Notes
The stone has few natural flaws; very large block and cuts well with a general blade, making it a sound economical choice for stone producers. As the blocks are so large it is also available in a pure grey for all masonry and paving applications making this a very attractive sandstone

No
Max Block Size

TONNES P.A.

Suitability
Steps, paving, setts
Recent Use Samples
Mouselow has been used on many paving projects throughout the UK including Tesco Store, Higham Guildhall, London; Dickens Yard, Ealing; One New Bailey, Salford; The Corn Exchange, Manchester and some of the London Boroughs.
