How Your Project Could Benefit From Recycled Stone Products

Whether you’re embarking on an ambitious building project, a routine job which requires stone, or something completely new to you and your team, opting for recycled materials could hold an array of benefits. Not only emphasising your commitment to sustainable practices, there are actually a whole host of benefits to be found when utilising construction waste, which we’ll look through in more detail throughout this blog. Read ahead and let WM Thompson & Sons Ltd take you through everything from the adaptability of these options, to relevant jobs and applications.

An Overview

Recycled building materials can constitute any product or material that has previously been used in another way, or from another project, with all sorts of materials reused and repurposed for the sake of convenience and sustainability. Recycled materials include but aren’t limited to brick, steel, timber, and even whole elements like tiles, though the main point of focus within this blog will be recycled stone.

Recycled stone aggregates are made by reprocessing used stone materials through crushing, mixing, screening, and grading, until the final repurposed product is able to meet the required specifications. The stone materials in question might have come from a demolished building or be excess or waste from another project, but by the time they are sold on and have passed strict quality checks, they will be in a premium condition. 

Varied Projects

Viable for a number of projects, and useful enough to often be acquired in large volumes, recycled stone is a fantastic option for applications large and small. Stone aggregates can be used for a wide range of uses, be it a simple job, such as a general bulk fill or road construction task, or a more testing application, such as being laid down to establish bridge foundations.

On a smaller scale, There are many different ways that individuals and organisations can use reclaimed stone, used to make cobbled driveways or walkways for example. Reclaimed stone can even be reduced in size to thinner sections that can be used as flooring inside your home. All in all, if you have any queries about the use of our stone, WM Thompson & Sons Ltd would be more than happy to assist.

Durable And Adaptable

Among the many benefits of choosing repurposed stone instead of newer quantities, reclaimed stone can be a lot more cost-effective, especially when ordered in bulk. In terms of appearance, reclaimed stone has a certain charm to it too, taking on a timeless look which is especially appealing when used domestically. Not limited to just one variety, some of the most popular and lasting options include:



• Crushed concrete
• Hardcore
• Aggregate gravel
• Asphalt products
• Reclaimed stone
