Burlington NatStone Inc

  In 1843 William Cavendish, Lord Burlington (later to become seventh Duke of Devonshire) brought together all the independent groups of quarrymen to form Burlington Slate Limited. The company is still owned by descendants of the Cavendish family.

  

  Today, Stone (http://g603.net) is cut from the quarry using diamond wires, a technique which is less damaging to the environment than the conventional process of blasting, and (http://maplered.com) one which produces more usable Material (http://g654.org) . Once extracted the Stone (http://g603.net) is cut, shaped and (http://maplered.com) finished by local craftsmen using both modern machinery and (http://maplered.com) traditional techniques: our cleft or riven slates are still formed by the river working the Stone (http://g603.net) along its natural grain.Quality comes naturally with a Material (http://g654.org) 400 million years in the making and (http://maplered.com) in converting that natural Material (http://g654.org) to modern building components Burlington operates an ISO 9002 Quality Assurance system.
