Does Haddonstone's cast stone statuary age?
Yes! Haddonstone products age similar to how quarried-stone that has been chiseled straight out of the ground would. Over time, and as it gets exposed to the elements in the garden, and our great British weather, the cast stone will mature, darken in colour and even in some cases, be susceptible to moss growth. This is all a natural process, and one that makes the stonework look more aged than it is, offering a traditional, classic look that is effortlessly able to blend into the surroundings around your home.
Are Haddonstone products sustainably made?
Yes! Haddonstone as a brand have their own commitments to crafting products in an environmentally and sustainable way. To create their cast-stone, they only use the highest-grade of natural limestone, which is sourced right here in Britain at Longcliffe quarry. Meaning that the main materials used to create these fantastic stone pieces are obtained nationally, rather than importing from abroad.
Longcliffe quarry boasts a strict environmental management system, which includes multiple international standards and regulations that it follows, including those for; mineral resource efficiency, biodiversity and landscape, woodland management, energy management and renewable energy.
