NATURAL STONE SHOW PREVIEW


In Hard Surfaces new materials will occupy their own exhibition space but will be alongside more British stone than ever in the Natural Stone Show, from companies stamping their authority on the indigenous stone industry – Albion Stone, Lovell Stone Group, Johnston Quarry Group, Stamford Stone Company, Johnsons Wellfield Quarries, Welsh Slate, Bath Stone Group and others.


Even the familiar Portland limestone, from which much of London is built, can produce an occasional surprise and Albion, which extracts it, has just come across an Ostrea Patch Reef Whitbed in one of its mines. It is in limited supply and is being sold as a premium product reserved for particularly discerning customers on the finest of projects. Of course, while many projects use indigenous stones, even more use imported stones, many of which these days come from India and China, although Europe also supplies a proportion. You will find plenty of examples of stone from all over the world at the Natural Stone Show. There will be a good selection of exhibitors from Chinese and Indian pavilions – some familiar, some hoping to break into the market. And European stone has been enjoying a renaissance in the UK of late, particularly, but not exclusively, its marbles. One reason is a growing appreciation of the shorter lead times of stone supplied from Europe compared with the Far East. Italy, Spain and Portugal have all enjoyed an increase in exports to the UK. One of the Portuguese companies exhibiting at the Natural Stone Show, Aire Limestones has even joined Stone Federation Great Britain in order to assist it to penetrate the market in the UK and Ireland. That technology will also be on show at the exhibition, from leading international manufacturers such as Breton, Intermac, Omag, Thibaut, Prussiani, Comandulli, and more, as well as the latest developments in products for fixing, sealing, cleaning, and otherwise maintaining natural and engineered stones from companies such as Lithofin, Ardex, Fila, Kerakoll, Raimondi, Schluter, Stone Care Europe and Trimline Group

To help the industry's professionals get a more complete and satisfying understanding of what can be a mind-boggling plethora of products and services on offer, the first day of the Natural Stone Show is Architects’ Day, hosted by international stone expert Vince Marazita from Stone Trends International. This RIBA-accredited workshop explores the conceptual advantages of stone design through a series of case studies delivered by stone consultants and architects. As well as explaining how to get the most from designing and specifying stone, there is also a guided tour of the Show to highlight some of the materials and processes the industry offers and a complimentary sit-down lunch to network at. Building professionals can register at bit.ly/architectsday


In total around 50 seminars are available over the three days.
