Norrvange is a wonderfully beautiful limestone from northern Gotland with a character all of its own. A mild sand-grey limestone with warm tones. Honed with a smooth surface. This is a stone that truly goes with everything and can be used both outdoors and indoors. Many have tried to imitate Norrvange's colour and feel, but this is the original. Quarried, cut and honed by Slite stenhuggeri, in operation since 1907. Norrvange is also available with a brushed finish. Match your floor or wall with window sills in Norrvange honed.

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.

Natural stone is not laid like ceramic tiles. Three things your tiler needs to know:

Adhesive, grout and silicone must be made for natural stone. Ordinary tile adhesive can cause discolouration.
The floor must dry for at least 15 days after grouting before it is cleaned and sealed with Verna Protect. Underfloor heating is switched on only after that.
In showers the tiles are sealed before laying with Verna Pre-Protect.

Everything about substrates, falls, drying times and underfloor heating is in our recommendations – give them to your tiler:

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.
