Infinity. It is the only stone which can be reused without change to its strength or characteristics.

Northern Kerala has a broad geological and geographic topography of prolonged rainfall, intermittent dry seasons and slopping terrains which is favorable for the formation of strong and good quality laterite stone. Our stones are supplied from this region.

The methods of quarrying, dressing and construction all are entirely different from other stone masonry materials. Laterite blocks are soft for easy quarrying and shaping, but they become hard when exposed to atmospheric oxygen. The ease of cutting and shaping laterite and hardening with age due atmospheric exposure makes its use different and versatile in building applications. Manual quarrying and dressing was adopted in the past was more laborious and time consuming. It consists of the following steps: (i) Removal of top soil and leveling the surface, (ii) Marking lines on leveled horizontal bed of laterite, (iii) Moving cutters through these lines up to desired depth of stone, and (iv) Dis-lodging stones manually using bars and hauling to construction site.
