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.

Famous quotes containing the word limitations:
“No man could bring himself to reveal his true character, and, above all, his true limitations as a citizen and a Christian, his true meannesses, his true imbecilities, to his friends, or even to his wife. Honest autobiography is therefore a contradiction in terms: the moment a man considers himself, even in petto, he tries to gild and fresco himself.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Much of what contrives to create critical moments in parenting stems from a fundamental misunderstanding as to what the child is capable of at any given age. If a parent misjudges a child’s limitations as well as his own abilities, the potential exists for unreasonable expectations, frustration, disappointment and an unrealistic belief that what the child really needs is to be punished.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“... art transcends its limitations only by staying within them.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
