Stone is completely natural, and unique

Stone is the purest and most natural building material of all. Each piece is unique and can never be replicated. A tile or paver made from stone has been quarried, sawn to the right size and then machined to make the thickness uniform this simple process is all that is required to create an extraordinarily beautiful natural product. Sometimes special surface treatments such as tumbling, honing, brushing or flaming are applied. These simple physical processes require no artificial additives or chemicals.

Timeless quality and remarkable durability

Stone has been used on the floors, walls and roofs of many of the worlds most revered buildings. St Pauls Cathedral (limestone), the Colloseum (travertine), Pantheon (granite), Taj Mahal (marble), The White House (limestone), Sacr-Coeur Basilica (travertine) and Hagia Sophia (marble) are all living monuments to the remarkable durability of natural stone.

Superior quality prevails

The quality of stone varies enormously this surprises many people. Sometimes stone defects are not recognisable to an untrained eye. Dont expect to buy durable stone at rock-bottom prices. Inferior stone will not endure and has a whiff as bad as cheap perfume ...

Our reliable suppliers a vital link in the chain

Bellstone has established long-term relationships with overseas stone suppliers some of whom have been working with us for 20 years. The reliability of our supplier network is unparalleled. Through this network we have access to the best quarries and the most up-to-date technology as well as highly qualified engineers and stone masons who are committed to quality and consistency with every batch.

Natural heating and cooling: thermal mass

The thermal mass properties of stone have been heralded by designers and builders for centuries many years before heaters and air conditioners appeared on the scene. Stone is a natural choice for passive heating and cooling. In winter stone is slow to heat but retains its heat for a long time. In summer, stone will stay cool for longer, especially indoors.

Does stone need sealing? Bellstones 5-star quality rating system

To help you interpret the test data about stone quality we have devised a simple rating system. Test results have been converted to star ratings, based on a linear scale for each parameter. This helps you make an informed choice before buying or specifying the right stone for your interior matching fitness for purpose is a high priority for us. Much of the stone we supply does not require sealing. However, the majority of our customers prefer to seal its a kind of insurance for them. It takes only minutes to seal a floor. The best sealants can last for up to 15 years and they can make cleaning easier, so we understand why this is a popular choice.

If for any reason the quality of the stone does not meet specification we will replace it without cost, providing the product has not been fixed.
