Our Stone

Caithness flagstone is a Devonian sandstone, famous for its jet black appearance when polished. Its versatility and durability make it a highly sought-after material for various applications. We have spent years studying the properties of this material, discovering how best to apply its exceptional properties to stylish and practical solutions for modern living.

Technical Specifications

Caithness flagstone's striking appearance and exceptional strength make it highly prized for public spaces, corporate interiors, building projects, and high-end residential architecture. Its high-density sedimentary sandstone is extracted from a 3 m high bed and quarried from 16 principle layers. We carefully select our stone from the layer best suited to the end use, ensuring that every product meets the highest standards of quality.

Petrography

Caithness Flagstone is from the Old Red Sandstone of Devonian age, known for its very fine grained texture and dark grey colour, which weathers to various colours dependent on the iron content. When polished, the hewn stone finishes darker and more consistent in colour, giving Caithness Flagstone its signature, striking dark look. We are happy to provide samples of our stone for those interested in experiencing its beauty firsthand.

Quality Assurance

We understand the design and build process and are routinely selected as a supplier where Caithness flagstone is specified. We are ISO 9001:2015 certified, ensuring the highest standards of products. For more information on our accreditations, please visit our dedicated page.
