Stone can be used throughout residential and commericial projects. From solid stone or lightweight schist cladding to landscaping products such as retaining rock, decorative schist gravels.
Schist is a permanent product that has been used around Central Otago since the gold rush era and will outlast almost all other materials.
Modern guillotines can now split stone into easy to use blocks that are efficient to transport and use.
Every order can be custom cut to most dimensions, however our standard sizes are 150mm and 180mm. We are happy to discuss each project to ensure the most suitable stone is used to achieve the desired effect.
Stone can be cut down to lightweight veneer for any area where the space or weight of natural stone cannot be accommodated in a build. Natural stone is guillotine cut and then sliced thinly using a diamond saw. Only the guillotine cut faces are used ensuring the schist veneer matches perfectly with natural stone and it is common to use lightweight stone and regular schist veneer on the same project.
