Port Regent

Port Regent Natural Limestone Paving (NPRP)

This fine natural limestone was used by the Romans to build temples and public buildings throughout their empire. A warm straw colour, with subtle veins and a hint of grey, Port Regent has an exceptionally fine grain with a consistent colour and texture.

Frost resistant and hard wearing, Port Regent is an ideal alternative to Portland Stone. It has recently been used in Kensington Palace Gardens to replace Portland Stone paving.
