With regards to the stairs, the Natural Paving Cornsilk is the same stone with a sandblasted slip resistant surface and this comes with bullnosed step treads, so it might create a nice finish to use these for the steps.

or alternatively use the Original and best All Weather Jointing Compound on the UK Market today

http://www.azpects.co.uk/products/easy-joint.aspx

Unlike many of our rivals however, ours is UK made and offers the largest range of colours, giving you and your customers more choice!

have never come across your easy joint what price is it per kg trade
Whereabouts are you based Cookiewales?

The RRP of EASYJoint is £34.99 inc VAT (for a 12.5kg tub) but you may well find our stockists selling it for less than that

I have yet to see one down for 5 years that still looks good

the romans used sand and cement pointing and a lot of it still looks good

thats longevity :)

so you ask yourself?

do i want it to be easy to install now
or do i want it to see me out?

LLL :)
The cement the Roman's used was legendary and supposedly far superior to modern equivalents

agree wholeheartedly George
it doesnt matter what is used if the installer is clueless!

roman technology RE:cements was far superior to modern day stuff
the use of pozzolonic additives made it super strong

I think i can see where your going with this. Are you trying to come out on a paving forum? Yes the Romans made it fashionable for same sex relationships but i think you knew that anyway :;): :laugh:
