Example Stone Selections

We will always try and work with locally sourced stone where possible and will work with the local quarry directly to handpick the materials to make sure we are using the absolute best quality stone. Locally sourced stone also reflects the local geology and therefore highlights the providence of our work and your finished project. Below are just a few examples stones/schists that we work with. Schist is such a versatile material; it can be used as a cladding for both internal and external features of a building. We also commonly use it for fire surrounds, feature walls (inside and out), retaining walls, gables and even paving. It can also be cut to a veneer and stuck to a substrate where weight is an issue while still retaining that authentic stone look and feel. As you can see below, there are all different colours of schist, quarried from different parts of the South Island

If you are looking to use something in particular for your next project, please get in touch, and we can source it and advise you on it.
