Additional Information:

Although Islamabad Limestone has some natural limitations, advancements in material science and the application of nano-coatings have significantly improved its performance. This stone can also be used for building facades, but it is still not recommended for flooring in high-traffic areas. It is crucial to avoid using this stone for external facades in humid regions.
For facade applications, all stone pieces—regardless of type or origin—must be properly anchored (scoped) to minimize the risk of detachment.
The decorative stone quarry is located in Kermanshah Province, near the western region of Islamabad city.
Approximately 5,000 tons of Islamabad Limestone are extracted monthly.
