Right stone, right place

Each application sets different demands. These are the standards that apply and the Swedish stones we would put forward.

Pottholmen, Karlskrona, Swedish natural stone supplied by Zurface

I

Facades

Ventilated rainscreen cladding to EN 1469 calls for flexural strength, breaking load at the dowel hole and proven frost behaviour. Quartzite, Bohus Silver, Jämtland limestone and Orsa sandstone are our usual recommendations, supplied calibrated and drilled to the fixing system.

II

Public realm and landscaping

Squares, streets and parks need flexural strength, freeze-thaw and salt resistance and wet slip resistance, as set out in EN 1341 to EN 1343. Bohus granite, Vånga and Hallandia are proven Swedish choices.

Steps and stairs

Solid block steps in granite or quartzite, flamed or bush-hammered, last for centuries outdoors. Indoors, limestone and marble treads are honed and given anti-slip inserts.
