reserves of the highest dimensional and cut-stone quality 

stone . At Indiana Limestone Company, our quarries are 

the source of our nation’s building stone . A ten-year 

forward production plan is maintained for each quarry to 

access its reserves and provide the flexibility required to 

meet customer needs . Proper planning, the development 

of new sawing and quarrying techniques, and the use 

of available technology allow us to maximize the usable

has extensive reserves include Dark Hollow, Adams, 

National, and Baalbec quarries . These quarries are 

in addition to two of our most active and well-known 

quarries, namely Empire/PM&B and Crown . Both of 

these have been the exclusive sources of stone for such 

notable buildings as the Empire State Building, National 

Constitution Center, Mississippi State Judicial Building, 

and the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade 

Center in Washington, D .C .

Installation and 

Technical Information 

Delivery, Storage, and Handling 

� Product will be supplied adequately packaged on pallets or 

timbers to keep finished stone clear of the ground . 

� Storage area should be a well-drained space graveled or 

chipped for protection against mud splatters . 

� When using pry bars to move stone into place, use padding 

to protect the edges of the stone . 

Protection of Base Courses and Unfinished Work 

� To avoid possible unsightly stains caused by mud or other 

splashing, the ground at the base of the structure should be 

covered with protective material during construction . This 

should be left intact until landscaping is complete . 

� During construction, tops of walls should be carefully 

protected to prevent rain, snow, or seepage from entering 

space between veneer and backing . 

Setting Mortar 

� Setting mortar shall be ASTM C-270 Type N composed 

of one part Portland cement, one part mason’s lime, and six 

parts sand mixed with potable water, or one part masonry 

cement and two and three-fourths parts sand mixed with 

potable water . 

Anchors 

� Anchor ILC veneer securely to sheathing, wood framing, 

or masonry backing . Use galvanized iron wall ties . These 

ties should be spaced approximately 24” vertically and 18” 

horizontally . 

Cleaning 

� After mortar has set, the wall should be brushed down with 

a stiff fiber brush, and then carefully rinsed with clear water 

to remove any accumulation of stain or matter foreign to the 

Limestone . 

Dampproofing 

� Where limestone is to be used at or below grade, 

dampproofing must be applied .

Frame Wall 

Stone Veneer 

� Dampproofing the face of backup or structural concrete is 

helpful, but is not a substitute for backpainting the stone . 

� In cases where limestone is to be covered by soil or paving 

at grade, and where the stones will present an evaporation 

surface above grade, the dampproofing must be carried up 

the partially exposed face at least to grade level . 

� ILC recommends a cementitious based waterproof coating 

such as Thoroseal . 

Properties of Indiana Limestone 

Most building designs that incorporate Indiana Limestone 

consider these properties: 

Ultimate compressive strength of dry specimens 

Value: 4,000 psi min .* Test STD: ASTM C170 

Modulus of rupture of dry specimens 

Value: 700 psi min .** Test STD: ASTM C99 

Absorption 

Value: 7 .5 % max . Test STD: ASTM C97 

*Most Indiana Limestone products indicate min. values in excess of 

4,000 psi, but this value is listed as an engineering reference. 

**Windload and other bending forces are typically calculated at 1,000 

psi for modulus of rapture. 

NOTE: All Indiana Limestone meets or exceeds the strength 

requirements set forth in ASTM C-568 for Type II Dimension 

Limestone. 

Abrasion Resistance 

When used in flooring, paving, or steps, the abrasion resistance 

should be specified . 

Value Range: (Abrasive Hardness) 

6 min . to 17 max .† Test STD: ASTM C241 

†Stone preparation and installation details are important in assuring 

hardness of 8 for heavy traffic areas. Specify abrasive hardness of 6 for 

light traffic areas such as patios, plazas and wide sidewalks. 

Note: Flashing or Waterproof 

Material is used to keep Stone 

from coming in contact with 

Cement .

Notes on Rockford Estate Blend limestone veneer: 

Rockford Estate Blend is defined as “Semi- 

Dimensional” having exact course heights, varying 

bed thickness, and random lengths . 

These products are used to best advantage when 

the variations of grain and natural characteristics are 

allowed to complement the stone color and jointing 

pattern . 

When Rockford Estate Blend is used in a random 

pattern, it is suggested that no vertical joint in the 

pattern be higher than the highest course height being 

used, no horizontal joint be more than three stones 

long, and that no two stones the same height be 

placed end to end .

Notes on Berkshire limestone veneer: 

Berkshire is defined as “Semi-Dimensional” having 

exact course heights, varying bed thickness, and 

furnished in random lengths for jobsite fitting . 

These products are used to best advantage when the 

variations of grain and natural characteristics 

are allowed to complement the stone color and 

jointing pattern . 

When Berkshire is used in a random pattern, it is 

suggested that no vertical joint in the pattern be 

higher than the highest course height being used; no 

horizontal joint be more than three stones long; and 

that no two stones the same height be placed end 

to end .

Pool Coping Installation & Technical Guide 

Delivery, Storage and Handling 

� ILC Pool Coping should be unloaded and handled 

carefully to prevent excess breakage . 

� Product will be supplied adequately packaged on 

pallets or timbers to keep finished stone clear of the 

ground . 

� Storage area should be a well-drained space 

graveled or chipped for protection against mud 

splatters . 

� Product should be handled carefully to avoid excess 

chips and scratches . 

� When using pry bars to move stone into place, use 

padding to protect the edges of the stone . 


� Use of Type N Masonry Cement is highly 

recommended for the setting bed cement mix . White 

Cement does not contain the chemicals that when 

activated by water can cause unsightly staining . 

Typical fine sand will be adequate for the cement mix . 

A setting bed depth of 1” to 1-1/2” is recommended .

Pointing of Joints 

� Grouting or Pointing of the joints can be done with 

the same Type N White Masonry Cement (mixed with 

White Sand to allow for accurate coloring) . For an 

even more water repellent joint the use of a Urethane/ 

Polyurethane sealant is recommended . 

Anchors 

� Typical mortar set installation does not require any 

additional anchoring to pool wall/foundation, however 

if additional anchoring is required or desired based on 

design specifications, stainless steel dowels (smooth or 

threaded) or stainless steel dowels with straps are both 

commonly used for the attachment of limestone pool 

coping . PLEASE NOTE: Some installations may require 

review by an engineering professional to determine 

proper anchorage. 

Cleaning 

� After mortar has set, the pool coping should be 

brushed down with a stiff fiber brush, then carefully 

rinsed with clear water to remove any accumulation of 

stain or matter foreign to the Limestone . 

Physical Characteristics, Performance Table 

� Indiana Limestone complies with the requirements 

of ASTM C-568, Type II, Medium density limestone .

other splashing, the ground at the base of the structure 

should be covered with protective material during 

construction . This should be left intact until landscaping 

is complete . 

During construction, tops of walls should be carefully 

protected to prevent rain, snow, or seepage from 

entering space between veneer and backing .
