"The Gwrhyd stone has a pleasing colour and is very high quality. The lintels and quoins were cut superbly and our specific order of thin and long cropped facing stone was carried out well"
Gwrhyd Pennant sandstone is quarried on the hills looking out over the Black mountains in to the heart of Wales. It is one of the most beautiful stone available in the UK and its natural colour variations enhance any setting. The stone is fashioned at the quarry to your individual requirements using both traditional and modern production techniques. Each stone is produced to the highest quality and environmental standards so you can be sure that you are using the very finest of building materials.
