NATURAL STONE COLOUR AND TEXTURE
Natural stone can vary in colour, tone & texture. The colours shown in all Yorkstone supplies websites are as accurate as modern photography and printing allow. We would always recommend viewing products in daylight prior to purchasing. No sorting of crates will be permitted.
Natural stone can develop brown markings as its iron content oxidises. This is a temporary phenomenon which will disappear over a period of time. Products delivered may vary from samples previously supplied, and this is completely normal for all natural products.
WASTAGE
Natural stone is a natural material and as such will sometimes contain small chips, blemishes and imperfections which can occur during the manufacture, packaging and transport process. Natural Yorkstone Supplies Ltd recommend purchasing extra stone to allow for cuts and wastage. When ordering any sawn material in particular we recommend ordering a minimum of 5% additional material for wastage.
THICKNESS & DIMENSIONS
All stated thickness and dimensions are nominal and as such are subject to cutting tolerances. Samples that are sent in the post do not represent true thickness, please state dimensions when ordering.
