About Dune Smooth Sandstone Paving

Natural Characteristics

Dune Sawn Sandstone will contain natural blemishes, veining, and small holes, all of which are characteristics of natural stone.

Receiving Your Delivery

Sawn stones can contain small chips to the corners and edges. This is an unavoidable result of the production, handling and transportation process and is not considered a defect. Most small chips are unnoticeable after the stone has been installed and pointed. On arrival, sawn stones can also display residual moisture and may need cleaning and drying before installation or pre-sealing.

Wastage & Returns

Sawn stones can contain small chips to the corners and edges. This is an unavoidable result of the production, handling and transportation process and is not considered a defect. Most small chips are unnoticeable after the stone has been installed and pointed. On arrival, sawn stones can also display residual moisture and may need cleaning and drying before installation or pre-sealing.

Dimensional Tolerance

London Stone recommends ordering an additional 10% to allow for wastage, cuts, and the occasional piece which you may not like the look of. London Stone will not refund, or exchange stone based on variation in colour, texture, natural characteristics, or small chips.

Distribution of Slabs

It is advisable to sort through all crates on arrival so that colour variation can be distributed evenly throughout the paved area. At this point, any slabs with heavier chipping, colour variation or markings can be set aside to be used as cuts or wastage.

FAQs

Colour variation

Please view our colour variation pictures under the Specifications & Dimensions tab, as well as our comprehensive image galleries.

Not all variation shown will be present in every batch of stone and there may also be further variations not shown online. All natural stone will vary in colour, texture and natural markings. A small sample may not give an accurate reflection of how your finished patio will look.

We strongly recommend a visit to our showroom and advise you to view as much stone as possible before purchasing. Additionally, we are able to provide full sized samples at an additional cost. Speak to a member of our team who will happily advise you.

Slide to view

Stone looks very different when wet and dry. In its dry state, the color may seem more subdued, and the surface texture appears prominent, but once water is applied, the product’s colour becomes more vibrant, and hidden patterns are revealed.

Use our wet, dry tool to make a well-informed decision of how stone looks in various weather conditions.

Sealing

Sealing

We strongly recommend all sawn stone is pre-sealed prior to installation. Please be advised that pre-sealing carries an additional lead-time. This can be viewed on the product page, once pre-sealing is selected as an option.

Why pre-seal?

  • Reduces the need for intensive maintenance
  • Reduces weathering and keeps stone looking fresh
  • Protects from algae and staining
  • Reduces efflorescence
  • Stone arrives on site ready to install.

How to pre-seal

  • On site by your own contractor
  • Pre-sealed by London Stone’s specialist team from just £15.76 + VAT per m2
