Directly from the foothills of the Natural Park of Serras de Aire e Candeeiros, the Moleanos Shelly limestone is characterized for presenting different variations adapted to all tastes and environments. This type of stone is known for easily adapting to any environment in architectural terms, its aesthetical adaptability is easily referenced when starting a large dimension project.

This beige limestone with fossils, integrates an alignment of grains and dimension fossils, which ends up giving the stone itself personality. It is recommended for interior or exterior cladding as well as interior flooring.

Finishings

Polished

Abrasive treatments with repeated applications result in a shiny surface, highlights the colour and properties of the natural stone.

Sandblasted

Blasting silica sand against the material through an air gun and generates very small craters.

Honed

A honed finish is identical to the polished finish, the surface is smooth but without glare or light reflections.

Brushed

Abrasive brushes under high pressure generate a touch-sensitive and smooth surface of natural stone.

Bushammered

Hitting the material, with a masonry tool called a bush hammer, that generates uniformly distributed craters of different sizes over the surface of natural stone.

Leather

Brushing the slab with a range of brushes and the result is a slightly undulating surface, very soft, warm and smooth to the touch.

Scratched

Scratched finish is applied so that the surface exhibits a texture with straight reliefs and natural colours.

Splitted

Splitting stone either by hand or by machine so that the surface exhibits a natural quarry texture.

Sawn

Rough and irregular surface with small furrows and undulations in a mate tone.
