Bukovica Limestone

also known as Bosnian Limestone, Bihac Limestone, Una-Sana Stone

Bosnia-Herzegovina's northwestern limestone belt, in the Una-Sana Canton near Bihac, yields dense grey-beige stones with a tactile, rustic surface. These limestones have long served Adriatic architecture for terraces, garden walls and rustic paving. Their performance in freeze-thaw environments is proven by centuries of outdoor use across the western Balkans.

Good to know

Is Bosnian limestone suitable for pool surrounds?

Yes — the dense, low-absorption varieties from the Una-Sana quarries are frost-resistant and slip-resistant when bush-hammered, making them a practical option for pool and terrace paving.

Can it be supplied in cut-to-size format?

Yes, through processing facilities in Croatia and Slovenia. Custom cuts and CNC mouldings are available, with typical lead times of 6-10 weeks from confirmed drawings.
