Description
Caliza Capri Commercial Limestone
Overview:
Caliza Capri is a versatile and aesthetically pleasing limestone quarried in Zarcilla de Ramos, Lorca, Murcia, Spain. It is recognized for its beige-whitish color, fine to medium grain, and largely uniform appearance with occasional color variations, shaded areas, and veins. The stone is widely favored for various construction and design projects, both indoors and outdoors, due to its durability and appealing natural look.
Physical and Mechanical Properties:
- Water Absorption: 0.83%
- Density: 2630 kg/m³
- Flexural Strength: 7.1 MPa
- Compressive Strength: 79.6 MPa
- Hardness: Generally falls within the medium range typical for limestone, though specific Mohs hardness values may vary.
- Porosity: Limestone is known to be relatively porous; specific porosity values vary per source and sample.
- Slip Resistance: Will vary depending on the surface finish but generally requires treatment for outdoor use to ensure adequate slip resistance, especially when polished.
Chemical and Mineral Compositions (% by weight):
Main components in typical limestones include:
- Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃): Typically represents the bulk of the composition, often exceeding 90%.
- Magnesium Carbonate (MgCO₃): Present in smaller amounts.
- Silicon Dioxide (SiO₂): Present in trace to minor amounts.
- Iron Oxides (Fe₂O₃): Present in trace amounts, contributing to slight variations in color.
- Aluminum Oxide (Al₂O₃): Present in minor to trace amounts.
Usage:
- Interior Applications: Flooring, wall cladding, countertops, staircases, fireplaces, and decorative features.
- Exterior Applications: Facades, paving, structural elements, and outdoor sculptures. Requires surface treatment for increased durability and slip resistance.
Maintenance:
- Routine Cleaning: Regular sweeping or vacuuming to remove dust and debris, along with damp mopping using a neutral pH cleaner.
- Sealing: Periodic sealing is recommended to protect against stains and moisture absorption.
- Stubborn Stains: Specialized stone cleaners can be used, while avoiding acidic or harsh chemical cleaners.
Cutting Sizes (cm):
Commonly available in slabs and tiles of various sizes, customizable according to specific project needs. Typical dimensions may include:
- Slabs: Various along the lines of standard slab sizes, commonly ranging 2-3 cm in thickness.
- Tiles: Available in sizes like 30x30, 30x60, 60x60 cm, with customization options available.
Surface Finish Options:
- Polished: Provides a mirror-like, high-gloss finish. Best for indoor spaces.
- Honed: Offers a smooth, matte finish with a more subdued appearance compared to polished.
- Brushed: Texture finish that provides a softer, aged look.
- Tumbled: Produces an antiqued, weathered appearance ideal for rustic aesthetics.
- Sandblasted: Adds texture for enhanced slip resistance, suitable for exterior use.
This combination of aesthetic appeal, mechanical properties, and versatility makes Caliza Capri limestone a valuable material for diverse architectural and design applications.
