FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS
Karratha stone, being a warm-coloured, dense, strong, abrasion-resistant rock, has a wide range of applications in both horizontal and vertical finishes, where its decorative effects enhance its excellent physical properties.
Steps and paving slabs are especially relevant where the ability of the stone to resist continuous wear and attrition is needed.
The high silica content provides an excellent ‘non-slip’ surface, whilst strength, colours and textures are features that make it an ideal natural product for walls and ‘special features.
Karratha stone, being 2.5 times stronger than concrete and with 0.7% absorption rate, becomes water resistant when laid with a 4:1 mortar mix. The application of strand ply is recommended to double the strength of mortar in paving applications. The ratio is one packet to 10m2.
