But, why are limestone retaining walls becoming so popular?
The Benefits of Limestone
Limestone is widely used within the construction industry for a number of projects, especially for retaining walls, but what makes limestone such a popular choice among builders and developers?
Some of the most notable benefits include:
- Excellent natural insulation
- Excellent fire and acoustic properties
- Easy to cut/install
- A more affordable option than some other popular building materials.
Plus, limestone retaining walls aren’t just practical, they’re also visually alluring, with a simple aesthetic that can easily stand the test of time.
What Applications are Limestone Retaining Walls Suitable For?
Limestone retaining walls can be implemented in:
- Freeway retaining walls/barriers
- Retaining walls in housing/land sub-division projects
- Entry statements in housing estates or commercial complexes in suburban areas
- Screen walls in commercial settings
- Large-scale garden retaining walls in commercial landscaping projects
They’re particularly popular as freeway and housing estate barriers not only because of their aesthetic appeal but also because of their sound-reducing properties.
