Won from one of the largest dimensional stone quarries in the British Isles, Stanton Moor is becoming one of the most popular dimensional building stones. With a deep-buff base colour, Stanton Moor has a range from browns, through buff to the distinctive pink veins. This variety keeps large expanses of stone fresh and colourful.
The track record of Stanton Moor is enviable with large-scale projects covering all categories. Used in pitched-face form it has been used widely throughout the UK, with the majority going in to housing.

Smooth, or sawn, texture gives the stone the best opportunity to show off. The pinks and browns shine through making the use of complimentary stones and other materials easy and flattering. Large scale commercial projects and prestigious housing projects all benefit from the physical strength and aesthetic appeal of Stanton Moor. Let your imagination wander free!
