Kirkstone Sea Green
The Kirkstone Petts quarry lies 300m west of Kirkstone Pass and the Kirkstone Sea Green has a wonderful aesthetic beauty for any commercial and residential project. Kirkstone Sea Green is a durable green stone created from volcanic activity some 450 million years ago.
Finishes
HONED
SANDED
FLAMED
TEXTURED
GRITBLASTED
HONED:
A smooth finish with a slight sheen. This can be applied to both faces and edges of the stone and can be applied to complex shapes and sloping faces.
FLAMTEXED:
A textured finish applied with a high pressure oxygen-propane lance. This can only be applied to a flat face and not available on edges,
complex shapes or sloping faces. If finished edges are required we would offer Honed, Sanded, Gritblasted or for a rougher more natural alternative we would offer a Plucked edge.
GRITBLASTED:
A high-pressure airline projects coarse-grained abrasives, giving a regular non slip finish.
RIVEN:
A finish in which the stone is split along its natural cleavage plane.
SANDED:
The top surfaces of sawn slabs are coarsely diamond sanded to produce a non slip finish.
TEXTURED:
The top surfaces of sawn slabs are pneumatically tooled to produce a grooved or pitted surface..
