Burgundy Blend tumbled French limestone laid in a random running-bond floor pattern

French Limestone · Bourgogne

Burgundy Blend

A floor drawn from one of France's oldest quarried landscapes. Tumbled, rough-cut limestone in shifting tones of beige, bone, slate-blue, and grey — every piece carrying the fossil record of the seabed it was formed from.

The Stone

Quarried from Burgundy

The limestone of Bourgogne has shaped French building for centuries — the courtyards of country houses, the worn thresholds of abbeys, the cool stone floors of the region's farmhouses. Burgundy Blend is cut from that same sedimentary bedrock, a stone laid down grain by grain over millions of years.

Look closely and the record is still there: shell fragments, crinoid stems, and the soft mineral banding of an ancient seabed. This is not a printed surface or a manufactured texture. It is the stone itself, exactly as the ground gave it up.

The Character

A blend, by nature

No two pieces are alike. Across the field the colour shifts from warm beige and bone to cooler blues and weathered grey, so a finished floor reads as a single living surface rather than a repeated tile.

The rough-cut edges are tumbled to soften them — rounding the corners and easing the surface into the worn, walked-in patina of a floor that looks as though it has always been there. Laid in mixed lengths at a fixed width, it falls naturally into the random running-bond of a classic French floor.

Specifying Burgundy Blend

Will every tile look the same?
No, and that is the point. Burgundy Blend is a natural stone with significant variation in tone, marking, and fossil content from piece to piece. We recommend ordering from a single lot, opening several cartons at once, and dry-laying the floor before setting so you can distribute the colour evenly.
Can it be used in showers and other wet areas?
Yes. Burgundy Blend is rated for wet areas and full floor use. As with any natural limestone, seal the stone before grouting and again after, and use a sealer suited to the application so the surface resists staining and moisture.
Does limestone need to be sealed?
Yes. Limestone is a porous natural stone, so a penetrating sealer is recommended on installation and periodically thereafter, with the interval depending on traffic and exposure. Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and avoid acidic products, which can etch the surface.
What sizes does it come in?
Each piece is a fixed 6″ wide at a nominal ⅝″ thickness, supplied in assorted mixed lengths from 7″ to 14″. The varied lengths are designed to be set in a random running-bond, the traditional layout for a French limestone floor.
Is it suitable for commercial projects?
Yes. Burgundy Blend is rated for both residential and commercial floor use, indoors and out. For high-traffic or exterior installations, confirm the sealing and detailing with your installer for the specific conditions.
