Each sheet covers a square foot and a box holds six.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA pattern with a long history\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasket weave has been laid for well over a century, which is part of why it reads as settled rather than fashionable. Limestone suits it, since the stone carries an even texture with small fossil traces and less contrast than marble, letting the geometry lead. Variation between pieces is moderate, so tone shifts across a floor. Honing leaves the surface matte, which hides wear better than a polished face would. The small square at the centre of each pair is what separates a true basket weave from a windmill pattern, and it repeats across every sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGeometry first\u003c\/strong\u003e A quiet stone keeps attention on the weave rather than on veining.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatte finish\u003c\/strong\u003e Honing hides scratching and etching better than polishing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFloors and walls, home or commercial\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rating is broad: residential and commercial interior floors and walls, with kitchen, bathroom and living room all recorded. One sheet covers a square foot, a box six, so 60 square feet needs 12 boxes with waste included. Matching trims exist as a 1\/2x12 pencil liner and a 2x12 andorra, and the same stone comes as an 11x17 sheet. Because tone varies moderately from piece to piece, opening several boxes and mixing them during setting keeps the spread even.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwelve boxes\u003c\/strong\u003e Sixty square feet at six square feet a box, plus 15 percent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrims to finish\u003c\/strong\u003e Pencil liner and andorra profiles share this limestone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we chose it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBroad rating\u003c\/strong\u003e Commercial and residential, floors and walls, all appear in the listing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEven arithmetic\u003c\/strong\u003e A sheet covers exactly one square foot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSettled pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e Basket weave has outlasted most tile fashions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimestone is porous and needs a penetrating sealer after installation, then resealing every one to two years in damp areas.
