Old Mechanical Chiselled

The Old Mechanical Chiselled finish typically gives the Irish limestone an overall light-grey appearance with the light-grey markings directly contrasting with the darker limestone background. This finish has its origins in the type of manual cuts once administered by stonemasons to the rough surface of limestone using a flat chisel with 20 to 30 strokes per 100mm. The grooves are intermittent and mostly run either parallel to the edges or at a 45° angle. This artisan finish is extremely popular as a feature on paving and cladding.
