Limitations
The stone tends to flake over a period of time. However, periodic polishing using polishing wax can eliminate this phenomenon. Also, the stone lacks the luster compared to marble or granite. Kota Stone competes in the market for its lower cost and longer durability.
Another aspect that the Kota Stone loses to Marble and Granite is the size. Its maximum sizes are around 240 cm in length and 75 cm in width. This is due to the physical properties–the brittleness of limestone. So, when flooring is done, especially large spaces, the number of joints are more which is not very aesthetically pleasing.
Since it is limestone it is not resistant to acid and alkali.
