Built in the 1720s in the Palladian style on the banks of the Thames in Twickenham, Marble Hill is one of London's finest historic houses. Its elegant interiors provided inspiration for Lapicida's natural limestone floor, combining understated luxury and enduring elegance.

Lapicida is proud to have been chosen to partner with English Heritage to create an exclusive collection of genuine limestone floors. Each hard-wearing stone is available in three formats: 400mm x 400mm Square and 400mm x 400mm Octagon with insert. 

Each stone has been chosen for its character and quality as the best natural stone stands the test of time. We hand-finish the stone with diamond brushing, which improves durability and gives each stone a distinctive character and a desirable, aged appearance, adding a touch of historical grandeur to any space. This makes the collection the ideal choice for giving interiors a sense of timeless beauty and classic sophistication, whether in a traditional property or a contemporary setting.

Note: Colour variation is one of the characteristics of a natural stone, adding charm and authenticity.

Stones in the English Heritage collection are supplied as cut and processed, as per an original stone floor, meaning there will be a colour variation from stone to stone. If a client would like a more uniform colour across a floor, then Lapicida can offer a selection service at £25 per square metre. If you would like to specify the selection service, please contact Lapicida to discuss before placing your order.

When installing stone, dry laying and blending from crate to crate are important and often critical. An accomplished natural stone installer will work to British Standard BS 5385.
