A seamless stone texture with limestone arranged in a common pattern. The image represents a physical area of 1880 x 898 mm (74 x 35.4 inches) in total, with each individual block measuring approximately 225 x 65 mm. The joints are filled with mortar and are 10 mm (0.4 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 common or American bond. A true common bond contains between three and nine stretcher courses for every header course however the total number of sretchers can be adjusted. A bond with a single stretcher course for every header course is traditionally called an English bond while a bond with five stretchers for every header is known as Scottish bond.

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.
