Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Proper installation is crucial for the longevity and performance of your Tandur Grey Tumbled Limestone Setts. It is recommended to install them on a well-compacted sub-base of hardcore, followed by a layer of sharp sand or grit for bedding. Ensure the base is adequately sloped for drainage. Setts should be laid tightly together, allowing for jointing material (such as kiln-dried sand or a suitable polymeric sand) to fill the gaps and lock them in place.
Compatibility:
These setts are compatible with most standard landscaping practices. They can be laid on concrete or a granular base. Compatibility with existing paving or structures should be assessed on a project-by-project basis, ensuring proper edging and support are provided. They are suitable for use with underfloor heating systems if installed with appropriate precautions and heat-resistant adhesives on a suitable base, though this is less common for external paving.
Care:
Care for your limestone setts by regularly sweeping away debris. For cleaning, use water and a stiff brush. Mild, pH-neutral cleaning agents can be used for tougher stains, but avoid harsh chemicals or acid-based cleaners which can damage the stone. Re-sanding of joints may be necessary periodically to maintain stability and prevent weed growth. Natural stone may develop a patina over time, which is considered part of its natural beauty.
