Typically, these slabs are calibrated to a thickness of 22mm. However, due to the natural properties of Limestone, there can be a tolerance of up to +/- 4mm

The mixed-size pack for this Limestone includes the following slab dimensions:

• 90cm x 60cm
• 60cm x 60cm
• 60cm x 29cm
• 29cm x 29cm

The two smaller sizes (60cm x 29cm and 29cm x 29cm) are cut to 29cm to allow for an approximate 10mm joint.

Note: As this is a natural product, there may be slight size tolerances with the edges being machine sawn. It's important to account for these variations when planning your project layout, as variations in size will mean that joint widths are almost certain to vary throughout the patio.

This is perfectly normal for this type of material and adds to its natural charm. If you require millimetre accuracy, porcelain tiles may be a better option.

The edge detail on these limestone pavers is machine sawn, providing a clean, precise finish for a sleek and uniform look. However, it’s important to note that the sawn edge can sometimes result in minor chips being visible, especially when the stones are still in the original packaging. These chips are typically hidden once the pavers are laid and grouted, but they are there due to the nature of the product. The stones are packed side by side in a crate, which means they can rub together during transit. While wrapping each slab individually would prevent this, it wouldn’t be economically viable.

If these chips may concern you then possible it might be worth upgrading to a Porcelain alternative instead.

Yes, natural stone often appears darker when wet because water enhances its natural colour and pattern. This effect is temporary and returns to normal as the stone dries.

To maintain a deep black colour, we recommend sealing the stone with a high-quality stone sealant designed for darker stones. This will help prevent fading caused by UV exposure and weathering. Regular cleaning with a pH-neutral cleaner will also keep the surface looking vibrant. Avoid harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners, as they can cause discoloration over time.

No, we do not recommend using acid to clean this product. Acidic cleaners can damage the stone, causing discoloration and surface degradation. Instead, use a pH-neutral cleaner to maintain the stone’s appearance and longevity.

Black limestone often features natural markings such as white quartz veins, which can appear as subtle streaks or patches running through the stone. You may also find traces of fool's gold (pyrite), which can create small golden flecks or sparkles, adding to the stone's unique charm. These natural inclusions and veins are a hallmark of black limestone, giving each piece its individual character and enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
