Over the years, Stonemarket has been known for their unique take and development of their product, creating products with great designs using concrete and also providing products made only from the best natural stone. One of their most popular products is the Avant Garde paving, this is a natural sandstone product with a textured/sandblasted surface finish that comes in multiple colours such as Caramel, Imperial, silver and obsidian. They also have popular concrete products such as their Vintage Manor collection that you can get as a project pack, walling blocks and even as a compass points circle! 

Whilst some organisations do not engage in auditing how their stone is produced. Stonemarket have created Fairstone which is an ethically sourced range of natural paving, their main aims with this is to ensure that no child labour is used, living wages are paid and Health & safety standards are in place.

Porcelain paving is a man made type of stone that is made from natural raw materials. Porcelain paving is most commonly made by baking in a high temperature kiln a mixture of clay, sand and other minerals, in order to create a product that is extremely durable and also impermeable. 

A few of the reasons this type of paving is so popular is due to its strength and also as its resistance to water absorption means that porcelain paving requires little maintenance. You are able to get these types of paving in many different effects, currently we have available on our website porcelain tiles with sandstone effect, Limestone effect and even in a quartz effect.
