Create a time-worn aesthetic for your property with our hard wearing calibrated riven limestone paving. Combining a warm mix of blue and grey, it’s the perfect solution for pathways and patios.
If you are tired of mowing the lawn and maintaining the look of grass, consider natural stone paving as a low maintenance alternative. Practical for family life and perfect for creating a long lasting space, our Indian sandstone is a no-brainer when it comes to garden landscaping.
Calibrated paving means that the slabs have been cut down to a consistent thickness, therefore they are quicker and easier to lay as you do not need to keep adjusting your mortar bed to achieve a level patio surface.
Natural limestone paving is also colourfast, unlike concrete paving, where the paving typically fades in direct sunlight.
However limestone is porous, which means that it is not impervious to spills and weathering. Your stone can be protected using Ceetect Aqua, our water-based sealant that will also minimise the impact on the colour and natural appearance of your limestone paving.
