Mine Report No 122
Portland Stone Blocks and Slabs Available from Stock
At Albion Stone, we are continually looking for ways to make Portland Stone easier to specify, select and purchase. Whether you need large Portland Stone blocks for a major project or individual slabs for a smaller or more immediate requirement, we want customers to have clear information about what stone is available and the sizes they can realistically obtain.
Our latest Portland Stone Mine Report No.122 provides up to date information on the average and maximum block sizes available from our different beds of Portland Stone, together with current and future availability.
Portland Stone Block Sizes and Availability
Portland Stone is a natural material, so block dimensions will inevitably vary. Understanding typical block sizes at an early stage can help when designing, specifying and planning a natural stone project.
Our Mine Report gives customers a clearer picture of the stone currently being produced from our mines, including maximum block volume, maximum length and maximum bed height, alongside average dimensions based on recent production.
The report covers:
- Jordans Basebed
- Stonehills Whitbed
- Jordans Whitbed
- Fancy Beach Whitbed
- Grove Whitbed
- Heritage Portland Stone
- Bowers Roach
- Ostrea Patch Reef Whitbed
It also provides an indication of current unallocated Portland Stone availability over the next 0 to 3 months, alongside estimated unallocated stock and planned production for the following 3 to 12 months.
This makes it easier to consider both the type of Portland Stone required and the likely block sizes and availability when planning a project.
Portland Stone Slabs Available from Stock
For customers who do not require bespoke slabs, our Portland Stone Slab Stock List provides another way to purchase Portland Stone.
Rather than simply choosing a stone type and ordering bespoke production, customers can browse the individual slabs we already have available in our stock yard. Each slab can be selected and added to a basket, allowing customers to choose the specific slab sizes they require.
Because the slabs have already been produced and are held in stock, they are available for immediate dispatch. Stock slabs are also offered at a considerably lower price than our standard bespoke slabs.
This can provide a particularly useful option where customers can design around available dimensions, require material quickly or are looking for a more economical way of using genuine Portland Stone.
A Growing Stock of Portland Stone Slabs
Our slab stock is continually growing as more material becomes available, giving customers an increasing choice of Portland Stone types and dimensions.
We are already pleased to see customers making use of the service and selecting slabs directly from our available stock.
By publishing both our Portland Stone Mine Report and our Slab Stock List, we want to give customers greater visibility of the stone we have available and make it easier to find the right material for their project.
Whether you are looking for Portland Stone blocks for a large scale project or individual Portland Stone slabs available for immediate dispatch, you can check our latest availability before ordering.
