Beauty and Practicality
The reason so many love Dijon limestone is for its perfect combination of beauty and practicality.
Dijon is a beautiful limestone, with subtle beige-to-grey tonal variations, containing small fossils and occasional crystallised calcite veining. The neutral tones of our Dijon limestone tiles complement a range of colour schemes and styles of spaces, from contemporary builds to country barns and cottages. Dijon effortlessly pairs well with neutral palettes or with bolder interior colours such as green and navy.
Beyond aesthetics, Dijon is a naturally dense stone that is hardwearing and forgiving, making it is suitable for areas in the home with heavy footfall, such as kitchens, bathrooms and ground floors. It is also frost resistant and suitable for exterior use from a 20mm thickness. All of which, offering a natural stone tile that will truly stand the test of time.
Unrivalled Range of Sizes and Formats
Our collection of Dijon limestone includes a comprehensive range of sizes and formats from free length formats, opus pattern and Dijon herringbone brick tiles. The diversity of tile sizes and thicknesses mean this limestone can be used across spaces in the home and garden, where you may wish to create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, or combine large format with smaller format tiles of the same stone.

Finishes of Dijon Limestone Tiles
There are a few factors to consider when deciding which finish is right for you, with options of tumbled, brushed, honed and seasoned.
Dijon Tumbled
Our most popular finish is the Dijon tumbled limestone, due to its low maintenance and hard-wearing nature - great for the coming and goings of everyday life. The tumbled finish is achieved through a gentle ageing process, softening the stone markings and giving a tumbled edge and pastel-like appearance. This is perfect for country style homes wanting a rustic look.
Dijon Brushed
Brushed tiles have a matt-to-slight-sheen surface, with a subtle texture and straighter edges than tumbled. The brushing process is with steel brush heads, wearing away at the softer minerals within the stone. The Dijon brushed limestone is a versatile option suiting all styles of spaces.

Dijon Honed
A honed tile is essentially polished but to a lower grade, with a smooth matt appearance. You can expect straight cut edges, creating clean and close grout joints and a contemporary feel.
Dijon Seasoned
An exclusive offering to our Dijon limestone collection is the Dijon seasoned limestone tiles. This finish provides worn edges, increased texture and a slightly warmer appearance - ideal for outdoors and ground floor areas for a slightly rustic feel.

Quality and Grades of Material
We’re proud to offer one of the most carefully curated selections of Dijon limestone in the UK. Our Dijon limestone is sourced directly from trusted quarries, allowing us to select the grades and tones. We believe in transparency and choice, which is why we offer two distinct selections — Dijon Tumbled and Dijon Blend Tumbled — so you can choose with confidence, knowing precisely what will arrive at your door. Whether you prefer the softer, more uniform tones of Dijon tumbled limestone or a mix of warmer shades with higher variation, oxidisation and veining in our Dijon Blend tumbled limestone, our commitment to quality ensures every tile meets our high standards.
Cost-effective Options
For those renovating on a budget or for developers, the Dijon Blend limestone is wonderful option in our range – this is a second selection of the same material, which also means lower, cost-effective prices. The sister to our Dijon tumbled, you can expect more variation, minerals, fossils and veining. This is perfect for rustic barn conversions or for those wanting a lower cost option. Often, customers will opt for our premium Dijon tumbled for internals, and then the Dijon Blend limestone tiles for exterior - outside paving will naturally lighten and season over time so this is an excellent way of keeping renovation costs lower.
Porcelain Alternatives
Drawing on our unrivalled expertise, formed over decades of importing our bestselling Dijon limestone, we set out to create the best Dijon porcelain replicas in the market. Our Dijon Porcelain collection is available in three shades, Dijon Beige, Dijon Rendition by QS and Dijon Blanc by QS. The realistic minerals, fossils and calcite veining evident in this collection make it a wonderful alternative to our all-time favourite Dijon Limestone, with the practicalities of porcelain. The Dijon Rendition and Dijon Blanc are exclusive ranges to Quorn Stone, and Dijon Rendition is also available in various tile sizes alongside the popular 900x600 format, including herringbone and cobbles.
FAQ's on Dijon limestone tiles
Is Dijon limestone easy to look after and clean?
Which Dijon tumbled tile size should I choose?
The size tile you go for is personal preference – there is no right or wrong! However, over the years we have developed a keen eye on what sizes and formats work best for all shapes and styles of kitchens. The most popular formats for open plan kitchens with our Dijon tumbled limestone tends to be the 500xFL (Free Length) or 600xFL (Free Length). The Opus Patterns are great for more traditional properties and 600x400 for smaller spaces. 900x600 and 600x600 suit more modern or contemporary spaces.
Is Dijon limestone suitable with underfloor heating?
Yes! Underfloor heating is perfectly suited with our natural stone and Dijon limestone tiles following the correct installation. We strongly advise the use of anti-fracture matting, which is industry standard. This is a thin membrane that should be installed between the screed and your tiles. This membrane protects the tiles from lateral sheer movements, allowing the screed to fracture without damaging the tiles.
