Sill & Coping Stone - Weatheredge Limestone

THE STONE

Weatheredge Limestone comes from Colonial's own quarry on Manitoulin Island in Northern Ontario — stone pulled from the largest freshwater island in the world. Its density ratings place it among the most dense limestone in North America, which is exactly what you want in a stone that lives outside: it shrugs off freeze-thaw cycles and performs beautifully in and around water. The colour runs from warm beige and gold through soft blue-grey, often in the same piece, with natural veining that gives every slab its own character. The famous "weathered edge" — the deeply grooved natural quarry face — is where the stone gets its name, and left exposed it looks like it's been in place for a century.

A sill is small stone doing a big job: it finishes the opening, throws water clear of the wall, and quietly signals that the masonry was done right. Coping does the same for a wall — capping it against weather while giving the eye a clean line to follow.

In Weatheredge, sills and coping bring that beige-to-blue-grey warmth to window lines, wall caps, and porch edges — and because this is among the densest limestone on the continent, it holds its face through Canadian freeze-thaw where softer stone spalls.

YOUR CHOICES — HOW TO ORDER

Sills and coping are ordered two ways, and the selector handles both:

Exact Length (per piece) — for window sills, door sills, and runs where each piece is a specific size. Pick thickness, set depth and length to any inch, and we bill the next stocked size and cut to your exact number — cutting and sawn ends included. This is the mode for "I need 9 sills at 41″."

Random Lengths (per linear foot) — for wall caps, parapets, and longer coping runs. You buy total linear feet; pieces arrive in mixed lengths within the range shown. And here's the mason's secret: random lengths aren't the budget option — they're often the better-looking option. Mixed lengths mean staggered joints and natural coursing, the way stone walls have been capped for centuries. A wall capped in identical pieces reads manufactured; a wall capped in random lengths reads like it grew there. The selector even estimates how many pieces your footage works out to.

Drip cut. Choose Yes for window sills — a saw kerf under the front overhang that breaks the water's path so it drips clear instead of tracking back and staining the wall below. Choose No for coping and caps that don't need it.

Edges. 1 L-Edge Rock-Face (the classic: chiselled front, sawn everywhere else) comes standard. 2 L-Edge Rock-Face adds a second chiselled edge — the right call when both faces of a wall cap show; it's a small per-linear-foot upcharge the selector adds to your cart automatically. 3 Edge and All 4 Rock-Face for fully exposed caps and pier caps, or Saw Cut Smooth throughout for a crisp modern profile.

Smaller orders include a flat crating & handling charge that's removed automatically as your order grows — the selector shows it before you commit.

Every price is per piece before volume discount — the discount applies automatically in the cart as your order total grows, so larger orders always price themselves.
