  Stone Applications - Paving

Throughout the 1980's and 90's the increased use of natural stone paving to enhance many town and city centre landscaping and pedestrianisation projects has inevitably led to the increased awareness of the product and resulted in the need for concise specification information relating to the materials correct selection, design and installation.

Crosland Hill Hard York stone has traditionally been used as paving for many years, indeed there are records of Crosland Hill having been used since the early 19th Century.

The material is a Millstone Grit Series sandstone from the Carboniferous Age, and as such has the proven performance characteristics of true York stone. A letter in a 1975 publication of the 'Times' discussing York stone considered it to be, 'the near ideal paving material as it is strong, colourful and remains non-slip throughout it's life'.

We can give advice on the specification and design of York stone paving, identifying the latest British / European standards and relevant criteria for testing, which should be considered to ensure the correct selection of this most versatile natural material.

Diamond sawn paving

The most widely available primary sawn finish for external paving. A fine sawn surface finish produced by fast cutting, multiblade "diamond" frame saws in Crosland Hill Hard York stone. Tests conducted under MOT Road Research laboratory guidelines report an excellent skid resistance value of 82.

Traditional shot sawn paving

An attractive randomly striated finish available on Crosland Hill Hard York stone. This is achieved by a modern primary sawing system developed from the traditional cutting techniques used universally prior to the introduction of diamond tipped blades in the 1940's.

Particles of cast iron shot are dragged by corrugated blades through the block stone producing a combed effect finish. An added bonus to visual appeal is an exceptional skid resistance value of 96.

Fine rubbed paving

Often specified for internal paving applications on the the Company's range of Hard York stone. The smooth surface finish is achieved with the aid of a high speed carborundrum polishing system.

York Stone Setts

Available in a variety of sizes and finishes; diamond sawn, shot sawn, split face, tumbled. Sawn to specific sizes or split edged and random sizes.

Steps, Copings, Tactile and Corduroy Pavings, Feature Stone Work

Apprentice trained masons working alongside the latest technology in stone cutting machinery ensure the availability of virtually and specified stone feature for use in landscaping / pedestrianisation schemes. From feature boulders through to plain, bullnosed or circular steps and copings.
