With decades of experience in the tile and stone industry both as an installer and latterly a specifier, I became disheartened with the influx of stone products on the market in the UK which did not comply with Building Regulations, British Standards and European regulations. I had visited too many projects in the UK where low quality stone, poor installation and maintenance systems had resulted in disappointment for the end user; creating a misconception that stone was a problematic and difficult material to work with.

Over the last year countless samples of stone have been sourced, tested and dismissed from all over the globe, leaving us with a very robust and unique collection of stones. We have applied the same rigorous testing methods to fixing and sealing materials, which allows us to offer a complete, warrantied specification for stone installation.

Belvedere Stone will offer architects, contractors and home-owners a collection of excellent quality, hard-wearing and versatile stone products. We offer a full NBS fixing, sealing and maintenance specification for all of our stones for contractors to follow; ensuring our stones will be installed according to current British Standards and that all tenders for installation will be like for like.

Our stones are sourced from historical areas around the world, from the Tuscany region of Italy to the mountains of North Western Vietnam. Each stone takes its name from the surrounding cultural landscape - from the Taishan Mountains of Southern China to the ancient Egyptian palace complex of Malkata.
