the individual panels are 600 by 150 but they are made up of 5 lateral sections plus they have alike a z shape about them so they interlock
£43 +vat per metre for the panels
the tiler is pre sealing them all over which he assures me will hinder efflorescence, then using exterior tile adhesive
this cost an additional £30 per metre

so all in you are looking at £80 per metre

Looking good Tony. Hope those blocks are concrete :;):
I have never seen reclaimed York in 2x2, they are also very well calibrated. They do look a bit like council greys. I think that the stone is probarbly only 20-30 years old and is not as "reclaimed" yet as it should be. Looking good though

Did that in a bathroom a couple of years ago but with the slate version. Horrid stuff to install as it would de-laminate when cut - obviously not such a problem with stone.
