Pooil Vaaish Black Limestone processes raw blocks of unique black limestone from the Scarlett peninsular, into high-end bespoke finished products for indoor and outdoor spaces. These include statement pieces such as fireplaces, vanity tops and architectural features, as well as signs, tiling and flagstones.
They have invested substantially in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility with the latest in Italian CNC technology, enabling them to convert a block of quarried stone into polished slabs and finished products all under one roof. This is only 3 miles from the quarry instead of the 2500 mile round trip the stone previously had to take to southern Europe!
Their experienced staff work to international standards of quality, environmental impact and health and safety. The company is working towards ISO 14000 certification (Environmental Management) and have already taken a number of steps to protect our natural resources. This includes a complete rewiring of the workshop, offices and showroom, replacement of all lighting with energy efficient units and installation of a new energy efficient central heating boiler.
They have also undertaken the replacement of all clear roof panels in the workshop so that electrical lighting is unnecessary during daylight hours, and the installation of a new wall with sound insulation protects the adjoining SPAR garage and shop from excess machinery noise. Furthermore, they have installed a full water runoff drainage system and water recycling unit to reclaim and reuse 95% of the water used in the production process; and the team is using online management systems to make their operation as paperless as possible.
In support of our community and island, Pooil Vaaish Black Limestone is a proud corporate sponsor of the Manx Wildlife Trust. They are also working with The Creative Network and the Grenaby Studio artists to provide space for creative workshops and meetings and a venue for exhibitions and festivals. A number of charities and community organisations also receive subsidised or free awards and plaques.
