In short, Dijon tumbled limestone is a cleaner premium selection of tiles, whereas the Dijon Blend limestone is a sister product with greater variation, browner tones, high oxidisation and veining.

We’re aware of the crowded market in the natural stone industry and like any natural stone, the quarry that Dijon is sourced from has different selections and grades. Many companies may offer Dijon limestone tiles at low prices, but may mislead by selling the lower grades of Dijon, advertised as premium quality. This is why we are transparent in having two selections; Dijon tumbled and Dijon Blend tumbled so you can order with confidence of what you will receive.

Our Dijon tumbled limestone tiles are the top selection of the highest grade, yielding lighter and more consistent tones – the ‘champagne’ selection, as we like to call it.

Yes! With the correct installation, our Dijon limestone tiles are suitable for underfloor heating. We advise using an anti-fracture matting when installing the tiles, and discussing any specific substrate or installation requirements with your installer.

Sealant is required for natural stone tiles and will help protect your Dijon limestone tiles against water and oil contamination. Subject to the correct maintenance, we recommend resealing internal dry areas, every 3-5 years.

We recommend using both dry and wet methods to keep your Dijon stone flooring looking its best. Sweeping and vacuuming (with the soft attachment) is great to pick up crumbs from the floor, whilst an occasional mop will keep your floor hygienic and lift light stains. We recommend using Lithofin Wash & Clean for frequent cleaning, and Lithofin Power Clean for intensive cleans.

It is important to use cleaning products designed for natural stone on your floor – regular household cleaners and steam cleaners can damage the surface of the tile and should be avoided.

The sized tile you go for is personal preference – there is no right or wrong! However, over the years we have developed a keen eye on what sizes and formats work best for all shapes and styles of kitchens. The most popular formats for open plan kitchens with our Dijon tumbled limestone tends to be the 500xFL (Free Length) or 600xFL (Free Length). The Opus Patterns are great for more traditional properties and 600×400 for smaller spaces. 900×600 and 600×600 suit more modern or contemporary spaces.
