We’ve made Ōamaru Stone better for building
There’s no question that Ōamaru Stone’s is an incredibly versatile and creative material from an architect’s point of view – but now we’ve made it a much better material to build with – from the builder’s practical point of view as well.
Refined block processing and manufacturing
We often refer to Ōamaru Stone’s unique ability to be carved, shaped, and sculpted into intricate shapes, textures, and patterns by skilled tradespeople at the building site (and our CNC machine at the quarry). Now, using our new block processing machinery, we’ve been able to take advantage of Ōamaru Stone’s exceptional workability to eliminate the dimensional inconsistencies that used to happen when thousands of stones were cut by hand for a building project. We can also cut the stone to suit the specifics of your project, including corner stones and column stones. Ōamaru Stone is as customisable as it is versatile.
Ōamaru Stone is now easier and more pleasant to work with
We pre-joggle the stone to reduce dust and mess, and by adjusting course heights to match soffit and window heights, we’ve eliminated the need for stonemasons to cut down the top course on-site, making installation faster and more efficient, with a cleaner finish.
All you need is well-timed deliveries to your site
Having to arrange multiple deliveries and working out the quantities of pointing, mortar, and sealant you need is a hassle and takes valuable time out of your day. So we’ve had a look at that too, and now we offer premixed pointing and stone mortar that removes the need for bulk deliveries of multiple individual components – and it’s another way to reduce mess at your site. Then for the completion stage of the project, we will schedule delivery of the exact quantity of stone sealer you need, just before you need it.
