Lasting Durability

When it comes to durability, genuine Indiana limestone holds up, which is what you might expect for a material that's been 15 million years in the making. Victor Oolitic Stone Company offers a brilliant selection of natural limestone that lasts much longer than imitation stone. Imitation cast materials often contain a variety of mixed ingredients and each ingredient typically has a different coefficient of expansion. This can lead to rapid deterioration during freeze-thaw cycles. Natural Indiana limestone is one material with a single coefficient of expansion throughout, resulting in natural durability and longer life. For beauty and value that have stood the test of time, choose genuine Victor Oolitic limestone for your next project.
