If you visited the Eco Build Show in London then you will not have missed our Natural Stone granite paving area that was in the main entrance in excess of 100 sq mts  and supported by Timber Play see more of Timber Plays great out door products on the link www.timberplay.com
They decided to go with our product as it was calibrated has a stunning non slip flamed finish and would be suitable for any outside area. If you would like more information on our natural stone paving range then why not pop over to the website. www.eazyclad.com

Why carry on the old fashion way with using sand and cement mortars to joint your Natural stone paving slabs. Our Easy Lay jointing compound save you time and effort along with your back and we also offer it for £22.50 + vat when you purchase it with your flagstones against the £30.00 + vat if purchased separately . 
     If you can sweep then you can use our product good at surprising weeds and other algae's growing in the joints and can even withstand regular power washing . One pot will cover approx 7 sq mts of calibrated 22mm stone. 
Remember  to  SAVE TIME < SAVE EFFORT< SAVE MONEY   

Why Use Calibrated Natural Stone Paving

Calibrated Sandstone Paving and slate is a way of finishing off Flagstones and Slabs of various thickness into a standard thickness (rather like a tile) in our case 20mm or 22mm. This is mainly produced with stones from India and China .

         Theses can be used and laid on a level screed bed rather than the harder to use un-calibrated stone paving. The calibration takes place on the under side of the stone and generally you will see lines running on the underside where the machinery has been used to level it off.

          Whilst Calibrated natural stone is more expensive than standard  non calibrated most landscapers quote less for laying so you should make them aware that you are going to purchase Calibrated and if you are using it yourself you will find it much easier to use.
  
          If you are using Natural Stone Paving in a house then it is really worth using calibrated stone as you will not have to worry about the different levels when laying it . 



Reasons to Use Calibrated Stone Paving

•Easier to lay
•No variance in thickness
•Lighter to pick up and carry
•More cost effective when it comes to delivery costs  (up to 22sq mts per tonne)
•Cheaper Costs for having laid.

Spot Bedding is a method some people use when laying flagstone paving, It consists of 5 Spots of  cement are placed one on each corner and one in the centre and the slab is placed on top. 

1. The gap can allow surface water to accumulate and lead to subsidence or instability.
2. The gap below could make them more fragile and crack when under a load. 
3. Damp patches may arise as the cement can act as a wick 
4. Ants and small animals can get underneath and tunnel and make ground underneath unstable.
5. It is not always cheaper to than having a solid bed layed 

Advice is to just check with the person laying the flagstones which method he is going to use. 

Visiting the Eco show for the next 2 days to see what new ideas are out there withNew designs and building practices, should be very informative and will pass on all relevant information on how our cladding products can be applied to enable you to have a greener building option.
