Building Products Using a wide range of natural building stone both from within the UK and around the globe Kirk Natural Stone Developments offer building solutions in natural stone or any building project. The materials we offer include hand selected locally sourced random walling stone, well suited to rural projects, to 20 or 25mm sandstone/granite facing systems for new build or to transform run down drab looking street facades on a wholesale basis. Whatever the building project Kirk Natural Stone Developments are always pleased to offer expertise and advice to provide a solution in natural stone. Rainscreen Cladding Rainscreen cladding in a variety of natural stone materials including polished, honed or fine picked granite, ashlar sandstone and honed limestone can be applied to a variety of building structure types. We offer architects a bespoke design surface for any situation and where required can recommend lower cost natural stone facing options, which enable stone elements to be retained along with the prestige aspect of the project. The Cost of Building Stone Natural Stone is often perceived as an expensive façade material, and it's usage therefore restricted to features rather than total façade construction. In the long term however, natural stone facades become extremely cost effective on account of their requirement for virtually no maintenance, and ability to outlast the typical 30-60 year life of other materials by an order of magnitude. This extent of lifespan is not merely a claim, because unlike any other material the longevity of natural stone facades is supported by historical evidence from the many centuries old natural stone buildings across the UK. Retro Fitting Natural stone facings can be fixed to any structurally sound building to improve appearance and extend building life. Our 20mm granite and sandstone systems, and Tier system, allow a ‘seamless’ transformation of tired looking buildings, domestic or commercial. Retro-fitting is more sustainable, kinder to the environment and more cost effective than demolition and total re-build. Before committing to the additional expense of total demolition and re-build contact us to discuss the retro-fitting option. Sustainability Sustainability is central to our business. We always consider the environmental, social and economic impacts of using the stone we source and supply. We always endeavour to lower the carbon footprint of our activities, we work closely with communities in which we operate and we consider natural habitats. We also understand the need for post quarry site restoration. The Most Sustainable Building Material Available Natural stone is the most sustainable building material available, and the only material which history has proved can create attractive long lasting places which in every sense stand the test of time. Well designed natural stone buildings are timeless, long lasting and highly cost effective on a whole life cycle basis, both financially and environmentally. Traditional or contemporary, natural stone is the most sustainable choice. Stone Kit Houses Kirk Natural Stone Developments are passionate about the many advantages of total construction in natural stone, and can help you create a beautiful new home which will stand the test of time, require very little maintenance and hold it's appearance and value better than anything else in the market.
