New arrival. Smi Rijo Claire Raked just came into our Los Angeles yard.

Smi Rijo Claire Raked is a 2 cm cream limestone from Portugal, offered in a textured finish. Lot PB1503501 measures about 122″ × 66″, with 13 slabs available at our Los Angeles yard.

This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 122″ × 66″, about 56 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is cream. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade. This material is recorded as quarried in Portugal.

The textured finish has a tactile face rather than a gloss. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.

In the yard

Lot PB1503501 at our Los Angeles yard shows 13 slabs in stock, none on hold, and 13 slabs available. Available means in stock minus slabs on hold.

The slabs can be compared in daylight at our Los Angeles yard before anything is cut.

Where it works

For this kind of stone, the usual applications are floors, wall cladding, and vanities. The right use still depends on the finish, the thickness, and how the slab will be cared for after it is installed.

The material

Limestone is a sedimentary stone, usually calmer in pattern than marble, with a soft mineral color. It is more porous than granite and is a frequent choice for floors, cladding, and vanities. Honed and brushed finishes suit its matte character. Acidic products can etch it, and a sealer is often part of the care plan. Slabs from the same lot are the right set to compare for shade before they are cut.
