hello! firstly i want to say how brilliant this site is and the information that is on here!
this is my first post.
i have had two pallets of maple sandstone delivered.
not sure if i should mention the company so i wont!
unloaded the first box. its sawn smooth sandstone.
has the rivets on the back. on the whole very nice
the second box however is quite different colour wise (i know its a natural product so i expect differnences!) but it is generally a 'warm' colour with quite prominent markings, whereas the other box is quite 'cool'. the 'warm' box however, is smooth both sides. so it is difficult to tell which side is up. is this normal? the people i have laying them are having issues with the smooth ones as they say they are not bonding properly with the base, whereas the ones with the riveted base are fine (obviously!)
both the packs have different labels
although both say maple. one says project pack and is from rajasthan, the other linear project pack from madhya pradesh (both in india) the rajasthan pack are the better quality in terms of the riverted back, better colours and less scratches on the front of the stones. some of the other pack you can quite clearly see on both sides of the stones the saw marks.
i hope i have written this clear enough to understand!
my partner has said for them to stop laying them (as its raining heavily they have anyway) and for me to contact the company tomorrow. but your thoughts would be appreciated!
