NZ Building Stone
Waikato customers contact Mike on
0211124512 for special rates.
Below is our Dressed Stone suitable for
stone masonry projects. We
recommend that you use professional
masons for all residential or commercial
projects.
Our stone has been selected and
dressed for building purposes.
QUARRY STONE - This is the
basic grade, this will produce an
authentic rustic effect wall.
Basic stonemasonry techniques are
required to work this stone we
recommend that you contact us first
for advice.
HAND DRESSED - will produce a far
more
structured result, it is split into
walling or corner stones to make it
easier to determine what quantities
are needed for each job.
MACHINE DRESSED - This is the
highest level of pre-dressing that can
be achieved, basically the best. This
stone form makes the
perfect drystack not only due to
appearance but also allowing more
surface contact of the bed joints
enabling more friction and avoiding
excess chinking between the
stone.
The drop down menus are
an indication of cost to process a
square meter of stone on top of the initial
cost of the product.
Our Quantities calculator on
the bottom of the ''Not sure what to
buy?'' page can
determine how much stone is needed
for your job or next project. |
