Hand-made by expert stone masons, the fettled edges of our Waterfoot Riven York Stone Paving are all achieved naturally in Halifax, and we include all three in each pallet to provide a lovely balanced contrast across your slabs. 

The smoother self-riven surface come off the quarry face just like that, while the pure riven stones are created when the bedrocks are split. The result, once we add the natural face too, is highly unusual, with lots of character and variation and a small amount of veining typical of this region. 

If you’re laying it in a high traffic area or somewhere with lots of trees or foliage, we also recommend using a natural stone sealant to protect against staining and give it a bit more grip in wet weather.

As all of our stone is a quarried natural material, variations may occur in mineral content and there may also be slight marks or veining on the stone.

You can request a free sample of this York Stone product so you can get a feel for the look and texture, and although we try our best to ensure the sample is as close to the product as possible, we are unable to guarantee an exact replication of the sample provided. Please wet your sample to get an idea of how the stone will look when wet.

As with most things in life, they look different when dry or wet, and that's the same with our York Stone! Please see the colour variations icon to see the product when dry and when wet. There may also be a few images in the image gallery to show the difference.
