Short-haul natural stone is stone that is extracted and processed close to where it will be used. This means lower CO₂ emissions from transport, better climate adaptation and support for local value creation. Borsheim supplies Hellvikstein from the Jær region – stone that is adapted to the Norwegian climate and knows frost.

Norwegian natural stone has been tested in our climate for generations. Imported stone can have different frost properties, unknown origins and a high climate footprint. For professionals delivering projects that will last, Norwegian and locally sourced stone is a safer choice – both in terms of quality and documentation.

Yes. Borsheim offers natural stone with EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) – a third-party verified environmental declaration that documents the product's climate footprint and environmental impact throughout its entire life cycle. EPD is today a requirement in many public tenders and BREEAM-certified projects. With EPD documentation from Borsheim you have everything you need for climate accounting, tendering and environmental reporting.

For retaining walls, we recommend frost-resistant, hard-wearing natural stone with low water absorption. Hellvikstein is well-suited because it has been tested in coastal climates with temperature fluctuations and high humidity. We help you choose the right dimension and stone type for load and height.

For driveways and high-traffic areas, you need paving stones or street stones with high compressive strength and good frost resistance. Borsheim supplies Hellvikstein in standard and special dimensions, also in larger volumes for commercial projects.

Yes. Hellvikstein from Borsheim is well suited for municipal streets, squares, park areas and quays. We can assist with documentation of the stone's properties according to current NS-EN standards, as well as EPD documentation where required in the tender documents.

Absolutely. We are used to working with contractors and tradesmen who need stable deliveries over time. We also have the ability to have a short response time to changes.

Yes. We are happy to help with stone selection based on project type, load, climate and aesthetic requirements. Contact us early in the project phase – it is easier to choose the right stone before the foundation work begins.
