Vratza limestone is a type of natural Bulgarian limestone, that has unique features – it is extremely weather-resistant, easy to process and possesses rare aesthetic qualities. These features makes it a perfect material for outdoor application – outdoor, paving, cladding and decorations, as well as for interior use like limestone fireplaces, interiour decorations, limestone staircases and furniture.
If we take a closer look at the facades of the old classical buildings, we would find out the features of a compact, homogenous stone that is impressive with its warm creamy colour – rain- and cold-resistant throughout time. Vratza limestone is an excellent building stone for humid regions. This type of limestone is hard enough to resist weathering but usually soft enough to be processed (cut and carved) by stonemasons.
Tests show that in terms of strength and frost resistance Vratza limestone exceeds the other limestone types.
