For ideas about where
and how you can use the various different types of stone we supply and information
on how our stone is produced, please read below.
RIVEN & STONE SMOOTH :
Applications :
Interiors: Kitchens, Halls, Conservatories
Exteriors: Terraces, Driveways, Paths
Formation : The stone is quarried and reduced into sizes
manageable to work, this is split along the naturally formed seams that occur
within the stone, reducing the thickness and producing a naturally riven surface.
If necessary it can be hand dressed, or sawn to provide a smooth flat surface,
whilst the different sizes are produced by chiselling. A template is used to ensure
that the sides are parallel.
For internal applications we recommend the stone is coated with a stone sealant
so that maintenance of the floor can be kept to minimal, preventing staining and
are easily wiped clean.
Internal.
Most modern residential housing have existing concrete flooring with 50mm thick
of screed on top. It may be necessary to remove the screed to make allowance for
the thickness of the stone & mortar bed.
External.
Please make allowances for drainage.
STONE & GRANITE SETS :
Applications:
Garden edging, inset panels, drives, paths
Formation: These are produced in exactly the same way as the riven stone
paving.
The granite sets are then tumbled to give them a worn and aged appearance.
Please make allowances for drainage.
Stone can be cut if necessary with the use of a powered cutting tool incorporating
a suitable diamond tipped blade which can be hired from your local tool hire centre.
