FAQs
1. Does Kota Black limestone fade?
Yes. It does tend to fade over time and more so if the stone is exposed to rain and sunlight. If untreated, the black can pass over into more of a charcoal grey — but funnily enough, it will always return back to jet black when wet. There are products you can use to restore the original black colours. And a sealer will also help to prolong the lifespan of the colour.
Though it’s worth mentioning that many people enjoy the mellowing of the colour over time, as it can look more ‘traditional’.
2. Does black limestone need to be sealed?
Not necessarily — but we would recommend it. Sealing your limestone will help to preserve its dark colour tones for longer.
3. Can I power wash black limestone?
You can but we don’t recommend it. It can be hard even for expert cleaning companies to power wash the stone properly without blasting away parts of the surface and opening it up to erosion. Try some warm soapy water — or a neutral or mild alkaline-based cleaning agent — and a bit of elbow grease instead.
4. Does black limestone get hot?
No. Limestone stays cool beneath your feet no matter how hot it gets. Black limestone tends to absorb a little more heat than lighter colours. But it still stays very cool.
5.What are the cons of Kota Black Indian stone?
This gorgeous stone is vulnerable to stains and marks from mould, liquids and bacteria (but you can protect it against all of these by sealing it in advance).
And finally, as a soft stone, it can be scratched or marked if heavy or sharp objects fall on it. But if you take care around it, this stone should last a very long time in near pristine condition.
