NOW ON SALE - AVIGNON HEAVY TUMBLED INTERNAL LIMESTONE JUST £45sqm+VAT & DELIVERY! (reduced from £50)
We are lucky to be based in a part of the country that has beautiful limestone which has been used for centuries as a building and flooring material. Situated near both the famous Cotswold limestone seam and the paler, more Regency looking Bath stone seams, our local architecture is truly blessed when touched with these historic stones. For modern installations however these stones are expensive and problematic due to their softness and dislike for underfloor heating. Avignon Heavy tumbled limestone is the definitive solution, providing the exact colour to fit in with the local vernacular but, being inherently stronger and, importantly, much cheaper than local stone, gives you the ultimate solution for your interior project. Take inspiration from the warm honey-hued facades that line the city of Bath – with this antiqued limestone flooring. It has a heavily tumbled surface, reminiscent of a well-worn floor from bygone times. Whether it’s a classic barn conversion or a contemporary new build, this hard-wearing stone will add warmth and rusticity to your interior. Complete the look with the 3cm (30mm) thick dedicated outdoor version to bring the outside in or the inside out.
3cm thick courtyard cobbles: these lovely outdoor finished cobbles come in 15cm widths by mixed lengths and 3cm thick. Perfect for landscaping pathways, courtyards and the like.
STOP PRESS: To compliment the internal flagstones we have our brand new indoor stone steps finished with a light brushed texture. These limestone step treads, like their external counterpart, are finished with a full bullnose edge and offer the ideal solution for internal split level floors.
PRICES ARE PER SQM EXCLUDING DELIVERY. We operate a minimum order quantity of 5sqm on all stone products.

Decoupling mat is recommended for all heated-floors and/or timber sub-floors. Adhesive specification for timber sub-floors must be a good quality S2 grade WHITE adhesive.

External Installation Points | This is a 30mm thick flag so can be laid directly onto an MOT type 1 external base or similar or onto a concrete/screed base. If installing onto MOT then a wet sand & cement mortar mix must be used with the addition of SBR. NB: white Portland cement must be used in place of standard grey cement. If installing onto concrete/screed a good quality external grade white tile adhesive can be used. |
