Elingstrand is a beautiful limestone quarried near Visby and is closely related to Norrvange and Södervange. This stone is rich in corals and fossils and has a unique character with elements from the coral reef south of the equator where it was once formed.

The thickness is 30 mm and the stone is laid on sand or concrete outdoors.

  • Stone type: Limestone
  • Quarry: Gotland, Sweden
  • Format: 30 cm falling lengths, Irregular
  • Use: Outdoors – patios, paths and gardens
  • Sold per square metre (sqm)

Falling lengths means the tiles share the same width but come in different lengths. The width is fixed, for example 20 or 30 cm, while the length varies between roughly 40 and 80 cm. Order 30 cm falling lengths and you get tiles that are all 30 cm wide but may be 45, 64 or 78 cm long.

The lengths are picked at random from production, so every delivery gets a natural spread. The variation gives the floor life and rhythm, while the fixed width holds the whole together. It is one of the most classic ways to lay limestone and marble, and it keeps waste to a minimum – both at the quarry and in your home.

For even more variation you can mix several widths, for example 20 and 30 cm in the same floor.

Paving stone is laid outdoors on a well-drained, compacted base. The stone is frost-resistant and withstands the Nordic climate.

  • Falling lengths: the width is fixed and the length varies. Lay the stones in a staggered pattern for a lively look and minimal waste.
  • Add 15% to your order for waste and cutting.
  • Natural stone varies in colour and texture – mix tiles from several pallets as you lay them.

Limestone and marble are easier to care for than many think. Seal the stone once it is laid, mop with a mild cleaner made for natural stone, and avoid acidic products such as lemon, vinegar and ordinary descalers. Minor marks become part of the stone’s patina over time.
