As our dyking stone is all hand
picked, care is taken to ensure the stone has all of the following
qualities:
|
| Flat bedded
|
| Different dimensions to
provide a good mix
|
| Manageable size
|
| Once graded the stone is
stored inside
|
|
These qualities combined with minimum
wastage contribute greatly to on-site efficiency and quality of build.
Available in
either bulk or our 500kg bags ideal for on-site use.

Our Hand Picked Dyking Stone is predominantly sandstone with
a minimal percentage of shale. During
processing and picking the majority of this shale is removed, however,
the
finished product will still retain a percentage of shale throughout.
We would
strongly advise that your dyke is built by a
competent and qualified dyker who is familiar with building with
Denfind Dyking
Stone and who is made aware that there is a percentage of shale
throughout the
sandstone. Ideally he or she will
have
completed one of Denfind Stone’s Training Courses.
The shale is
ideal for packing material within the dyke and
should not be considered as waste. It
should never be used to build the outer faces of the wall and never
used as
copes. If this
happens there is a high risk of shale disintegration
due to weathering and the natural ageing process.
If you have any
doubts about the build quality of your wall
we will be happy to advise.
