1) Rock Type:

Limestone is a sedimentary rock consisting predominantly of calcium carbonate or dolomite.

Granite is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles, and other minerals.

2) Uses:

Limestone is suitable for a variety of applications from floors to walls to facades. It is possible to create any look using limestone tile due to the variety of choices.

Granite is an ideal material for facades also it is resistant to heat and cold. This natural stone gives any exterior wall cladding an aspect of strength as well as hardness.

3) Appearance:

The actual color of the Limestone is white, but our limestone collection comes in beige, white, rose, grey, brown, and yellow colors. With so many choices, it’s possible to create just about any look imaginable using limestone tile.

The color of granite depends on its mineral composition. so it can have varying grey, white or black, but mostly it is red or pink in color. 

3) Which Is More Durable?

Both natural stones are strong, when it comes to building any project. 

Limestone has stronger absorption capabilities, and throughout history limestone has been used to build landmark buildings and monuments such as the pyramids of Egypt and The Lincoln Memorial; buildings that are still standing today. 

However, Granite is more durable which is why it plays an important role in the construction sector.  It is an igneous rock which is much more hard, sturdy and durable.
