Tumbled Limestone Paving
Bring warm, natural elegance to your patio with Antique Sinai Peral Tumbled Limestone Paving. Also known as Limestone Paving and Limestone Paving Slabs, this limestone range combines soft beige tones, subtle fossil details, and an acid-washed finish to create an aged, textured look that’s perfect for both classic and contemporary gardens.
Key benefits
- Aesthetic character: Warm beige tones with natural fossils and veining — ideal where a soft, elegant palette is wanted.
- Textured, slip-friendly finish: Acid-washed surface increases surface texture and helps with slip resistance — great for patios, terraces and pathways.
- Pre-sealed options available: Many suppliers offer factory pre-sealed packs to protect the stone during delivery and reduce first-season maintenance.
- Versatile for indoor & outdoor use: Suitable for patios, courtyards, pool surrounds (choose appropriate slip rating and installer guidance), and interior floors for seamless indoor-outdoor designs.

Where to use Acid Wash Sinai Pearl Limestone
- Patios and terraces — warm, natural look for entertaining spaces.
- Pathways and courtyard areas — textured finish helps grip in wet weather.
- Pool surrounds and outdoor living spaces — choose an appropriate installer who advises on drainage and slip safety.
- Interior floors for a seamless indoor-outdoor aesthetic (honed/tumbled variants work well inside).
Practical buyer information
- Is Sinai Pearl right for UK patios?
Yes — Sinai Pearl is widely sold and specified for UK outdoor paving and garden use; choose the acid-washed finish for added texture and consider pre-sealed packs to reduce early maintenance. - Do I need to seal limestone paving?
Many Sinai Pearl packs are factory pre-sealed. Over time you may choose to re-seal with a breathable stone sealer to protect against staining — we can advise timing based on use. - How much should I order?
Calculate area (m²) and add typical waste: 5–8% for straight lays; 8–12% (or more) for diagonal patterns or complex cuts. We provide a material estimator when you request a quote. - Is acid-washed limestone slippery when wet?
The acid-wash increases surface texture and helps with grip, but always follow installer guidance for jointing, falls and drainage for safe areas such as pool edges.
Installation & care
- Sub-base & bedding: Install on a well-compacted Type 1 sub-base with a suitable mortar or sand bedding as recommended for natural stone.
- Jointing: Use a flexible, breathable jointing mortar suitable for natural stone; avoid impermeable systems that trap moisture.
- Cleaning & maintenance: Factory pre-seal reduces early staining; routine cleaning with a pH-neutral cleaner and occasional re-sealing will keep the stone looking its best. Avoid acid cleaners.
(If you’d like, we’ll include a full installer checklist and recommended jointing/adhesive products with your quote.)

FAQ
Q: What is Antique Sinai Pearl Limestone Paving?
A: A light-beige limestone with an acid-washed surface and tumbled or sawn edges that highlights fossil detail and texture.
Q: Can I use Sinai Pearl around a pool?
A: Yes — choose the textured acid-washed finish, ensure correct falls and drainage, and follow installer guidance for safe poolside paving.
