“There is no such thing as bad stone, just stone applied badly.”

Stone has been used in building for many thousands of years. It has a long history of performing as an extremely durable material in a wide range of conditions and applications.

Today however, we are building in an environment that is far more aggressive than even a century ago, thus placing far greater demands on the materials we use. Modern quarrying methods have led to an explosion of newly introduced material which can add complication to the selection process. In addition, we are pushing these materials to far greater extremes of performance.

It is therefore critical that stone selected for use in building projects is of the best available quality, and more importantly, that it is suitable for the proposed use, and that the fabrication/installation methods are of sound integrity.
