Adaptability is an adjective eminently suited to Plumpton Red Lazonby.
This medium-grained red
sandstone is strong enough in all planes to be used equally effectively
as a paving material and as
vertical masonry product. Its base colour of salmon pink is enhanced
by the brightness of quartz
grains to give a sparkle that makes the stone one of the first choices
for designers looking to use a
natural stone with life.
Plumpton Red Lazonby can be used as a cladding or paving aterial
at thicknesses which encourages exciting
design solutions. The combination of exceptional physical performance
and intensity of colour is unique.
Specification
guide Quarried from Lazonby Fell, 3 miles north
of Penrith, Plumpton Red Lazonby is a medium-grained sandstone,
uniformly salmon pink in colour with a sparkle due to the presence
of quartz grains. Extremely resistant to
abrasion and weathering, Plumpton Red Lazonby can be used for
most building applications including paving.
Beds are up to 1500 mm deep and long, wide blocks can be obtained.
These figures should only be used as indications of the future
performance of the stone. The information given is for
