Coral stone cladding on an interior feature wall, cream blocks in a running bond with a plant in front
Coral stone
Also called Coral blocks, Coast stone, Coral cladding
Cream-to-white limestone from the Kenyan coast, cut into blocks and cladding tiles. Light, easy to shape, and the reason so many coastal and Nairobi feature walls look the way they do.

How it is laid
Laid with mortar on a plastered or block wall, joints raked or flush. Blocks are cut to size on site with a masonry saw, so curves and pillars are straightforward.
Care, honestly
Coral is porous. Outdoors it should be sealed after laying and kept off ground that stays wet, or it will stain and green over. Indoors it needs nothing.
Other colours and large orders take 5–7 days from deposit. Stone is delivered on pallets; tell us if the site has no forklift and we send a lorry with a crew.
