Stone Paving & Modern Porcelain News | Apex Stone Sourcing - Part 5

With the great weather we are having it seems as though most projects are now full steam ahead with the industry still observing the Covid social distancing restrictions. Pictured this week are 3 Porcelain wood effect products that we will be adding to the Apex range of products. These are super durable and easy on cleaning and maintenance. A great choice when design calls for a strong connection between the external and internal environments and work exceptionally well where used in conjunction...

A nice change this week with some variety. British stones have been very much the talking point in conjunction with some listed buildings undergoing renovation that we are consulting on. These projects can be very material sensitive and quite often this is where our indigenous stones come in to play. Pictured this week are two great stones from the UK. New Riven Yorkstone which can be problematic to obtain and our Apex Monte Yorkstone. Yorkstone is widely known for its hard wearing...

Apex are still working in a contactless mode so there has been time to look at new materials and have a play-about with some samples in the afternoon sun. A new product to our range of Sandstones, is our Flamed Grey Multi Indian Sandstone. With a look and feel very reminiscent of some popular Yorkstones this will add a classy and durable finish to most projects at an affordable price. If you would like any further information, please do not hesitate...

We are looking at some great materials this week. From a black granite that we are calling Apex Cosmo, a material that will add an element of refinement at an affordable price to any project. To a specifically sourced European Limestone that has been pre-sealed with an impregnator system to protect against the ingress of stains and to aid ease of clean and maintenance. We think our customer will be happy with it. If you need any assistance or would like to...

It’s great to see that people are starting to make plans for their projects in the hope that things will soon have some reflection on life as it was. One of the projects we have been asked to look at this week called for a light and mellow Sandstone with enhanced slip resistance qualities. Our solution is this competitively priced Apex Barleycorn Sandstone from India. It is a very dense stone that has good freeze thaw characteristics and the slip...

It’s incredible to see that during these testing times the strength and kindness that both individuals and communities alike have shown, and how in the face of adversity many divides seem to evaporate. True heroes have emerged during this the early stage of the crisis in England. How lucky we are to have the NHS and the personnel that give all they have to help fighting this invisible enemy. Thank you!! Apex are currently operating in a 100%...

A bit of a different but challenging project for this bespoke fireplace crafted from a selected Portuguese Limestone. Apex first supplied a range of samples and then produced the manufacturing drawings that led to this the end result. The picture doesn’t really do it justice as it is a beast and is over 2 and a half meters in length by 1.3 meters in height. It’s now on its way to a special customer up in the North ready for installation by a...

Another very busy week for Apex and one that seems to have been dominated with enquiries for Porcelain products. Now is a great time to start thinking about your project with the better weather now not so far away and installers getting booked up by the day in readiness for the seasons ahead. Our featured product this week is a superb Porcelain Fossil Mint that has been inspired by nature and accurately imitates a light-coloured sawn Sandstone. This products offers all of the...

We are calling this one Apex Steel Grey Porcelain and it will soon be added to our growing range of products. It is stylish but at the same time affordable and is available in a range of different sizes and is sure to give any project that finishing touch that...
