Used on developments across the UK, this finish brings a contemporary aesthetic to many new build schemes. - ## Natural Stone Finishes **Split faced:** Split faced natural stone blocks provide a slight texture that remains subtle, without any part of the block faced being raised. This finish finds a balance between traditional and modern, offering plenty of character to a variety of applications. - ## Natural Stone Finishes **Pitched:** A beautiful and traditional finish, we often see pitched faced blocks in conservation areas with firm planning conditions. The pitched names come from their textured appearance and a slightly projecting centre on each block. - ## Natural Stone Finishes **Machine sawn:** Machine or diamond cut stone blocks are excellent for achieving a uniform finish with very precise and crisp dimensions. Our most modern and sleek offering, further polishing can be applied for additional elegance and refinement. - ![Edinburgh University 5 Large](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Masonry/Natural-Stone/_638x437_crop_center-center_none/Edinburgh-University-5-Large.jpg) - ![Smooth sandstone natural stone blocks supplied to Kinnear Road, Scotland](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Masonry/Natural-Stone/_638x437_crop_center-center_none/Kinnear-Road-Natural-Stone-4.jpg) - ![Bellway Homes Bagley Lane 7](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Masonry/Natural-Stone/_638x437_crop_center-center_none/Bellway-Homes-Bagley-Lane-7.jpg) - ![Kinnear Road Natural Stone 5](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/Products/Masonry/Natural-Stone/_638x437_crop_center-center_none/Kinnear-Road-Natural-Stone-5.jpg) ## Your questions answered Where do you source your natural stone from?

Why choose natural stone? Natural stone has been used as a building product for centuries, with many longstanding buildings existing as a credit to its durable nature. It was and is still chosen for many great benefits, including the variety available, its elegant appearance and its sustainability benefits. **Variety**: We supply over 20 varieties of natural, with a few named above. This wonderful, naturally occurring variety means that your project can enjoy the benefits of stone while also matching your colour and design vision. **Appearance**: Natural stone is sought after across a variety of products because of the naturally occurring tones and variations that exist throughout the stone. With no colour fade or changes in tone, natural stone colouring is as durable as the material itself. Furthermore, textures can be applied to your natural stone products to bring added individuality to your facade. **Sustainability**: As energy is only used when extracting stone, rather than during manufacturer in a factory setting, overall, less energy is required to produce the product. Additionally, natural stone’s long-lasting nature means that it requires little maintenance and rarely needs replacing, further adding to its low carbon impact.
