Quarried from limestone deposits around the Cotswolds, these stones are the most rustic option.
Left to weather and split but finished by hand, these stones are roughly 2ft long with at least one nail hole. Like the Heritage stones, the natural stones are installed using a diminishing or graduation, with the largest stones at the eave smallest at the ridge.
Typically heavier than Heritage stones, some of the largest eave stones can be over 50 lbs each.
Natural stones can be ordered new or as reclaimed stones. They are sorted by size and shipped in pallets directly to the job site. Due to the rough split finish, a bit of extra work is required to get some of the pieces to fit.
Natural Cotswold stone roofs are expected to last over 100 years in most weather conditions. If your project is in a location with a particularly harsh climate, please discuss this with one of our team.
