Lovely york stone flags, never seen them that size before. Approx £25.00 per flag.....worth every penny i reckon

:)
its dust will be all gone on final clean . 2foot x 2 foot is a normal imperial size they are worth the money .had to take them all up client changed levels bed was solid pictures to follow :p

is each piece individual or stuck together making a slab which is then adhered to the wall ?

the hump would be an understatement, once down they stay down for me

How much for the sandstone wall cladding per m2?
What size are the panels?
Cheers

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

back on the cladding It would look nice as a feature wall somewhere
just 5-6 metres would make a lovely panel

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.
