Returning to its prime position at the centre of the exhibition, the Stone Federation ‘Village’ provides an area reserved exclusively for Stone Federation Great Britain and its members, and offers advice and support to visitors at the show.
Federation member firms cover the full breadth of the natural stone industry, from British and international quarry operators and stone suppliers, through to sealant manufacturers, design consultants and technical experts, making the Stone Federation stand and the Stone Village a comprehensive source point for architects, developers, interior designers and clients, as well as stone companies.
At its core is the Stone Federation stand which has a stone samples board, giving you the opportunity to view more than 100 different natural stones, all quarried and supplied by Stone Federation members. And, once you have explored the Stone Village itself, you can come and have a coffee and network in the lounge area on the stand.
Additionally, a dedicated helpdesk, hosted by the Stone Federation Great Britain, will provide architects, designers and developers, builders and the stone industry itself with guidance on all aspects of stone selection, fixing and maintenance. More information on a range of industry initiatives will also be promoted including CE marking, sustainability, the Stone Heritage Register and the Ethical Stone Register.
The Ethical Stone Register continues to prove itself as a highly relevant new resource for the natural stone sector. There are now 48 stones that have been assessed to ensure their responsible and ethical criteria are met throughout the supply chain. This includes both British and international limestone, sandstone and slate.
You can find out about the Ethical Stone Register on the Stone Federation stand at the show.
