Arguedas White Limestone Slab - Natural Stone
Arguedas White Limestone Slab - Natural Stone
Arguedas Limestone Slab · White: natural white stone with Mediterranean elegance
There is a white you cannot get with paint or ceramics: the white of natural limestone. A white with body, fine grain and soft nuances, that fills terraces, façades and interiors with light, and has dressed country estates, farmhouses and manor houses for centuries.
Arguedas · White limestone is a fine-grained white limestone, compact and uniform, quarried and sawn in Spain. Denser than sandstone, with a clean, elegant surface that suits a Mediterranean garden as well as a modern façade.
✨ Why Arguedas limestone wins hearts
- Authentic natural white: the colour is the stone's own, from the first layer to the last. It does not fade and never goes out of style.
- Fine, compact grain: a uniform, elegant surface with a more refined look than sandstone.
- It fills spaces with light: it reflects brightness and visually enlarges terraces, patios and interiors.
- Cool underfoot: ideal for terraces and pool surrounds in warm climates.
- Frost resistant: tested through 56 freeze-thaw cycles (UNE-EN 12371), suitable for outdoor use in cold climates.
- Ages with elegance: it gains patina over the years, like the stone of old houses.
- Truly natural: stone from a Spanish quarry, sawn cut, CE marked. No resins, no imitations.
🏡 Where to use it
- Terraces, patios and porches with a Mediterranean feel.
- Façade and wall cladding in 2 cm.
- Pool surrounds and relaxation areas.
- Interiors: living rooms, entrances and bathrooms in natural stone.

💡 Professional tip: for outdoor floors with foot traffic choose 3 cm; 2 cm performs best on façades and walls. Allow 5–10% extra surface for cuts and trimming, and mix pieces from several packs or pallets when laying. On outdoor floors, a breathable water repellent makes cleaning easier and protects the white.
🪨 Natural stone: each batch may vary slightly in tone and veining from the photos. That is the signature of an authentic material, not a defect.
📦 Heavy material delivered on a pallet: read the delivery terms before placing your order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Arguedas limestone?
A natural fine-grained, compact white limestone, sawn in a Spanish quarry, CE marked.
How is it different from Duna sandstone?
Limestone is denser and finer-grained, with a more uniform white and a more refined look; sandstone has more veining and a more rustic feel.
Is it suitable for outdoors?
Yes: terraces, patios, porches, pool surrounds and façades. It is tested through 56 freeze-thaw cycles (UNE-EN 12371). For outdoor floors with foot traffic we recommend the 3 cm thickness.
Which thickness should I choose, 2 or 3 cm?
The 2 cm is ideal for cladding façades and walls; for floors, 3 cm.
How many m² per pack or pallet?
10-piece pack: 60x40: 2.4 m² · 60x30: 1.8 m² · 80x40: 3.2 m² · 100x50: 5 m². Full pallet: approx. 20 m² in 2 cm and 13-14.5 m² in 3 cm.
How much does it weigh?
Around 44 kg/m² in 2 cm and 66 kg/m² in 3 cm. A full pallet weighs around one tonne.
Does it need maintenance?
