About the designs:
Each fireplace depicted can be customized to fit your firebox or masonry opening. Some designs are shown with elevated hearths, over or undersized openings, various shelf heights, etc. Almost all aspects of all designs can be customized to meet you requirements. We can adjust height, width of mantel, and depth of stone works, along with customizing the design of your Fireplace or Mantel profile.
About the stone:
All stone is natural quarried limestone. Holland Architectural Limestone stocks 5 distinctive limestones. They are: Hadrian, West Texas Cream, Cordova Cream, Cordova Shell, and Lueders. The standard finish is smooth, however, other finishes are possible including: Antiqued, Hammered, Rockfaced (split). Not all finishes are recommended for all stones. Other materials available upon request.
Limitations of fabrication:
Since all stones are natural their properties are not exactly the same. Nevertheless, it is wise to observe the following constraints:
Minimum thickness - 2” (50mm)
Maximum length - 96” (2440mm)
Length vs. width - length <= 9 x width
Finishing:
It is recommended to seal the limestone after installation. The stone must be completely dry and clean before any sealer is applied. Mortars, grout and caulk should be given sufficient time to cure before sealing the stone.

A sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcite (CaCO3). Limestone
forms through chemical precipitation in warm, shallow seas, and often
contains marine fossils. (from www.visionlearning.com)
Cordova Cream – Cream colored limestone with subtle swirling veins and a fine to medium grain. The swirl pattern becomes more pronounced with finer finishing. Sparse but occasional fossils are typically filled if void. Color tone variations are minor even in larger
jobs. Carvings present themselves clean in this stone. This stone is well suited for detailed carving. AKA “Texas Cream”.
Cordova Shell – Cream colored limestone characterized by many void shell fossils. Voids can be 1/8” or smaller up to 2” or more. Typically, the voids are not filled. Color tone variations are minor.
Carvings will not be clean and crisp using this stone but that is not necessarily an objection. Carvings with much fine detail should be avoided. AKA “Shellstone”, “Texas Shell”, etc.
Hadrian – Light Cream fossilized limestone with varying amounts of void fossils. Larger jobs are likely to display a moderate amount of
color tone variations tending toward brown in the background color. Void fossils are generally not filled but regard for the type of application is the most important consideration. Carvings are acceptable but difficult or impossible to fill. Carvings with much fine
detail should be avoided. Especially well suited for antique finish. AKA “Western Ivory”.
Lueders – Buff to light gray in color with a fine to medium grain. There are many quarriers of this stone in operation all producing slightly to significantly different color tones. Some producers
describe their stone as “buff”, “gray” tending toward blue, or “antique” which is variegated brown, buff and gray. Holland Architectural Limestone describes our standard stock selection as
“buff”. Larger jobs are likely to display color tone variations. Sparse but occasional fossils are typically filled if void. Carvings present themselves clean in this stone. This stone is well suited for detailed carving. AKA “Leuders” sic.

West Texas Cream – Dark Cream color with a medium to coarse grain and widely varying fossil intensity. Some fossils are void and typically filled. Large jobs will show minor to moderate color tone
variation and moderate to large variations in fossil intensity. Carvings present themselves mostly clean in this stone. This stone is suited for detailed carving. AKA “Cedar Hill Cream”.
Other possibilities,
Coral – Light to medium brown color with a coarse to open grain. A small amount of rose coloration should be expected. A moderate to large amount of fossils, which are frequently void, are well distributed.
It is difficult to tell the difference between a small void fossil and open grain structure. Voids are generally not filled but regard for the type of application is the most important consideration. Surprisingly, this stone is harder, denser, less absorptive and more resistant to
abrasion than any of the stones described above. It has a distinctive variegated linear vein when cut perpendicular to the sedimentary rift (aka vein cut). When cut parallel to the rift (aka fleuri cut) a mottled
appearance results with light and dark colors more pronounced. Color tone variations are moderate. Carvings will not be clean and crisp using this stone but that is not necessarily an objection. Carvings with much fine detail should be avoided. AKA “Permian Sea Coral”. Call for
availability.
Indiana Limestone – Quarried in Monroe and Owens counties in southeastern Indiana since the 1850’s this well known building material has a well earned reputation as “The Nation’s Building Stone”. The material is available in Buff, Gray or Variegated, that is, both buff
and gray. It is graded according to industry standards: Select, Standard, Rustic or Variegated. Select is used primarily for statuary. Standard and Rustic are the best choices for most exterior
architectural applications. AKA “Bedford Stone”, “Bloomington Stone”, “Standard Buff”, etc. Call for a more complete description and availability.
