Things to Consider prior to Purchase

• If you have received a sample piece please be aware that this is only a small representation of the color blends that can be present in the stone.
• As it is a natural product the veining and colour can also differ between the pieces of stone within the same pack.
• When placing your order, we recommend you order an extra 10% to allow for any breakages or cutting that is required
• Order enough of the product to cover the entire area you wish to pave, as the color can vary through different seams in the quarry. The color tones of today’s order will not be the same as an order for the same product at a later date.
• Consider where you are going to be laying the stone. If the area is shaded, the stone will be more likely to attract organic growths that result in staining, as it will remain damp for longer periods. If the stone is going to be in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of the day, you can expect some fading over time, especially with dark colored stone
• Products being delivered direct to site/homeowners will be delivered kerbside from our merchants. It is important that the driver will have easy access and manoeuvrability at the delivery site. Please not that the drivers cannot unload very far from the vehicle, so you will need to consider how the products will be moved to the project area.
• Finally consider what the stone is going to be used for. Not all of our products are suitable for vehicular traffic.
• Take care when removing the packaging and banding and when removing the product out of the crate as the crates may have weakened during transit and could be unstable.
• The product is quite heavy, and some larger pieces can weigh over 55lb. Consider this when arranging the delivery, as you may need appropriate lifting equipment, or an extra pair of hands.
• Once you receive your shipment of natural stone inspect all of the product. If you have any issues with the delivery, report them straight away and do not lay the stone.
• After you have unpacked the delivery, consider the environment and recycle the packaging products. There could be wooden crates, plastic ties and plastic wrapping on the delivery, which should all be recycled. Any waste stone could also be recycled and used for aggregates.
• This is a beautiful, natural product and each piece will be unique. You can expect color and veining variances between each piece of stone. Some of our ranges have riven surfaces and some pieces may be more riven than others, which adds to the natural rustic charm of the product.
• Please note that all product sizes, weights and thicknesses stated are nominal.
