Reclaimed Grade-A Yorkshire paving stone, also known as reused Yorkstone paving, refers to stone salvaged from antique residential properties from indoors and outdoors.
As the name suggests, Yorkstone is a type of sandstone found and quarried in Yorkshire. Yorkstone has a rich history within the UK, dating back to the stone age times.
We take great pride in sourcing high-quality reclaimed Yorkstone Grade-A paving to ensure that our customers receive the best products available. Unlike other stone suppliers, we refrain from sourcing reclaimed stone from mills or industrial properties due to their inferior quality and contamination that can not always be seen.
Yorkshire stone is a tightly formed, carboniferous sedimentary rock that is well known for its exceptional hard-wearing and durable qualities.
Boasting fantastic organic properties, Yorkshire stone is a versatile material that is highly sought after due to its natural ability to weather in and become at harmony with its surroundings, by taking lichens and mosses that give it its beautiful weathered natural patina.
Reclaimed Grade-A Yorkshire Paving Stone has a wealth of structural and visual benefits, and we’ve listed some of the key advantages below:
Damage Resistance - As mentioned above, the stone has been in use for centuries, and over time has withstood some of the harshest environmental challenges. Reclaimed Yorkshire
