This is a hard question to answer as new quarries of Moleanos limestone and alternative limestone can open at any time, changing the balance of reserves for the future. In addition, these limestones are normally extracted in protected natural areas. If these protected areas change, that may increase the possible extraction area of Moleanos considerably.  But overall, all of these limestones we present here have considerable reserves and are limestone to be considered in the near future.

Application of limestone in colder climates will depend on numerous factors including average temperature on winter, number of freezing days, wind, rain, thickness and size of stone used, and more. However, the types of Moleanos that are commonly supplied for exterior applications in colder climates are the Moleanos Vidraco, Moleanos Classic and Moleanos Blue (for flooring or horizontal applications). For vertical applications such as cladding, all the other limestones are commonly used.

The Moleanos is a well-known Portuguese limestone with a large commercial structure. It can be found on basically any country and is a major limestone that many local retailers and distributors will very likely have for offer. However, each supplier may decide to give its own name to the Moleanos limestone (for example, Moleanos White, Gascogne Beige and many others). If you have any questions about the Moleanos you found at a local supplier, feel free to send us a picture and we will be able to confirm exact variation.
