5. PRODUCT INFORMATION AND SAMPLES
5.1 All descriptions, images, (in both print and on the internet) advertising, and specification are for purposes of giving an approximate representations of the goods only and their accuracy cannot be warranted by the Company.
5.2 The Company shall be under no liability in respect of natural and geological variations occurring in terms of colour, markings, texture, size, and between consignments, which are beyond the control of the Company.
5.2 (a) Buyers who order from the TRAVERTINE RANGE, i.e. Honed & Filled must accept the following natural occurrence; cavities found on the surface, not those inside are filled with compound at the factory. After installation, those cavities that are just underneath the surface may appear due to wear and tear. These internal cavities may appear in no specified time i.e.3 months, or 3 years which may not be controlled or prevented.
5.3 The sample is supplied within the Companies tolerance limits of size, texture and colour variation. The Company cannot guarantee to match shades of the samples presented or any previous orders supplied.
5.4 All natural tiles are to a greater or lesser extent porous and need to be impregnated with industry recognised materials. Some stones may be easily scratched and / or is subject to pitting /chipping.
5.5 Stone delivered to site must be stored securely in suitable conditions. Tiles must always be stacked and stored vertically (on edge) but not on hard surface as this can cause unnecessary edge chipping.
5.6 The company strongly suggest that all tiles are blended before installation. The installer must have an understanding of blending requirements or special patterns as part of the skills.
5.7 Buyer should always consider wastage on each project before ordering, for instance minor damage to some stones which may occur in transportation or during site handling, site cutting and grading.
5.7(a) An order should always include an additional 10% to allow for wastage to cover, cutting, minor imperfections, and breakage.
5.8 Whilst sorting tiles to ensure suitable blending, normal practice calls for segregation of tiles with minor damages or some unusual markings. They can be used where cut tiles are required, or in less visible locations. Natural stones is particularly susceptible to colour and tonal variations from batch to batch.
5.9 Stone tiles are always packed in wet conditions at the factory and cannot properly dry out until unpacked; they will lighten in colour as they dry. It is therefore essential that all tiles are completely dry prior to installation to be able to assess any colour variation present. To check this, it may be necessary to place a tile in front of a direct heat source to see the true colour of the stone when it is totally dry.
5.10 Mineral oxidization (very occasional rust stain) is a natural phenomenon that will not affect the durability or performance of the stone. The visible effects of this process will dissipate over time. There are also products on the market that claim to help dissipate these effects, which are available at your local builders merchants. Always seek advice from the chemical manufacturer on the suitability of their products before use. The company shall be under no liability in respect of natural and geological variations occurring in terms of mineral oxidization, which are beyond the control of the production and transportation processes.
5.11 All natural stones have pores, there is no stone that does not absorb water, so reflected water staining are accidentally happened on the all popular stone slabs on the market, which involves the laying method, please look for professionals to lay your patio. Customer understand must to keep the mortar evenly on the ground for screed bedding, do not let spot bedding, ring bedding and other uneven mortar to support slabs. When laying natural stone slabs, lay on a full mortar bed. This will not prevent through bed staining but will reduce the chances the of it taking place. All good practice guidance suggests that paving stone should be fully bedded and not laid on dots and dabs. All stone products have the reflect water stain risk, our company does not have any responsibility for the reflection stains of natural stones caused by inappropriate laying.
5.12 Paving slabs are considered the most basic stone products and do not require the same level of precision polishing as countertops. Smooth sandstone slabs are simply roughly polished using a polish machine, making it impossible to achieve a mirror-like effect. Even within a single slab, it is not possible to achieve the same level of polishing. However, this does not affect the overall uniformity of the slabs. As time goes by and they experience wear and tear, the level of smooth will gradually become more consistent.
5.13 For sawn and honed or sawn and flamed slabs, please take into account a maximum thickness variation of +/- 3mm and a maximum length/width deviation of 10mm. For instance, a slab labeled as 600mm may have measurements ranging from approximately 595mm to 605mm. These variations are common due to manufacturing tolerances, particularly for products with hand-cut edges.
5.14 Porcelain paving slabs can vary slightly in color, especially in stone effect schemes. Colors may vary under various weather conditions such as sunshine and rain. Manufactured products are designed to simulate natural stone and may utilize naturally occurring aggregates, resulting in batch-to-batch variance. Whenever possible, products should be selected from the same batch.
5.15 The occasional natural veins on natural stones are natural geological formations or mineral crystal inclusions. This is not a defect but a natural characteristic of the stone. These veins do not affect the stone's performance, and over time, they will blend more consistently with the rest of the stone's colour. If you feel this unacceptable, please consider choosing porcelain tiles instead.
5.16 To achieve a cohesive and natural appearance when using multiple packs of products, we recommend selecting individual units from each pack and mixing them on-site at the beginning of the project. Avoid attempting to choose extremely consistent colors for laying in the same area because natural stone inherently possesses variations in color and texture. By blending products from different packs, you can showcase the authentic diversity of the stone, creating a more natural effect.
5.17 We make efforts to provide stone slabs with the almost similar color and texture under the same product name. However, the selection of natural stone entails significant costs. As a type of stone product, paving stones are the most cost-effective. Due to cost considerations, no supplier can offer products with completely consistent color and texture at market prices.
