Material index · four Shahabad limestones

The range, quarried and finished at our own yard in Kalaburagi

All four beds come off our own quarry at Miriyan village, Chincholi taluk, Kalaburagi district, Karnataka, and are cut, honed and polished at our own yard before shipping. Technical figures are drawn from our own independent laboratory testing.

Honed Shahabad Grey limestone slab, full face

01

Shahabad Grey Limestone

A fine-grained grey limestone from the Kalaburagi belt of north Karnataka, quarried and finished by our own family operation. Riven for external paving, honed for interiors, and cut, honed and polished in India so it lands in the UK ready to lay.

02

Shahabad Yellow Limestone

The warm bed of the Shahabad range: a golden buff that darkens markedly once it is wet, which is worth showing a client on both a dry and a wet sample before they specify it.

03

Shahabad Maroon Limestone

The rarest bed we work: a deep, muted purple-brown limestone with none of the redness of a sandstone. Available in limited quantity, and best used where a single distinctive floor or feature area carries a scheme.

The palest bed in the range. An off-white limestone used mainly for interior floors, where a honed or polished face lifts a room without the coldness of a white porcelain.
