What Makes Us Different

Hinuera stone is a natural and volcanic stone that is only found in a small settlement in the Waikato, and is named after its place of origin. It has been quarried from the hills of Hinuera since 1893, but has been used on a larger scale since 1954. Hinuera stone is soft and porous material, allowing it to absorb water and moisture. Hinuera stone is predominantly used as cladding on houses and for other decorative purposes, such as feature walls, fences and entrance ways.

During the build a lot of dust settles on the pointing and the face of the Hinuera stone. If this is not removed, it will leave streaking and uneven discolouration during the sealing process.
