, soft off-white to cream-ivory backdrop subtly enriched with natural shell fossils, delicate calcite speckling, and gentle warm-toned shading, exuding a clean, organic, and timeless architectural appeal. Formed through gradual marine calcification and compaction over tens of millions of years, Semi White Limestone is classified among the most structurally consistent and easily workable architectural limestones commercially available, offering balanced density, excellent thermal insulation, and exceptional acoustic damping. Its homogeneous structural composition, excellent block soundness, and soft chromatic elegance make these raw blocks the material of choice for large-scale exterior facade cladding, carved architectural stonework, cut-to-size paving, and interior wall paneling projects worldwide.

General Specifications

• Category: Limestone Sedimentary Natural Stone
• Color: Soft off-white, light cream, to pale ivory backdrop featuring micro-fossilized marine inclusions and subtle warm beige undertones
• Surface Finish Available: Saw-Cut (Raw Block) / Honed / Bush-Hammered / Brushed / Tumbled / Sandblasted / Line-Chiseled
• Block Form: Raw Quarry Block / Sawn-Cut Block
• Texture: Fine-to-medium grained, porous sedimentary calcite matrix; soft and tactile natural texture with high architectural workability
• Density: 2.35 – 2.50 g/cm³ (Medium-high sedimentary material density; solid structural integrity)
• Water Absorption: 1.50 – 2.80% (Moderate porosity — standard for natural limestone; easily sealed for enhanced weather and stain resistance)
• Compressive Strength: 55 – 85 MPa (Reliable load-bearing strength — highly suited for exterior facade systems, carved columns, and paving)
• Abrasion Resistance: Medium — excellent performance for exterior wall cladding, feature facades, and low-to-medium traffic floor installations

Processing & Machinery Assessment

GANGSAW & DISK SAW SUITABILITY

This block has been assessed as exceptionally well-suited for modern limestone gangsaws, large-diameter circular disk saws, and diamond wire-cutting machinery. Standard block dimensions of L-260 cm × B-150 cm × H-140 cm offer an ideal geometry for efficient gangsaw mounting and maximum net block utilization. Semi White Limestone’s uniform calcite structure and absence of hard silica nodules allow for fast, low-vibration cutting with minimal blade wear and exceptionally smooth sawed surfaces, making it an ideal choice for high-volume cut-to-size manufacturing.

• Recommended Processing: Gangsaw or circular saw slabbing (2 cm, 3 cm & thick architectural panels), followed by face calibration, surface honing, sandblasting, or bush-hammering for exterior facade fabrication
• Expected Slab Yield: Approximately 65–75 slabs per block (based on 2 cm slab thickness) or 45–55 architectural panels per block (based on 3 cm thickness)
• Finish/Polish Result: Soft, velvety matte-honed or fine saw-cut finish that reveals the subtle organic warmth, fossil textures, and pristine cream-white background of the limestone
