Limestone Stretcher

A seamless stone texture with limestone arranged in a stretcher pattern. The image represents a physical area of 2436 x 1516 mm (95.9 x 59.7 inches) in total, with each individual block measuring approximately 23.75 x 5.75 '. The joints are filled with mortar and are 0.25 mm (0 inches) in width.

Limestone is a strong, durable stone material commonly used in architecture and construction. Famously used to construct the Great Pyramids of Egypt, limestone is frequently manufactured as bricks, block, or panels. In contemporary buildings, it is used as cladding for external walls and facades, as well as internal floor paving, tiles, and surfaces. Limestone offers a variety of colours including white, yellow, cream, or beige, and finishes including polished, rough, or brushed.

This texture uses a running pattern also known as a stretcher bond. The stretcher bond is one of the most common bonds used in masonry construction and uses stretchers, bricks laid flat with their long edge parallel to the wall. Each alternating course is offset by a half stretcher.

This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations.
