Limestone Countertops

Limestone is great for those who like a somewhat weathered appearance to their kitchen, but be warned! It requires regular sealing, as most varieties of limestone absorb stains rather easily.

In practical terms, this means not only do you need to keep up with sealing your limestone countertops, you need to clean up all spills immediately.

If you choose a limestone countertop, you will probably want to look into the varieties that are less porous. Some are also less likely to scratch, making them a more practical surface for food preparation than those varities of limestone that scratch fairly easily.
