"If the limestone is pre-sealed, it shouldn't be an issue, although depending on quality, and salt content, limestone is a flaky stone, I wouldn't use it in my kitchen, but a good alternative for a natural stone look would be travertine which can come in many colours and types etc"

"Hi, it is not such thing this tile is suitable or not. What not suitable could be is only some tiles are only for walls and some only for the floor. Anything else it is up to your taste. You just need to keep in mind about maintenance.
Hope it helps. If you need tiling service do not hesitate to get in touch.
Thank you"

"Limestone tiles are suitable for kitchens if sealed properly, you have to maintain the tiles to keep them looking right"
