Natural Stone Case Study-Bovis Homes-Lancashire

STONE DESCRIPTION:

Beautiful Derbyshire carboniferous sandstone, Stanton Moor buff - pink has been used widely across the UK for all scale of projects – from major prestigious city centre schemes to commercial, residential developments and private homes.

Stanton Moor buff sandstone and Stanton Moor pink sandstone are fine to medium grained sandstones, extracted from Dale View Quarry, Stanton-by-Dale, Derbyshire. The striking colour of Stanton Moor sandstone features a buff base with brown, gold and wild pink variation, adding depth and interest to both traditional and contemporary building designs. Extensive reserves allow selection from either Buff of Pink colour options.

PROJECT SUMMARY:

Rawtenstall the largest town in the Borough, steeped in history and fine buildings required a housing development which would blend seamlessly into this well established community.

THE BUILD SOLUTION:

Stanton Moor pitch face walling gave the architects at Bovis Homes an opportunity to showcase this residential development built of British natural sandstone as a flexible concept between contemporary and traditional living.

The demand for this durable sandstone for large scale prestigious housing schemes has grown considerably; mostly due to the consistency of buff and more variable fresh pinks and golds which keeps large expanses of a buildings fresh and colourful.
