PORTLAND CAVENDISH

Portland limestone is one of the most famous and widely used British Stones. Portland is the predominant stone used in London and it can be seen in historic buildings such as St Paul’s Cathedral, Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace.

Portland Cavendish is a whitbed stone with heavy fossiling.

We recommend the following finishes which enhance the natural characteristics of this stone:

RECOMMENDED FINISHES

Square, clean edges with a very smooth, flat surface. The finish achieved can vary from matt to gloss depending on the stone type with harder stones tending to look more polished. Ground to a smooth, flat, consistent surface which is easy to maintain.
