Choice of Stone

Heritage Stonemasons can provide expert advice on choice of stone

There are many different types of stone available for construction, and while almost any stone can be used in building, each has its own strengths and limitations. For example, granite, sandstone, and limestone are commonly used for stone walls and houses, while slate is typically better suited for roofing and flooring.

At Heritage Stonemasons, we guide you in choosing the ideal stone for your project. In most cases, we recommend using locally sourced stone, as it blends naturally with the surrounding landscape, reduces transportation costs, and lowers your carbon footprint.

That said, we also have the expertise and network to source high-quality stone from across Ireland to meet your exact design and construction needs.
