Questions buyers ask

Answers to the questions contractors ask us most, taken from our product data.

Split walling stone stacked at the quarry
Why are there no prices on the site?

Everything we sell is a bulk product priced per job, so the price depends on your quantities, formats and transport. Add products to a quote list and send it, WhatsApp 083 775 7751, or call (010) 594-2083, and we'll come back with prices and availability.

Can I send my order on WhatsApp?

Yes. WhatsApp Deon on 083 775 7751 with the products, quantities and site location, or a photo of the plans. You can also build a quote list on the site and send the whole list to WhatsApp from the quote page.

Is the stone cut or split?

Cladding is split, not cut: natural split edges and faces, not masoned, and specified in size ranges. Tiles come in standard sizes, for example 200 × 200 mm up to 600 × 600 mm for slate. How cladding looks once it is up depends on the stonemason and the installation.

What quantities do you supply?

Bulk quantities, packed for handling: quartzite dry pack on 5, 7, 10 or 25 m² pallets; slate riven cladding in 30 m² crates; riven strips per 1 m² level or box; interlocking panels at 6 or 7 sheets per box; and slate tiles by the truckload, which is 24 to 28 pallets or about 850 m² per truck.

What sizes does wall cladding come in?

It depends on the format. Dry pack is random split stone, roughly 20 to 100 mm off the wall depending on the product. Riven strips are 40 to 80 mm thick in various lengths. Interlocking panels come in set sheet sizes such as 350 × 200 mm. The exact ranges are on each product page.

Which stone do you carry?

Three stones and 34 products: slate (tiles, roofing slate and riven cladding), quartzite (dry pack, riven and panel cladding) and sandstone (dry pack, panel, riven and chunk cladding, plus floor and coping tiles).

Do you supply roofing slate?

Yes. Black slate roofing tiles in more than 50 size variations, for conventional or top-nail fixing. The full installation specification (pitch, battens, laying and nails) is on the Slate Roofing Tiles Black product page.
