Perryfield basebed is a tightly grained stone with very little shell content, similar in looks to the Whitbed, but with a slightly more buff colour.
It is suitable for most applications as a general building stone, but not recommended in exposed areas such as paving and copings.
Carvers regard this Portland stone due to the low shell content and is used primarily as a monumental stone.
Basebed is frequently being used internally for paving in both high quality office developments and private residences.
Unlike all the other Portland Quarry’s where beds of 1 metre high or more are the norm, the bed heights for basebed are 550mm high maximum.
We have extensive stocks of this stone with blocks typically from 1 tonne upwards to 8 tonnes.
