also known as Bateig Stone, Piedra Bateig, Bateig Azul
From the Novelda quarries near Alicante, Bateig Blue is a distinctively cool grey-blue fossiliferous limestone widely used in contemporary European facade design. Its muted, cool palette and crisp sawn surface have made it a favourite for modern curtain-wall cladding, entrance lobbies and monolithic bathroom walls. Available in thin-panel formats for rainscreen systems.
Type-level physical facts shown. Per-lot lab values (absorption, flexural strength) confirmed at quotation.
Yes — quarries in Novelda offer panels from 20 mm thick for standard cladding to 12 mm for lightweight rainscreen systems backed with a fibre-reinforced composite.
Its low absorption and resistance to salt spray make it suitable for coastal facade cladding. It is widely used on Mediterranean waterfront hotels.
