The stone See stone in all its low carbon, hard-wearing, resilient variety, from indigenous sandstones, limestones and slates to ornamental marbles, granites and semi-precious onyx from all over the world at the exhibition.
Granite. Marble. Limestone. Sandstone. Slate. Schist. Basalt..... stone comes in a lot of different forms and has a lot of uses in construction, from walls and roofs to paving and floors; for kitchen worktops and bathroom vanities, for splashbacks, feature walls, shower trays and wall linings. Stone enhances homes, hotels and the headquarters of international conglomerates. It regenerates city centres and defines villages all over the country. It comes from local sources and from all over the world.
No wonder its popularity just keeps increasing. The natural stone market in the UK is more than five-and-half times the size it was when the first Natural Stone Show was held in 1995. And as sustainability becomes more of a concern, stone's message has only improved.
What could be more sustainable than building with the raw material the planet is made of? It is dug up, sawn and shaped. It is used just as nature made it, without the need of any high-energy, CO2 producing kilns or smelting plant.
What could be more natural... more environmentally friendly... more aesthetically pleasing than to build with the rock the planet so generously provides? Come and see it for yourself in all its diversity at the Natural Stone Show.
The processes One of the reasons stone, both natural and engineered, continues to become ever more popular is that it is more feasible now to use it in innovative and exciting ways. That has happened because the machinery, tools and consumables used by the stone industry have become ever more sophisticated, thanks to the digital revolution.
Once stone saws cut in straight lines and stonemasons shaped the masonry. Not anymore. Today's five, six, even seven interpolated axes machines work at an
The hard surfaces The stone processing industry has increased its pallet of products on offer by encompassing a new generation of quartz, ceramic and sintered stone materials, which have at least doubled the size of the market for interiors for the stone industry and continue to take market share, particularly from plastic laminated wood-based products.
Although engineered quartz is now well-established for kitchen worktops, there is a whole host of new ceramic and sintered products that have only become available because of the level of sophistication of computer-controlled machinery and diamond tooling already used by the stone processing industry.
The range of products has grown to the point where the organisers of the Natural Stone Show believed the sector merited its own separate showcase and so launched the Hard Surfaces exhibition to highlight these products.
There will also be a seminar programme dedicated to them to help unravel some of
the developments and talk about future possibilities – because there is every indication that there is a lot more still to come from this product area. Indeed, 136 of the latest innovations will be shown in a feature called Innovation meets design curated by MaterialDistrict, one of the leading match-making platforms for innovative materials.
incredible pace, controlled by computers, to a high degree of accuracy, making even complex shapes not only achievable but affordable.
As the industry has grown and more machines are used, so the price of the diamond tooling the machines use has also fallen. It is not only the purchase price that is lower, but the tools last longer and produce better finishes, producing compound economies.
Then there are all the developments of new materials and processes for fixing, installing and laying stone, sealing its surface, cleaning and maintaining it, making it easier to use for the processor, installer and end user.
The latest developments in the machines, tools and consumables will be on display at the Natural Stone Show alongside the stone to complete the stone industry story.

Taking place from 11.45 –12.45 Els Zijlstra will be delivering a session that explores the latest innovations in Hard Surface design. Founder and creative director of MaterialDistrict, Els studied architecture at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands where she has also been a guest professor. Sought after for her expertise in pioneering materials Els has presented at universities across the world including Toronto, Tokyo, Tel Aviv, Melbourne, Seoul, Madrid and Rome. Free to attend in South Gallery Room 4, the seminar can be accessed from the back of the Hard Surfaces Show.

MaterialDistrict have created a 200m² curated experience of 136 international surfaces at this year’s Hard Surfaces Show. Unexpected performance and innovative aesthetics will be found in materials featured for their light weight, their recycled content, their durability and other distinct properties and visual appeal. There are products for exterior and interior use created to satisfy both form and function
The development of hard materials is all about new surfaces, sustainable challenges, and creative digital techniques for smarter ways to add that wow-factor to construction. What are the latest developments? As well as those materials already familiar to the sector such as sintered, solid surfaces and quartz, how about cast basalt; industrial metallic finishes; acoustic lightweight concrete; curvy natural stone paper; 3D printed structural support beams; recycled trash terrazzo; translucent materials; others that absorb CO²; smart composites – even one combining stone with wood; water-absorbing tiles; and much more…… you've got to see it… touch it… experience it to believe it. Come and be inspired.
Thursday 2 May Innovation meets design Seminar
Flood Rain(a)Way’s ‘Flood’ tile by Fien Dekker is an innovative tile that can visibly accommodate rainwater.
Graphic Relief Digital files are used to create highly detailed relief moulds into which liquid material is poured and then allowed to set before sealing. Different colours and finishes can be created by altering the ingredients, adding pigments or other materials.
LavaThese tiles are made of Icelandic lava and are ideal as a paving material.
Basalt Extremely hard tiles made for heavy industrial use, but also featuring a beautiful metallic sheen.
Black GoldThis material is a residue of the oil industry revealing the unique properties and aesthetic qualities of retreated asphalt.
LicreteDeveloped by Czech designers Gravelli, these concrete building blocks are partly translucent, due to added glass or polymer elements that let light through.

Stone Federation VillageLocated in the centre of the exhibition, the Village celebrates the renaissance in British Stone over the last 20 years and features the stone producers, consultancies and masonry companies supporting it. Discover training schemes being promoted by the industry; the latest Health & Safety initiatives; and find out about the Ethical Stone and Stone Heritage Registers.
Conservation AreaStone plays a vital role in maintaining the built heritage of this country. Is there a stately home, important civic building or monument that does not include stone? Stone is also prevalent in many modest listed buildings and conservation areas. The sector has its own Conservation Area at the exhibition, co-ordinated by Historic England and supported by the Institute of Historic Building Conservation, the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings and the English Stone Forum. Free advice, case studies and forums can be accessed to help you select the correct stone for building repair.
Tile AwardsAnnounced on the 12 April, the TTA Awards span 16 categories. Celebrate excellence and find out more about the winners in a dedicated feature area at the Hard Surfaces Show.
Visitor attractions
Natural Stone Awards GalleryBe inspired by award-winning stone projects. Organised by Stone Federation Great Britain every two years, the Natural Stone Awards recognises projects which exhibit exemplary design and execution of stonework. These projects give a useful insight into the use of stone today and will be displayed in a photographic gallery in the Natural Stone Show exhibition hall.
