Summary Uses:
Cladding
Based on the recent test data, the Wath blue is suitable for use as external vertical cladding on plain walling, protection would be needed for exposed surfaces.
Internal Flooring
Wath limestone is suitable for use in moderately trafficked areas, such as an office environment (refer to BRE IP 10/00 for further details).
