Creative

The stunning new build incorporates a mix of natural face rustic sawn stone and blue-grey face sawn slate as well as some fine picked granite lintels. The combination of the two facing stones create an inviting look to the building. The Old Duchy Palace is one of the most ancient buildings in Cornwall.  It was built in 1292. The restoration contractors (Carrek Ltd) asked Lantoom Quarry to provide natural faced stone for restoration of the building's parapets. Only a small part of the stonework needed to be replaced, which is a credit to the durability of Cornish stone.

Impressive

In this case a typical challenge was the requirement to match the existing stone as closely as possible.  As is the case in many projects involving older buildings, environmental factors have affected the original stonework.  The most noticeable factor was that the brown/red/bronze colours of the original stone face had been eroded by weather and biological action over centuries.  The Lantoom stone used for replacement will weather over the next hundred years and will eventually match the original stonework perfectly. The project was commissioned by the Princes Regeneration Trust

  • Rustic face sawn stone 150mm (palletised)

    This is beautiful Cornish stone from Lantoom Quarry. The building face of the stone is the brown natural face and the back face of the stone is sawn to give a 150mm (nominal) bed depth. The stone is suitable for both traditional and contemporary designs and can be used for interior and exterior walls. The advantage of using a 150mm bed depth stone compared to a 100mm bed depth stone is that as the stones are generally larger, the average length and depth of the face of each stone will be larger.
