WELSH BLUE PENNANT

Welsh Blue Pennant sandstone is extremely hardwearing. Predominantly blue to grey in colour with occasional iron and coal markings, it is particularly suited to exterior use.

Pennant Stone is used extensively for paving and cobbles throughout several major cities such as Bath and Bristol. Its impressive flexural strength combined with a flamed finish makes this an exceptional product. It is widely used in high traffic area projects and anywhere requiring a low-slip surface.

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

RECOMMENDED FINISHES

Antiqued (internal finish)

Fettered edges with a smooth, undulating surface. Hand-finished to recreate an antique look.

Corten (external finish)

Square edges and a consistent flat, smooth surface. Flamed and brushed to highlight the natural iron markings creating a contemporary, rusty steel look.

Flamed (external finish)

Stone is subjected to high temperature flame and then quickly cooled producing a rough but consistent texture. Square edges and flat surface. Particularly suitable for external areas.

Patera (external finish)

Square edges with a coarse honed surface finish which gives it an almost dusty appearance, sometimes referred to as fine rubbed. Well suited to low slip areas.
