FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this sample?

The primary purpose is to allow you to preview the stone's aesthetic, texture, and durability in person before committing to a larger purchase for your project.

What are the dimensions of the sample?

The sample measures 100x100x22mm.

Is the sample's color and texture consistent with larger orders?

Yes, this sample piece is designed to be consistent with the full pack and loose quantities, ensuring a uniform appearance across your project.

What type of finish does this granite have?

This granite features a 'riven' surface, which is a naturally split finish offering a refined yet textured appearance.

Can this granite be used for driveways?

While the granite itself is durable, the 22mm thickness is generally more suited for patios and walkways. For driveways, a thicker sett is typically recommended. Consult with a professional installer for specific project requirements.

How should I clean the installed granite paving?

Clean regularly with a stiff brush and water. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Does the riven surface make the stone slippery?

No, the riven surface provides a natural texture that enhances slip resistance, making it ideal for outdoor areas that may get wet.

Troubleshooting

Sample color appears different in person than online.

Natural stone color can vary due to lighting conditions and screen calibration. The sample is intended to provide the most accurate representation possible for physical assessment in your environment.

Surface texture feels rougher than expected.

The riven surface is a natural characteristic of this granite, providing enhanced slip resistance. This texture is typical for riven finishes and contributes to its natural aesthetic.

Unevenness in the sample piece.

The riven finish means the surface is naturally split, resulting in slight variations in thickness and flatness. This is characteristic of the stone and contributes to its unique appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As this is a sample piece, it does not require setup. Its purpose is for assessment before purchasing full quantities for installation.

Compatibility: This Grey Riven Granite is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with most standard paving installation methods. It can be used alongside other natural stone or complementary paving materials. For installation guidance, consult with a professional landscaper or refer to detailed paving installation guides specific to natural stone.

Care: Granite is a very low-maintenance material. To care for the full-size paving once installed:

  1. Regular Sweeping: Sweep away loose debris like leaves and dirt regularly to prevent staining.
  2. Occasional Washing: Wash the area with water and a mild detergent using a stiff brush if necessary. Rinse thoroughly.
  3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use acidic cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the stone's surface over time.
  4. Weed Control: Apply a weed killer to any small gaps between stones if needed, but avoid direct contact with the stone surface.
