Migné Limestone: A Versatile French Limestone for Heritage Restoration and New Builds
Migné limestone, a fine-grained, chalky oolitic stone quarried in western France, is gaining popularity among stonemasons, particularly in the UK. Renowned for its excellent carving properties, this versatile stone is ideal for both heritage restoration and new construction projects.
Why Choose Migné Limestone?
-
Heritage Restoration: This limestone is being widely used to restore historic buildings in northern France, where similar local limestone sources have been depleted.
-
New Build Homes: Its ease of availability and low wastage rates make it an attractive choice for new build homes, especially those incorporating traditional stonemasonry elements.
-
UK Compatibility: The climate in northern France closely resembles the UK's, making Migné limestone a suitable alternative to Clunch limestone.
