No matter whether you live in the country or the city, your choice of building materials is influenced by many factors. For the owners of this country home, it was the rural setting that helped determine their choice of Grey Edgestone Cerastone schist from Stutex Stone.

This composite stone features on large pillars at both the front and rear of the house, as well as several walls. The schist provides a strong visual link with the surrounding landscape and introduces a sense of permanence to the design.

Stutex Stone director Lorraine Goudie says the company's extensive range of manufactured stone is designed to complement and blend with other contemporary building and roofing materials.

"Chimneys, pillars, entrance areas and gable ends are particularly well suited to the stone, which provides visual impact and adds value without a huge cost outlay," she says. "As this material is about one third the weight of natural stone, it also allows for considerable design flexibility."
