HAUTEVILLE

Hauteville Limestone: Blend of Elegance, Performance, and Versatility

​

Hauteville Limestone stands out as a premium choice for architects, designers, and developers seeking a natural stone that combines classic beauty, durability, and versatility. Sourced from the historic Hauteville region in eastern France—just 500 miles from London—it is a sustainable and elegant option for both residential and commercial projects.

​

Elegance through the Warm Beige Tones

​

With its soft, warm beige color, Hauteville Limestone brings ageless sophistication to any space. Its neutral tones complement a wide range of architectural styles, making it a favored choice for both traditional and contemporary designs.

​

Exceptional Performance

​​

Engineered by nature, Hauteville Limestone offers outstanding performance:

​

• High density

• Low abrasion

• Low porosity

• Frost resistance

 

These features make it suitable for high-traffic areas, public spaces, and projects exposed to harsh weather conditions.

​

Remarkable Versatility for Indoor and Outdoor Use

​

Available in a wide range of textures and finishes, Hauteville Limestone can be used across various applications, including:

• Building façades

• Interior and exterior wall cladding

• Flooring (interior to exterior transition)

It is one of the few beige limestones that can be safely used in wet areas such as spas, hammams, saunas, swimming pools, and bathrooms—a rare quality that sets it apart in the market.

Sustainable and Locally Sourced for UK Projects

​

With its quarry located just 500 miles from London, Hauteville is an excellent choice for UK-based projects aiming to minimize carbon footprint. Compared to more distant European or non-European stone sources, its geographic proximity significantly reduces environmental impact—ideal for eco-conscious architects and developers.
