I agree with Elliott. Limestone is soft, porous and subject to attack by just about any chemical. There are some really nice ceramic tiles available that look like stone.

You also need to be sure the underlayment is solid because even with ceramic tile, you run the risk of flexing and cracks.

Hello Bweb008

If the designer has suggested limestone, I would be concerned, Limestone is soft, and does not wear very well.

Perhaps she meant the color of limestone in a ceramic finish. I have to deal with designers on a regular basis, they have a flair for color, but some lack material knowledge, and then you get the so called designers on television that will convince home owners that lime green and purple in the kitchen will look great. Yeah right.
I would clarify her intentions, prior to wasting your brothers time money and energy.

Good luck

Have you considered a porcelain tile that looks like limestone? Durable and doesn’t crack like ceramic.

No it’s a pourous material that holds water and also is too soft for flooring in a bathroom.

Limestone is probably not the best choice for the bathroom, as it is one of the softest stones, and very succeptable to elements, including water, the biggest being acid, even hydrogen peroxide will erode limestone as even sealents will wear down. You are probably better off with a harder substance, marble would not be good either, although it looks nice as it is just as soft as limestone, but slate would be a better choice. Granite being the best.
