Description

Citadel Stone’s Ocean Reef Shellstone Slabs Large Format brings the signature coral-born limestone of our Ocean Reef range into the oversized architectural slab specification designed for grand-scale installations across luxury residential, hospitality, and commercial projects in the United States. Each slab is hand-selected from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern reef-formation deposits for fossil content, colour consistency, and structural integrity at large format. The visible record of the stone’s geological origin — shell cross-sections, coral fragments, reef sediment imprints — reads at architectural scale across the installation, becoming part of the visible design narrative rather than a decorative detail. Specified for hotel lobbies in coastal Florida resorts, Caribbean and Hawaii hospitality, luxury residential entrance halls in warm-climate USA markets, museum and gallery floors, hospitality reception architecture, sheltered exterior terraces and loggias, and the indoor-outdoor transition spaces that define contemporary warm-climate design. Sealing is essential and annual for exterior and wet-area installations. This material is optimized for warm, tropical, and subtropical climates. Cold-climate exterior applications are possible with rigorous sealing maintenance but should be limited to sheltered exposures. Citadel basalt is recommended as the more weather-resilient alternative for the most demanding cold-climate exposed exterior work.

Specifications

Size: 48″ × 24″
Origin: Middle East
Technical Details: Original source for Ocean Reef Shellstone. Citadel Stone holds the supply relationship with the specific Mediterranean and Middle Eastern deposits from which Ocean Reef Shellstone is sourced. This is not generic shellstone repackaged under a brand name; it is a specific, controlled material with consistent character across batches. Large-format slab specialization. Large-format slab production requires expertise across quarry-block selection, slab cutting, surface finishing, packaging, shipping, and installation guidance that smaller-format production does not. Citadel Stone has supplied large-format slabs to luxury hospitality, museum, and architectural commercial projects across the United States for decades. Family-coordinated stone specification. Ocean Reef Shellstone is available across polished, honed, brushed, sawn, and natural finishes, and across multiple formats including this large-format slab, standard slabs, large-format polished, and standard residential paving formats — supporting whole-project specification with material consistency across surface treatments and format scales within the same stone family. Climate-honest specification guidance. This material is recommended for warm-climate exterior work, interior applications anywhere in the USA, and sheltered exterior applications in any climate with rigorous sealing maintenance. For fully exposed cold-climate exterior work, Citadel basalt is the appropriate recommendation. The advice protects the long-term success of every project. Comprehensive sealing protocol with every order. Specific sealer recommendations, application instructions, the reapplication schedule appropriate to the specific application type, and the bead-test procedure for monitoring sealer effectiveness are supplied with every shipment. Trade support for hospitality, architectural, and luxury residential projects. Dedicated trade account programme for architects, interior designers, hospitality groups, museum and cultural-facility specifiers, and contractors working on architectural-scale projects across the United States. Custom dimensions on request. Beyond the standard large-format range, this specification is available in custom dimensions up to approximately 96″ × 48″ for bespoke architectural requirements, and in alternative thicknesses (2cm sheltered interior, 4cm heavy loading) for project-specific specifications. Restoration referral network. Citadel Stone maintains relationships with stone-restoration specialists across the United States and provides referrals for clients seeking professional restoration of large-format installations after years of service. Nationwide US delivery and worldwide shipping. Coordinated logistics to all fifty states and to international destinations, with secure crating designed specifically for large-format slab protection in transit. Escrow payment protection for new clients. First-time customers receive full payment protection through an escrow arrangement, providing complete financial security on the initial transaction. Five decades of natural stone expertise. Half a century of quarrying, finishing, and delivering premium Middle Eastern stone to projects worldwide — depth of experience that translates into reliable specification advice and consistent product quality at any scale.
