Eramosa Vein Cut Limestone is a distinctive natural stone known for its refined linear pattern and warm, neutral tones. Quarried in Ontario, Canada, this limestone features subtle horizontal veining created by vein-cut extraction, giving it a clean, contemporary look. Its color palette typically ranges from soft beige and light taupe to gentle grey undertones, making it highly versatile for both modern and classic designs.
Valued for its durability and consistent appearance, Eramosa Vein Cut Limestone is well suited for flooring, wall cladding, countertops, and exterior applications. The stone’s natural texture and understated elegance add depth and character without overwhelming a space, while its fossil markings and fine grain provide an authentic, timeless appeal. This limestone is an excellent choice for projects seeking a balance of sophistication, warmth, and natural beauty.
Available in sheet format to be cut to any size and will require sealing.
Material Properties
Durability: As a Class 3 high-density limestone, it is extremely hard and durable for its category. It has low water absorption (approximately 0.25%–0.6%) and high compressive strength.
Finishes: It accepts a wide range of finishes. Polished and honed are standard for interior luxury, while sandblasted, brushed, or bush-hammered finishes are used for added texture and slip resistance.
Common Applications
Interior: Frequently used in high-end residential and commercial projects for luxury flooring, wall cladding, fireplace surrounds, and staircases.
Countertops & Vanities: Its density allows it to be used for bathroom vanity tops and kitchen worktops, though it may require resin treatment or professional sealing to protect against etching.
Exterior: Suitable for outdoor vertical panels, paving, and pool copings due to its ability to withstand freeze-thaw cycles.
Sealing: Should be protected with a high-quality, acid-free impregnating sealer to prevent water and oil-based stains.
Cleaning: Regular maintenance should be done with a dry microfiber mop and acid-free cleaning products to avoid damaging the calcium-based structure
