You may notice fine white lines on the surface, these are calcite veins. They are a normal part of the stone that does not affect durability or strength. Sawn Edge & Chipping Notice This limestone features a sawn edge, giving it a very contemporary look once laid. However, due to the nature of the material and the packing and delivery process, minor chipping can occur on edges or corners. The stone is extremely hard but slightly brittle, meaning small chips are occasionally unavoidable. These are typically limited to the edges or underside of slabs, though in rare cases, they may appear on the top surface. Please note: We cannot offer replacements for minor chipping, as this is a natural and expected characteristic of the stone and part of its production process. As Kota Black Limestone is our most affordable paving option, we recommend ordering a little extra to allow for selection during installation or to account for minor imperfections. ==specification-part== Product Specifications General Material Type Natural Limestone (Sedimentary Stone) Country of Origin India Surface Finish Natural Riven Edges / Profile Sawn Edges Thickness 22 mm Tolerance ± 5 mm on all dimensions Sizes Patio Pack Sizes 900 × 600 mm 600 × 600 mm 600 × 290 mm 290 × 290 mm Single Sizes Available 900 × 600 mm 600 × 600 mm 600 × 450 mm 600 × 300 mm Technical Characteristics Slip Resistance - PTV Dry - 51 / Wet - 41 Frost Resistant Yes Water Absorption 0.04 % Flexural Strength 24.69 MPa - Tested over 56 cycles Weight Approx. 52.8 kg per m² Application & Packaging Suitable For Driveways, Paths, Patios, Steps Application External Use Sealing Recommended – Use a colour-enhancing sealer for a richer black finish Packaging Wooden crates with internal foam protection and plastic wrap, or palletised for smaller orders All values are typical industry data for natural limestone and may vary within standard tolerances.
