Selecting materials for exterior paving applications in the United Kingdom can be a challenging task at times, especially when it comes to natural stones, since they must meet a series of criteria points in order to naturally withstand the climatic conditions in the area. Here’s our top limestone picks for 2016.

But that’s not all, the colour and background uniformity are two key points in the selection process, as most projects in the UK tend to take in consideration the surrounding environment and local style.
