Classic Black limestone

• 

  Classic Black limestone is mined in an open surface called surface mining.

• 

  This is exactly the flat open mining surface.

• 

  The annual output from the quarry is about 20,000 cubic meters.

• 

  The quarry and block area covers about 3,000 square meters.

• 100x100x10mm

Typical Stone Finishes

Below are the 9 typical finishes we can apply to Classic Black limestone surface.

Antique Brushed Tiles

Portfolio

Honed + Tumbled / Imitation brick tile

These imitation bricks are cut from mottled black limestone (with brownish spots). They are trimmed to the size of 50x200x(18-20mm) with a 'honed + tumbled' finish.

Drizzled

We call this fine grooved finish a 'drizzled' because the finished stone has a hazy look like a drizzle in Autumn.

Composable Long-strip Walling Stone

These stone pieces are called Composable Long-strip Format Walling stone because they are not arranged and glued in the usual way of a standard 600x150mm size panel.

In stead, stones are supplied in strip-style pieces that have variable lengths of 150/ 300/450/600 mm, and fixed heights of 50/100/150 mm, as the below diagram.

These variations make the stone pieces composable and flexible at the construction site where they can be arranged in variable sequences. Builders are encouraged to try different combinations until a unique and satisfactory arrangement is reached.

Composable stone strips, not only varied in sizes, but they can be done with 2 or more different top finishes to blend as well.

Flamed + Split

In the following projects, the 2 specified finishes are flamed + split. A recommended proportion for this type is 30% of flamed (20 mm thick) mixed with 70% of split (20-30 mm thick).

This distinctive design of strip wall cladding is best for the exterior wall of a villa project or similar.

Loose Wall Cladding Stone - Flat & Corner

Stone cladding is a thin layer of real stone applied to a building or other structure as a protective and decorative covering for walls and surfaces. Real stone wall cladding is a natural stone that has been quarried and used as individual pieces which give virtually endless possibilities to create random patterns and designs. They can be used not only on internal, external walls and facade, but in landscaping applications as well such as garden walls, patios, paths and stairs. Natural stone cladding can be dry staked, pointed with mortar, to be mechanical fixed or adhered to substrates.

We are supplying a unique format of wall cladding stone which uses continuous horizontal layer of stone tiles that are cut in 4 specified heights and random lengths to achieve a sophisticated stone wall finish. Each stone slip is cropped by a guillotine machine to get a textured split/riven top surface and a sawn back surface for quick and efficient fixing to ICF walls. Stone edges are either hand dressed for an pleasing feel, or stones are tumbled to remove any sharp edges. The coursed stone is generally fixed with a mortar less joint to achieve a dry stone effect.

Crater Top Cladding

Crater is a new style we managed to apply to stone surface which looks as bumpy as meteorite craters on moon's surface.

Flat/Slip

These crater finish wall cladding flats and slips are supplied in random size of L(150-600) x H(200/300/400) x T20-30mm

Flagstone

Tumbled flagstone

Natural stone flagging stone comes in irregular random shape and size with trimmed edges as snapped, sawn or tumbled.

Stoneware

Classic Black limestone is an ideal stone material to make window sill, stair treads, table tops and etc. Stone stair treads can last for decades, require little to no maintenance. We produce custom size stone wares.

We have 3 typical surface options for stoneware surfaces. They are Polished/Matt, Sawn Flamed and Rockfaced.

For sawn thermal finish the stone is sawn and then flamed to create a textured finish which is for anti-skidding purpose.

Rockface is done by splitting & chiselling of the stone and this gives a natural, irregular face to the stone face.
