Perlatino

also known as Perla Bosnia, Herzegovina Cream Limestone, Bosnia Fossiliferous Limestone

A beige fossiliferous limestone from Herzegovina, compact and dense, exported through the Croatian port of Ploce. Known commercially as Perlatino ('little pearl'), it is prized for its consistent cream tone and high compressive strength — making it an excellent choice for driveways, walkways, terraces, and exterior paving in residential and hospitality projects. Flamed finish adds grip without sacrificing the warm stone character.

Good to know

Is Perlatino suitable for heavy-duty exterior paving?

Yes. Its dense matrix qualifies it for driveways, pool decks, and commercial walkways — particularly in formats of 5 cm thickness or more.

What finish is best for exterior slip resistance?

Flamed or sandblasted finish are standard for outdoor paving — both open the stone surface for grip while preserving the warm beige colour.

What is the export port?

Ploce, on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia — the primary gateway for stone and bulk materials from Bosnia-Herzegovina to international markets.
