Blue Flamed

Stylish and fashionable, Blue Flamed limestone is the most trendy and the most asked for natural stone for use near water. Its medium blue-grey surface features numerous irregular white rough patches, more or less evenly distributed, lending it a charm all of its own, as well as contributing to its anti-slip properties.

The ‘Blue Flamed' finish is perfect for flooring both inside and outside - in busy passageways and in areas where water can make it slippy underfoot, such as entrance halls, bathrooms, staircases, swimming pool… Plus, lime and soap marks are less visible on its slightly cloudy surface, making it perfect for worktops, shower walls, pool edges… This non-porous stone is also highly resistant to frost and other weather effects, and is thus ideal for your terrace.

Technical description:

The 'Blue Flamed' mechanical finish is a medium blue-grey surface with a multitude of irregular, slightly glittering, more or less evenly distributed white asperities. Obtained by passing a jet of flame (at an angle of about 45°) over a slice of sawn stone immersed in water, the thermal shock causes the surface grains to break up and gives the specific texture of this finish. Mechanical surfacing is carried out on the large visible surface of the slice (not on the edges or returns), before the finished products are cut to size.
