Anyone ever used it. Looks really nice on top and its going cheap in my local merchants (£12 perm2) but it looks like it might delaminate quite easily.

Probably best left alone. Shame at that price though.

You may also find that it's a t**t to lay.
Warped, bananas, irregular sizes and shapes.

Any savings on the product are soon eat up by the extra labour costs :(

It's a Stonemarket product that was selling for £35m2 last year so I didn't really look it over too well when I first saw saw it although I did look at the colours and check the cut.

It's sawn and flamed.

I was just about to get 25m2 loaded up on the back of my tipper when I noticed that the nearest crate looked like there was a few missing. they were stacked 3 high so I jumped up on a pack of blocks to have a look from the top of the crate and thats when I noticed the cracks in the sides. not all of the flags were affected but enough to cause concern.

I showed the branch manager and told him that a few frosts in them would probably cause the flags to delaminate and he agreed.
Just wondered if anyone else had laid laid this particular stone without problems or if this was just a dodgey batch because stonemarket are usually pretty good.
