About Yorkstone Buff
Yorkstone is perhaps the most recognisable building stone in England — used for centuries to build the streets, walls, and buildings of Yorkshire and beyond. This buff-toned gritstone has a warm, honeyed colour and a naturally coarse texture that weathers beautifully over time. As a cladding slip, it brings that unmistakable northern English character to any project, from traditional terrace renovations to brand new builds.
