Indonesian natural stone
Paras Stone
A light, textured Indonesian stone for wall cladding and garden walls.
Overview
Paras Stone is a light Indonesian stone with an open, textured face. It is a wall material first: the surface is not even, and that unevenness is the reason it gets specified.
Because the face varies from piece to piece, confirm the appearance of the batch before you commit to a design that depends on an even surface.
Appearance and variation
Light and textured, with an open face rather than a polished one. No two pieces carry the same surface, and the character of the stone comes from that. It is best judged as a wall material, viewed at the distance people will actually see it from.
Tested technical properties (water absorption, density, slip rating, frost resistance) are not published here, because no test data has been supplied for this stone. If your specification calls for a tested value, ask for it in the enquiry and we will confirm what can be provided and what cannot.
Sizes and finishes
What we need to quote this stone
Quoted per order
Paras is quoted per wall or paving run. Where a wall is seen from one side only, say so, because that changes how the piece is cut and how the visible face is finished.
Tell us five things and we can quote:
- Thickness
- Format and nominal size
- Surface finish
- Edge treatment
- Packing unit
Formats, thickness and finish are quoted against your order rather than published as a fixed list, because what the block allows and what the finish needs change from one order to the next. Send the schedule or the drawing with your enquiry and we will confirm what we can produce for it.
Applications
What this stone is asked for

- Paving borders
- Planters and raised beds
These are the uses this stone is usually asked for. Whether it suits your project depends on the finish, the thickness and how your contractor will fix it, so confirm the application in your enquiry before you specify.

Questions
Paras Stone: what buyers ask
What finish is Paras Stone supplied in?
It is a textured, open-faced stone rather than a polished one. Confirm the face you want with the enquiry and we answer for the format you need, because the face and the format are decided together.
Can Paras Stone be used underfoot?
It is usually asked for as a wall material. If you are considering it for a floor or a paving run, send the application and the finish you have in mind and we confirm before you specify rather than after.
How much variation should I expect between pieces?
The face is not uniform, and that is the character of this stone. If a wall needs an even, repeatable surface, another stone in the range will hold that better, and we will say so in the enquiry.
