Sustainability Features of Indiana Limestone
Indiana Limestone is a 350 million year old representation of life naturally fused to form a unique building material. Extracted with relative ease, Indiana Limestone is an outcrop formation adding little to the already low energy inputs of its workability. Cladding countless monumental buildings, Indiana Limestone withstands the test of time and when decommissioned, can be reused or returned harmlessly to the earth.

  • Naturally formed
  • Inert – no VOC emissions or pollutants
  • Low energy inputs
  • Durable – lifespan greater than 100 years
  • Eligible for LEED credits

When you choose genuine Indiana Limestone, a natural stone for your building project, you can count on these sustainability features:

Low Life Cycle Costs
Indiana Limestone is virtually maintenance-free and requires only the occasional re-pointing of stone joints and cleaning, if desired. With minimal care, Indiana Limestone projects will serve present and future generations for many years to come.

Reusable/Recyclable
It is common in restoration projects involving Indiana Limestone for the majority of the original stone to remain in place for continued use once the restoration work is completed. Indiana Limestone can also be taken from one project and re-used as elements in another building, landscape stones, perimeter walls, or even as site fill. It’s completely inert—Indiana Limestone came from nature and can go back to same.

Environmentally Friendly Production Processes
Since the first organized Indiana Limestone quarry opened in 1827, Indiana Limestone has been in constant use making an impact on American architecture. Projects utilizing Indiana Limestone, many of which are up to 100 years old, exist in every American city and in many small towns and villages, in Canada, and in every type of atmosphere. Though found in only three Indiana counties, it is estimated that with current production methods between a 500 & 1,000 year supply of stone remains.

Leadership of KGO Stone

  • Standard Gray
    Varies in color from light to dark shades of gray with visible veining in the face.
  • Variegated
    An unselected mixture of buff and gray tones with a wide range of grain structure and veining.
  • Rustic Buff
  • Old Gothic
Indiana Limestone Grade for Specification

Grade classifications for Indiana limestone are based on the degree of fineness of the grain particles and other natural characteristics that make up the stone. The structural soundness of each grade of Indiana Limestone is essentially identical.
Select
Fine grained stone having a controlled minimum of inclusions and veining.

  • Standard
    Average to large grained stone permitting an average amount of inclusions and veining.
  • Rustic
    Large to coarse-grained stone permitting an above average amount of inclusions and veining.
