La Préalle.
Belgian Blue Stone.
This is where the story of our Belgian Blue Stone begins.
At our La Préalle quarry in Sprimont, we extract the distinctive gray-blue limestone that is so characteristic of Belgian architecture. Its fossils, including crinoids, tell the story of the tropical sea in which this stone was formed hundreds of millions of years ago.
The quarry has been in operation since the late 19th century. Today, it provides the raw material for our thresholds, flooring, siding, stairs, and custom-cut natural stone.

Vinalmont.
Meuse limestone with a refined character.
A fine texture, shades of gray, and a light patina.
At our quarry in Vinalmont, we extract an oolitic limestone from the Viséan, which belongs to the Meuse limestone family. Its fine texture is formed by small grains of limestone cemented together by calcite.
The color varies depending on the stone layer and the chosen finish. When used outdoors, Vinalmont develops a light, almost white patina over time. Indoors, its gray hues and refined texture really come into their own.
That unique character makes Vinalmont a special choice for facades, floors, stairs, and custom architectural projects.

Good to Know
Frequently Asked Questions.
Where are Renier's grooves located?
La Préalle is located in Sprimont, in the province of Liège. Our Vinalmont quarry is located in Wanze, in the Belgian Meuse region. Belgian Blue Stone comes from La Préalle; Meuse limestone comes from Vinalmont.
What is the difference between these two types of natural stone?
Belgian Blue Bluestone from La Préalle is a gray-blue limestone containing recognizable fossils, including crinoids. Vinalmont is an oolitic Meuse limestone with a fine-grained texture. Both stones have their own distinctive appearance, which is also influenced by the chosen finish.
Why does it get lighter outside in Vinalmont?
Under the influence of the outdoor environment, Vinalmont gradually develops a light, almost white patina. This natural evolution is part of the stone’s character.
What products does Renier make using stone from its own quarries?
We process our natural stone into products such as sills, facade plinths, facade cladding, flooring, stairs, coping stones, and custom-made items. We’d be happy to help you choose the right stone and finish for your project.
