Production Requirements

• Big and bulky granite stones.
• Anti-skate design

Weather and Climate

Birmingham’s climate, characterized by frequent rainfall and temperature fluctuations, poses challenges for natural stone applications.  These conditions can lead to:

• Weathering and erosion of stone surfaces
• Potential for frost damage in winter

Urban Environment

The urban setting of Paradise Circus presents additional challenges:

• Air pollution can accelerate stone degradation
• High foot traffic areas require durable stone solutions

Solutions

Material Selection

Careful selection of appropriate natural stone types is crucial:

• Use of durable, weather-resistant stones like granite for high-traffic areas
• Application granite matching local architectural styles
• Incorporation of non-porous stones in areas prone to water exposure
