Why is Caithness (Flag)Stone Popular

  • the history and heritage: Caithness Stone has been available as a commercial product since the 16th century, and has a global reach
  • it is a natural construction product, formed by nature over millions of years
  • the stone’s durability is more like granite than a typical flagstone and can last in situation for decades, even centuries
  • the inherent flexural strength allows for more thinner and therefore more cost-effective sizes to be used
  • the stone performs very well in all weathers and extreme temperatures
  • it is non-porous which means that air, water, salt and other compounds cannot pass through it and damage the structure of the stone
  • aesthetic qualities: every stone is unique and is available in different natural colours
  • there are no stock products. Everything is custom-made, allowing architects complete freedom to design with Caithness Stone
  • due to our capacity and skilled workforce, we can supply the largest and most demanding projects, with minimal lead times
