Limestone for Places of Worship & Study
Master masons in the Middle Ages chose limestone with which to construct and adorn the most beautiful and enduring ecclesiastical and educational buildings of Europe. Many of these, including Notre Dame Cathedral and the University of Cambridge, remain in daily use and continue to be admired for their luminosity, grace and awe-inspiring engineering.
The elegance of natural limestone has traditionally been accessible only to the select few, but is now within reach thanks to the ALC Solution*, the pioneering product from American Limestone Company.
What is the ALC Solution?
Briefly, it’s pre-engineered natural limestone architectural elements and a revolutionary installation system employing individual or continuous anchors.
You get a better product at a lower cost with the same elegance as limestone fabricated and hung in the conventional manner.
Standard profiles include those designed in the Gothic, Classical and more modern traditions, while blocks in standard dimensions offer the possibility of creating a worship space using load bearing masonry.
In addition to the ALC Solution, American Limestone Company also offers a full compliment of stone fabrication services, including carved architectural accents and a stunning range of fireplace surrounds.
