York Stone
United Kingdom
(Calderdale, West Yorkshire)
York stone, also known as Yorkshire stone, is a type of natural sandstone that is quarried in the Yorkshire region of Northern England. It has been used for centuries in various construction projects due to its durability, attractive appearance, and versatility. The name "York stone" comes from its historical association with the city of York.
Characteristics of York Stone:
Appearance:
York stone typically has a warm, buff color with varying shades of gray, brown, and golden tones. Its natural variations in color and texture give it a unique and rustic appearance.
Texture:
It has a relatively smooth and fine-grained texture, which makes it comfortable to walk on. Over time, it can develop a natural patina, adding to its charm.
Durability:
One of the main reasons for its popularity is its high durability. It is resistant to weathering, frost, and wear, making it suitable for outdoor applications such as paving, steps, and walling.
Versatility:
York stone is used for a wide range of applications, including paving for patios, paths, and driveways, as well as walling, building facades, and even indoor flooring.
Historical significance:
York stone has been used historically in many iconic buildings and landmarks in England, including parts of York Minster and the Tower of London.
Availability:
While York stone is predominantly quarried in the Yorkshire region of England, it has gained popularity worldwide, and some similar-looking sandstones from other locations might also be marketed as "York stone."
Due to its popularity and limited availability, York stone can be relatively expensive compared to other types of natural stone. However, its timeless appearance and long-lasting qualities make it a preferred choice for various landscaping and construction projects where a classic, durable, and natural look is desired.

Dear madam/sir, Do you have any information on the porosity and permeability range in this sandstone? Another question is can we order a small block with a size of 20*20*20 cubic centimeters to be delivered to Spain for some university purposes?

Hel***Wrote:
We are building a rather large home and need to match stone that we used on our carriage house that was built 40 years ago. We were told this stone was called Laural Hill and was quarried in Pennsylvania. York Stone seems to be a very good match. The stone will be used on the exterior corners and window sills and steps.
