Colour Variation
Moderately Varied
This paving has a moderate amount of colour and shading variation present within the range
Water Absorbency
Low Absorption
During tests, this paving absorbs less than 1% water when fully saturated. The lower the water absorption, the lower the risk of algae growth and staining. By comparison, concrete paving has an average water absorption of 6%
Flexural Strength
Good
During testing, this paving showed flexural strength of 24.8 Mpa. The flexural strength value shows how much bending stress a paving unit can be put under before it breaks and the higher the number, the stronger the paving. By comparison, concrete paving has an average flexural strangth of 5 Mpa
Frost Resistance
Great
During a repeated test cycle of freezing to -40 degrees Fahrenheit, followed by thawing, this paving only lost 0.3 Mpa of flexural strength. This result demonstrates excellent paving resilience
Slip Resistance
Low Risk
This paving has a slip resistance PTV rating of 52 when dry and 37 when wet. A pendulum is used to swing across the stone to determine friction. The rougher the surface, the more the pendulum slows and the higher the value

Material Information
Natural Stone Characteristics:
All natural stone products are unique and will vary in colour and texture, often showing distinctive markings, minor imperfections and may include mineral deposits such as iron and quartzite. Sizes are nominal and may vary. Some paving manufacturers include the pointing allowance in the individual slab sizes whereas others include the pointing allowance in the overall pack coverage. The product images shown are as accurate as photographic processes allow and may appear differently in accordance with lighting conditions and screen calibration in addition to the natural variation occurring between batches. Images may not be a true representation of a particular product size, use or laying pattern. Descriptions provided offer a combination of the manufacturer's and our own opinion of the product's characteristics and features.
Quartzite Description:
Quartzite is a hard metamorphic rock which was originally sandstone. Sandstone is converted into quartzite through the earth's heating and pressure. Its texture is similar to wood bark.
Porphyry Colours:
Pure quartzite is usually opaque white to grey, though quartzite paving often occurs in various shades of pink and red due to varying amounts of iron oxide. Other colours, such as yellow and orange, are due to various mineral inclusions. Due to the varied colours of quartzite it is a very popular decorative stone for driveways or patio areas, with colours in golds, reds, greys and white veining.
