What are the pros and cons of Reclaimed Yorkstone?

Advantages and disadvantages are often in the eye of the beholder. When you choose Reclaimed Yorkstone paving, you’ll find slabs with colour variation, textural differences, perhaps even slight areas of damage worn smooth with age. For many people, this is its huge appeal and the unique character of every paving stone gives a paved area its character. For others, the lack of consistency means that Reclaimed Yorkstone isn’t contemporary enough.

From a practical point of view, reclaimed Yorkstone can present a greater challenge when laying, as slabs aren’t calibrated - find out more about calibrated paving). We supply paving from 50 to 100mm thick. This means that the slabs have to be laid at different depths in the mortar bed, in order for the surface to be flat and without trip hazards. This generally means it takes longer to lay. Slabs are also random sizes, so piecing together a paved area may involve cutting slabs or varied joint widths.
