Technical Q & A

If you can not find the answer to your question below please ask your question here.

Q.

My floor has cracked what can I do?...

Invariably the material is not wrong, but it is the underlying structure that the stone has been laid on. See the Stone Federation flooring code.

Q.

The stone I have now got does not match the sample I saw....

You must ensure you see enough samples of sufficient size to cover all variations, as it has to be remembered that stone is natural material.

Q.

Where can I find assistance in locating a suitable stone?...

Contact the Stone Federation which will give you a local member to speak to or put you in touch with the technical help line.

Q.

I am unhappy with the finish on my granite worktop...

It must be remembered that granite is a natural material and each type has its own characteristics and variations and must be realised and discussed with the stone supplier.
