Natural stone is very common for building exterior walls, and stone decoration can reflect luxury and solemnity. The building facade with all stone dry hanging is full of quality and beauty. In addition, with the perfect carving art and the weightiness of stone components, standing in front of it seems to have a sense of reverence for buildings.

With the increasing requirements of architects for facades, the variety of stone materials has become more diverse. In addition to the conventional use of granite panels, some exterior walls of buildings now also use some limestone.

The main components of limestone are calcium carbonate (CaCO3), calcium magnesium carbonate, or a mixture of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate. From a geological perspective, limestone belongs to a type of sedimentary rock, originating from fragments and debris of other rocks. These fragments are compressed and cemented under various natural environmental factors to form sedimentary rocks. Compared to granite, limestone has lower strength and greater dispersion. For the special properties of limestone, back connections such as back anchor should be used. The thickness of the limestone should not be less than 40mm, and the anchor bolt should not be less than M6. It is recommended to use M8.

Limestone has many distinct natural features, such as the patterns or spots of calcite, fossil or shell structures, pits, slender tissues, open textures, honeycomb structures, iron spots, structures similar to limestone, and differences in crystallization. It is these characteristics that give limestone a natural sensory and rich layering.
