Sawn flags

[GB_Groundworks]

i went to our independent bm and they had some new stone in, guessing its at the softer end of the spectrum as its all sawn and they are not really going to saw the hardest stuff are they.

so just wondered what you think, price to me about £20/m

sahara beige






teak





chocolate



rainbow



not a big fan of the chocolate but like the sahara beige and and the teak, think the rainbow would work well as a small piece in a larger teak/beige patio as say the table location.

Is it quite thin Giles?

[GB_Groundworks]

22-25mm i think, think it would work well inside like conservatory/oragnerie etc

[jonnyboyentire]

I like the chocolate,. I bet it cleans up lovely with an enhancer.

Which manufacturer?

[GB_Groundworks]

no idea, just a stone importer i guess

i'd might do a rectangle with middle of the beige vast majority, then a single band of rainbow then teak band bet that would look the mutts nutts haha

I'm jealous, I wish I had somewhere that displays stuff in that way.
You'd think in the SE where there's loadsa money they'd plenty of places but there's not

Price to you is £20 sq/m. How much to a regular punter?

Freakin good price too I can't get sawn over here for less than £42m2. 22-25mm would be fine outside if laid properly.

cant comment on the costs but it looks braw. :;):

Think it's £25m to Joe public, we've used them for 20 odd years and always give them the option of beating the nationals. So if we get a quote of Travis for say 20k bricks give it them and Travis price and see if they can beat it. Works for us both and we get good treatment back always squeeze a load in for us if needed bump a diyer haha.

This new stuff came about from me inquiring about the big house we did and they have gone from there. Still educating them about geofix though haha

Hi all..... i have looked at the images posted. We looked at taking this product into stock - called Rainbow & Teak (not sure about chocolate) However, I have had actual Indian suppliers who visit us on a regular basis tell me that the Rainbow and Teak sandstone are only suitable internally - too porous!
In saying that - there are some big reputable UK companies who are selling this product as part of their range for the external market!
Very attractive stone indeed - may help if sealed with a very good quality sealer, but the bottom line is that the stone is very porous.
So, the Indian suppliers saying one thing but the large UK companies surely have dedicated testing procedure?? ???

Who's the BM Giles


my bad can see it now

[GB_Groundworks]

Yeah they are recommending more for internal but still need sealing inside, spills etc.

Bm is redmoor in new mills. 2 miles from our yard
