Kensington in Limestone
PRODUCT DETAILS

The Kensington is a simple, elegant and beautifully proportioned mantelpiece manufactured here in pure Turkish limestone. This exclusive design has a contemporary feel and is ideally suited to partner the Arbeia range of multi-fuel stoves or the Cast Tec range of cast-iron fireplaces. The Kensington, with a shelf length of 1350mm (53"), is also available as a full limestone suite, which includes a hearth and back panel suitable for gas or electric appliances.


We do not recommend that limestone hearths be fitted with solid fuel appliances due to the high maintenance required. A honed or polished granite hearth would be more appropriate in these circumstances.


Turkish Limestone is a natural product and can be 300 million years old. Whilst it doesn't have the veining and complex colouration of many pure marbles, limestone still has the odd imperfection and occasionally fossils can be found embedded in the material. This is considered by many to be the beauty of natural limestone.


If you are likely to be distressed by minor natural markings, the Kensington is also manufactured in two man-made micro marbles, Roman Stone (a beige colour) and Polar White. Micro marbles consist of a mixture of 95% pure marble and 5% resin enabling them to be very consistent and reliable in colouration.


The Kensington is also available for a trial period in natural Black Sandstone (looks very similar to grey slate).
