The calculator for the area coverage of decorative aggregates is an approximate guide and is based on a number of factors, including but not limited to the following:

  • How level the base is
  • What the area is to be used for
  • The type of aggregate to be used.

5. Calibrated Paving

5.1 Calibrated paving has a tolerance in thickness and levelness of +/- 5mm

6. Aggregate weights

6.1 All weights of decorative aggregates are approximate as they depend upon the moisture content at the time of filling.

6.2 Minimum weight is 850kg.

To enable us to supply the products at the lowest possible price, we will not be held responsible for every small imperfection.

9.5 In the event of badly damaged or faulty goods, we must be notified within 48 hours of the delivery.

9.8 Sizes stated are subject to variations in the manufacturing processes are nominal and for guidance only. Some of the smaller sizes are slightly less than stated to allow for pointing.

9.9 The company shall be under no liability in respect of natural and geological variations occurring in terms of colour, markings, and texture of these natural products.

10.0 Samples are not a definite exact match in terms of colour, size, and texture to any products sold, as all our products have natural variations beyond our control. where a customer has purchased more then one paving pack, we recommend laying products mixed together from different packs. Specifically, colours can vary from batch to batch.

10.0 All natural paving is porous in varying degrees. The installer must be competent to understand the varying requirements of protecting the product.

10.1 To minimize damage in transit, porcelain paving is stood vertically and strapped together. A minimum of 3 able bodied persons must be present to secure the pack when the strapping is cut. Failure to do this could result in bodily injury and is not the responsibility of the company.

10.2 Mineral oxidation (Rust like look) is a natural phenomenon  with some natural stone,  and the company cannot be responsible for this. Some patio cleaners contain hydrochloric acid and must not be used on natural stone paving.

10.3 All natural stones have pores which absorb water. Sometimes reflected stains from the mortar underneath can show on the surface of the slab. Always use a professional installer. The stone must be laid on a full bed of mortar (Not the spot method). It is better to brush a primer onto the underside of the slab before laying as this helps prevent staining 

 10.4 We recommend ordering 10% more than your actual requirements to cover breakages and any cutting you may need to do. If you can return any broken paving to our site we can replace (Above 5% breakage) 

10.5 If purchasing multiple packs, always lay by mixing the packs together to achieve the best shade mix
