Step inside the world of Oamaru Stone interiors
The rich honey tones of Oamaru Stone makes it the ideal material for crafting stunning interiors for houses and commercial spaces. Looking and feeling warm, Oamaru Stone adds an extra element of cosyness that’s especially welcome in wintertime.
But how can stone be warm? It’s stone!
Well there’s something special about Oamaru Stone that you have to experience to truly understand.
Its unique velvety, slightly porous texture traps the air and retains heat. The porosity also lets Oamaru Stone ‘breathe.’ By helping to regulate temperature and humidity it creates a more comfortable and healthier indoor environment in winter – when we tend to close up our houses to keep in the heat but restricting fresh air flow.
Explore the great indoors
Oamaru Stone is one of the most versatile building materials you can imagine – you’re probably familiar with its use in ornate facades on grand buildings, or as the clean-lined block exterior walls that are a feature of many of the latest architectural masterpeices. But some of the most interesting applications we’re seeing lately are indoors.
Oamaru Stone Interior Walls
Its unique texture, honey tones, and our ability to CNC shape custom reliefs, complex curves and details makes Oamaru Stone a great option for interior walls in any room or commercial space.
What’s more, Oamaru Stone is a great heat conductor, so it warms up quickly and it retains heat. As well as helping Oamaru Stone to breathe, the slight porosity in its surface also means it stays warmer for longer than equivalent walls built in concrete or timber, helping to maintain a comfortable, constant interior temperature.
Healthy Homes
Oamaru Stone interior walls are also naturally resistant to bacteria and mold – which is perfect if you’re considering building in a moist humid area. With our nationwide delivery service building with Oamaru Stone in the North Island is an extremely viable option.
Fireplace surrounds
The fireplace is always the centrepiece of a room, and you can turn it into an even more dramatic design statement with an Oamaru Stone fireplace surround and hearth. You can do anything from French Chateau inspired grandeur to set off a traditional open fire, to minimalist modern lines to add an extra feeling of warmth to steel log burners.
