Specialised Yorkstone Supplies Ltd have just taken on extra storage space at Unit 7, Dale Mill in Waterfoot. Initially, they will be using the unit for storage of stone and supplies and there are plans to turn the space into a showroom eventually.
Specialised Yorkstone Supplies have been in business for over 10 years and their speciality is paving and walling sandstone. Yorkstone is a sandstone that is formed from the silt deposited by rivers in Yorkshire. It is a stone that has been used for centuries now and is especially known for its durability. It can vary in colour and wears well. Therefore, it is used widely in walls, buildings and paving landscapes. In recent years it has become especially popular in paving. The stone’s versatility and durability has seen Yorkstone used extensively for footpaths and roads. Colour varies from red shades to brown and the inside of the stone is known for its sandy yellow tones.
Paving is made out of pieces of stone that are riven by splitting the blocks apart. However, not all Yorkstone can be split. These stones are more suitable for building walls rather than paving. The colour of the sandstone varies according to the amount of iron oxides present in the original stone. The colour variations really add to the elegance of Yorkstone and helps to create a charming look for any footpath or paving. It’s not the cheapest option, when you compare the prices of Yorkstone with concrete and other materials. However, Yorkstone gives off a natural look that similar isn’t possible to achieve with other materials. It’s also worth noting that Yorkstone paving has a high resale value. Not only that, it can be reused in different positions and locations if it is carefully removed from its original spot.
With Yorkstone paving that has a thickness of over 70mm, it means that it will be strong enough to withstand vehicles. If the Yorkstone is laid on a firm foundation, it can be used to create a striking driveway.
Paving is perhaps the most common and popular use for Yorkstone these days, but the versatility of the product should not be underestimated. It can be used for both commercial and domestic construction purposes. As well as its many exterior uses, Yorkstone can also be used interior design too, as it is a wonderful choice for floor tiles.
