Stone in all its various forms – sandstone, limestone, marble, granite, travertine, slate… – is the low carbon footprint material of choice for so much construction, conservation, interior design, hard landscaping, roofing, memorialisation, and public and private art. Unlike man-made products, stone is a truly natural product simply taken from the ground and processed using low energy machinery into the products we use – cladding, kitchen worktops, bathroom vanity units, the walls and floors of wet rooms, shower trays, paving, kerbs and setts and so much more. There is no high energy transformation taking place in fuel-burning kilns that pump vast amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere nor polluting chemicals to bind it all together. Nature has already done all the work of making the material in its plethora of truly unique and environmentally friendly forms.
