PURBECK BEIGE ENGLISH LIMESTONE

An extremely hard Jurassic limestone from our own quarry near Swanage in Dorset. Purbeck is one of our most versatile British natural stones by virtue of its subtle tonal variations and golden beige colour coupled with its durability.

Traditionally used in churches but equally at home in residential and commercial applications. Its strength allows it to be used internally and externally, making it a great option for the seamless continuation of interior to exterior flooring and paving.

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

RECOMMENDED FINISHES

Ancient (internal finish)

The lightly fettered edge and smooth grain combine to create an instant lived in feel.

Bush Hammered (external finish)

Available with either square or chipped edges. Texture is consistent and uniformly distributed across the surface. Mainly used outside for low slip requirements.

Honed (internal finish)

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.

Leather (internal finish)

Square edges with a smooth pitted surface which has been created with a special high pressure mechanical action.

Rustic (external finish)

Chipped edges with a combination of smooth and textured surfaces well-suited to country properties.

Vintage (internal finish)

Chipped edges with a heavily textured, yet smooth, surface. The overall look is worn and soft with an open grain.
