The Mexboro standard colours include PPortland, Bathstone, Hamstone, Red sandstone, Yorkstone and Cotswold stone, although with precise pigment control virtually any colour, shade or hue can be achieved. The potential for the material is almost limitless due to the ease in which it can be moulded into intricate shapes and designs by the Mexboro mould makers and craftsmen. This enables Mexboro to undertake specialist one-off projects to clients individual rquirements which are often prohibitively expensive to achieve in natural stone.
