About the stone

Getting to know Alböke Grey-Brown

A limestone from Öland running from grey to brown in a calm but detailed pattern. Brushed or planed, the surface develops a soft patina over the years.

Where to use it

Alböke Grey-Brown is mainly specified for external paving, worktops and tables and interiors. Limestone and marble are more sensitive to acids than granite; an impregnating sealer and pH-neutral cleaning keep the surface at its best.

  • external paving
  • worktops and tables
  • interiors

Finishes

  • brushed: softly textured and pleasant underfoot
  • planed: matt with a light texture

Origin and geology

On Öland a small family-run stoneworks quarries and finishes the island's limestone; the variation from slab to slab is typical of Öland stone.

Swedish limestone is mostly dense and fine-grained. It is used above all for floors, stairs, sills and worktops, with some varieties also suited to facades and external paving.
