Stone - A Natural Phenomenon

Riven natural stones such as slates and sandstones are split out as large slabs from beds in the ground using wedges and levers, before being sawn to final size.

For honed and polished types of natural stone, for example limestone, marble and granite, large cutting machines work through the quarry beds to extract blocks of stone.  These blocks are then transported to a factory where they are cut into slabs by water cooled gang-saws.  The slabs are then machined to give it a honed or polished surface and cut in to various tile sizes.  Further finishing methods will ensure if the stone is to be ‘antiqued’ in any way.

The geological complexity of stone results in natural variation from tile to tile; this explains why natural products are individually unique.
