Does the stone come thinner than that?
Yes we are able to supply 100mm stone for use in areas that have weight restrictions.
Often used for chimney stacks. The 100mm stone is not as large proportionally as the standard stone.

Is schist freestanding?
No, unlike brick, which supports itself, stone is not freestanding. It therefore needs to be worked onto a backing board ie Eterpan Fibre Cement Board in architectural use or onto an existing block wall.

Does block work need to be sealed prior to facing it with schist?
Yes a Moleseal or Flintcoat sealant needs to be applied at the recommended ratio prior to stone application.

Does corner stone cost more?
No, all of our pallets arrive with ample corner stone at no additional cost.

Do brick ties need to be stainless steel?
Yes if your home is with 500m of the coast.

We only want to go to the underside of the windows. How do we cap the stonework off.
Depending on your other cladding ie wood or plaster we are able to supply a hand-hewn stone sill to the correct dimensions to tuck underneath the flashing. Alternatively if your other cladding is plaster bring the polystyrene down to the stonework and add a plaster cap over the stone.
