Yorkstone

In stock

Pennant Yorkstone (often specifically referred to as Pennant Sandstone) is a carboniferous sedimentary rock renowned for its exceptional durability and strength. It is frequently used in high-traffic public realm spaces and premium residential projects. 
Key Characteristics
  • Composition & Durability: It is a dense, tight-grained stone primarily composed of quartz grains. This density makes it highly resistant to frost and wear, with excellent non-slip properties that remain effective even as the stone wears over time.
  • Colour Palette: It typically features a distinctive range of colours, from cool blues and elegant greys to warm, earthy rust and ochre browns. Varieties like Blue Pennant are prized for their predominantly blue-to-grey tones.
  • Historical and Sustainable: Primarily quarried in the UK, its use reduces carbon footprints compared to imported stone. It is often found in historic British architecture and is a preferred choice for restoration projects. 
Common Finishes
  • Riven: Cleaved along natural sedimentary boundaries, providing a textured, slightly uneven surface with excellent slip resistance.
  • Sawn: Machine-cut on all sides to produce a flat, contemporary look that can be laid with narrow joints.
  • Reclaimed: Salvaged flagstones that carry a unique weathered patina and historic character developed over decades or centuries
