API Crema Sanza is a unique light grey limestone that offers architects an attractive alternative to the ubiquitous Yorkstone that is specified by many Landscape Architects in the UK and Ireland. The stone is hard wearing and ideal for paving and robust environments.

One major benefit of API’s Crema Sanza is that it can be used in a multitude of formats including cladding, ashlar, paving or walling, similar to that of the hard Irish and North UK Limestones that are available on the market.

API Crema Sanza has been supplied for many commercial properties throughout Europe and large residential properties in the UK and USA. These include:

• NHS Care Home near Bilbao.
• Residential House in Miami.
• Large Residential Villa in Alicante.

API Laguna has a base colour of white and has small amounts of shells and fossils within the make-up of the stone. Harder in surface than that of the sandstones means that it is more suitable for thin cladding due to its strength and rigidity. 

API Laguna is exclusively available to API Stone and has already proved a firm favourite and material of choice for some exclusive residential properties primarily in the Greater London area.

With a large percentage of the prestigious properties built in London being built in Limestone then our White limestone definitely fits the demographic of southern England more than in the north.

Residential projects of note are as follows

• Buildings 15 & 16, Woolwich Arsenal, London.
• 38 The Bishops Avenue, London.
• 42 The Bishops Avenue, London.
• Private Residence Virginia Waters
