Port Lime

Port Lime Sawn Natural Limestone (NPL)

This creamy natural limestone is a sedimentary rock formed from ooids, tiny shell deposits, and a matrix of minerals such as calcite, aragonite and calcium carbonate.

A competitively priced alternative to Portland Stone, Port Lime holds a sharp edge well and can be used to create any architectural embellishment. It is exceptionally frost-resistant and durable and is CE Certified. As it it quarried from beds 6 to 9 m high, Port Lime is available in large blocks with consistent colour and texture.
