White De-Icing Salt

Here at The Cobble Shop we have lots of our handy sized bags of White De-Icing Salt available to help you melt the ice and snow, no doubt getting you out of some sticky situations!

Why use our White De-Icing Salt?

Salt causes a phenomenon called “freezing point depression”, which means salt lowers the freezing point of water so this prevents ice from forming.

De-Icing salt is best used before the ice has a chance to form. The salt will work when the ground is already frozen but it is definitely best to spread it before it has the chance!

Facts about our salt!

Our de-icing salt:

  • Conforms to BS3247:2011, the British Standard for de-icing salt.
  • Marine salt harvested from sustainable sources around the Mediterranean Sea.
  • Almost 100% pure sodium chloride meaning every particle plays a part in the de-icing process making it an efficient Winter salt at battling ice and snow.
  • White salt does not leave behind the same messy residue as traditional brown salt (grit).
  • Perfect for pathways, pavements, playgrounds, and commercial estate where cleanliness is important.
  • Is screened and has graded particle sizes for even distribution, which increases pedestrian safety and the working life of the equipment.
  • Free flowing and is ideal for use in spreaders or by hand.

Quantities available

Our salt is available in handy sized 25kg* bags!

You can purchase these bags individually or by the pallet which is x49 bags.

Price breakdown –

x1 bag = £6.99 (this is a collection price)

x4 bags = £20.00 (this is a collection offer)

x1 pallet (x49 bags) = £235.20 (works out at £4.80 per bag)

If you require delivery, this could be organised at cost.

How To Lay Paving

Looking to find out more about How To Lay Paving?

We have put together a handy little summary on How To Lay Paving which is suitable for 3 types of slab installation!

This guide is suitable for all three types of patio paving slab installation:

  • Porcelain Paving Slabs
  • Natural Stone Paving Slabs
  • Concrete Paving Slabs

There are seven primary steps when laying patio paving. They are:

  1. Measure up and mark out your patio
  2. Dig out the patio area (200mm depth)
  3. Lay the sub-base (compacted & 150mm depth)
  4. Lay a concrete mix mortar bed (50mm depth)
  5. Put the paving slabs on to the mortar bed and tamp down. Ensure you leave the desired joint spacing between the slabs and the slabs are “level” to the fall
  6. Leave the set for 24 hours so the concrete mix (mortar bed) can cure
  7. Fill the joints between the paving with pointing.

There are some additional steps that may or may not be appropriate for your installation, depending on what paving slab material you have selected:

  • Seal the slabs (natural stone and concrete slabs)
  • Stain/seal the slabs (black stone sealer).

Each of the 7 primary steps has subtasks and further considerations which we cover in more detail below.

Patio Cross Section

How To Lay A Patio – What Tools Will I Need?

  1. Tape measure
  2. String line and pegs
  3. Spirit level
  4. Rubber mallet
  5. Shovel
  6. Trowel
  7. Rake
  8. Wheelbarrow
  9. Flexi-tub/bucket
  10. Cement mixer (optional)
  11. Wacker plate or roller
  12. Broom (for pointing stone/concrete with jointing compound)
  13. Pointing tool (for pointing stone/concrete with jointing compound)
  14. Grout float (for pointing porcelain paving with grout)
  15. Tile wash float/sponge (for pointing porcelain paving with grout)
  16. Washboy (for pointing porcelain paving with grout)
  17. Paint brush (for applying priming slurry to the slabs)

What materials do I need to lay a patio?

  1. Paving slabs
  2. Sub-base aggregate
  3. Cement (general purpose OPC)
  4. Sharp sand
  5. Priming slurry
  6. Jointing compound or grout

Recommended optional materials:

  1. Grout & Cement Residue Remover
  2. Resin Residue Remover
  3. Paving Sealer
  4. SBR Bond.

1) Measure up & mark out

The first step of your patio project is to decide where it will be located and to mark out the area. Once you have decided where it will go you’ll need to measure up the dimensions so you can calculate the coverage in square meters (m²).

Q: How do I calculate the square metres m² of the paving area?
A: Multiply the width by the height of the area in metres (e.g. w4m x h5m = 20m²)

How To Lay A Patio – Area Calculator Tool

Once you know the coverage it will allow you to calculate how much paving you will need, and determine the cost of materials for your patio project. Always calculate at least 10% more paving than the coverage – this will give you enough contingency for breakages, cuts and corners etc.

Q: How much paving do I need to buy for my patio?
A: Calculate the area in square meters (m²) and add another 10% for for breakages, cuts and corners (20m² + 10% = 22m²)

Remember to also calculate your material quantities for your mortar bed and sub-base. We recommend that the sub-base of DTp1 Hardcore (MOT Type 1) be at least 150mm in depth once compacted down.

You should calculate a laying course with a full concrete mix mortar bed that has a depth of 50mm.

Q: How much sand, cement and other aggregates do I need?
A: 150mm compacted sub-base of DTp1 Hardcore (MOT Type 1), 50mm full bed laying course of 5:1 mortar (sharp sand and cement)

2) Dig out the patio area

Use staves/pegs and string line to mark out the area you will need to dig out to create your substrate. Start with a datum line running between two pegs – this will represent the edge and the highest surface level of the patio.

If you are placing your patio next to your house remember that the datum line must be lower than the damp proof course (at least 100mm lower) to ensure the patio does not disrupt the property’s damp protection.

You want to use the datum line of the patio’s highest edge to project the left and right edges where necessary. You can ensure these run at 90° by using the 345 Pythagorean right-angle triangle method using your guide lines and a tape measure, or alternatively you can use builder’s folding square.

As far as possible the substrate which you have dug out, should be free of bumps, lumps, hallows and dips.

Q: How deep do I need to dig out my patio?
A: Approximately 160-210mm+ depending on the 1) firmness of underlying soil 2) thickness of your slabs and 3) how much fall you are applying to the lower end of the run. That figure comes from the following:

  • 100mm – 150mm sub-base (depending on underlying ground)
  • 40-50mm mortar bed
  • 15-30mm paving slabs (minus 5mm to 15mm tamped down into mortar bed)
  • plus the fall at the lower end of the run

3) Prepare & lay the patio sub-base

How to prepare a patio sub-base

To provide a stable and secure platform for your patio installation, you will need to add a sub-base of compacted DTp1 hardcore (an aggregate with particulates ranging from 40mm down to dust).

We advise that you lay your sub-base to conform with the required fall. You can gauge this with string and pegs or depth staves.

In both cases, you’ll start with a projected level line from the top of your patio (the datum line) and then measure down to either tie a line at the required gradient of the fall, or knock in staves at 1m or 2m intervals with the top of each stave representing the required depth of hardcore sub-base.

Sub-base of DTp1 aggregate (MOT Type 1 Hardcore)

Lay the DTp1 hardcore sub-base, ensuring it is compacted and even. It should be 150mm in depth once laid. We recommend laying the hardcore in two or three layers, compacting down each as you go. This approach will add strength and stability to the hardcore sub-base.

“Wacker” plate compactor

We recommend using a wacker plate (compactor plate) as this tool is the easiest way to ensure your hardcore is properly compacted, and that the aggregate particulates are settled and stabilised. If you don’t have one, you can usually hire one inexpensively (approx £25 a day).

Q: What is the best way to compact a patio sub-base?
A: Use a mechanical compactor AKA “wacker plate”. These can be hired for a little as £25 a day.

Traditionally, a blinding coat (builders’ sand) was sprinkled on top of the hardcore to finish the sub-base, but if you’re using DTp1 (MOT Type 1) hardcore and a wacker plate this is not generally required (as the fine particulates and compacting forces generate the required finish).

4) Mix your mortar and prime your paving slabs

Patio paving bedding mortar – how to make the right cement mix for you laying coarse.

We recommend a cement mix of 5:1 sharp sand to general purpose/ordinary Portland cement (OPC) as this will provide good strength and bonding. You may consider also adding an SBR bond to the mix to increase bonding, elasticity and reduce osmosis.

Some landscapers like to swap a little builders’ sand for sharp sand to the mix – this will give the mortar a more pliable texture allowing you to make fine adjustments to the slabs more easily when laying them, but it will slightly weaken the mix.

Use sharp sand for your bedding mortar cement mix

Sharp sand is used for the laying coarse concrete mix because firstly, it has improved strength and cohesion. Secondly, it also offers better adhesion and grip to the slabs. Lastly, it also helps prevent insect and burrowing animal intrusions too!

Q: What mix ratio should I use for a patio mortar bed?
A: Use a 5:1 mix of sharp sand to general purpose cement.

Some landscapers may use weaker sand-cement concrete mixes where the slab is slightly porous and the underside is courser and has more natural grip (e.g. sandstone), but this will inevitably make for a weaker bedding layer with weaker bonds to the slabs.

For porcelain paving in addition to a strong 5:1 ratio cement mix for your bedding mortar you must use a priming slurry to aid adhesion between the bedding mortar and slabs. Porcelain slabs are vitrified (non-porous), so have less grip and natural bonding than found with more porous stone or concrete slabs – so a priming slurry is essential.

Laying coarse bedding mortar should a pliable but firm cement mix

The bedding mortar should not be too wet, nor not too dry. It should be reasonably firm and hold its shape when you trowel down the laying coarse. It should be creamy and pliable. Ideally you want to be able form small peaks above the line of the laying coarse so when you tamp down the slab into the mortar it creates a full bed and the peaks spread out under the slab.

Q: How wet should the bedding mortar cement mix be?
A: It should be just wet enough to hold the mix together and be pliable. If it is too wet, when you trowel it down, it will not provide the support or hold the peaks/ridges needed to ensure a full bed from the laying coarse.

Consider hiring or buying a cement mixer (mixing the mortar in a bucket or a flexi-tub by hand is very time consuming and labour intensive).

Use priming slurry to ensure your patio slabs bond properly with the bedding coarse

Priming paving slabs for patio installations

We strongly recommend that you apply a priming slurry to the back (underside) of the slabs prior to laying them. This will improve adhesion/bonding and provide additional protection against damp/osmosis related issues such as efflorescence and rust blooming, which can blemish and mark the stone.

Q: Why do you add priming slurry to the back of paving slabs prior to laying them?
A: Priming slurry provides excellent bonding/adhesion and helps prevent damp/osmosis related blooming issues with paving too. Priming slurry is a must for porcelain slabs, which need the adhesive properties to help the cement mix bed and slabs bond properly.

You can also add an SBR Bond additive to the cement mix too which will further improve adhesion/bonding of the mortar bed.

5) Lay the patio slabs

How to lay patio slabs.

As mentioned above, your patio slabs should be laid on a full bed of mortar. A full mortar bed will ensure stability, adhesion and prevent voids that can collect water, causing damp patches, staining and related issues (efflorescence and rust blooming).

Q: Why use a full mortar bed when laying a patio?
A: Any method of bedding using voids is not recommended by professional landscapers and can cause significant problems once the job has been completed.

  • Voids fill with water and create subsidence or instability in the finished patio. The resident water pools under the paving will cause discolouration on the face of porous paving.
  • Water filled voids will increase damage to your slabs by freeze-thaw erosive action.
  • Voids can cause paving to crack/fracture due to lack underlying support.
  • Voids may become infested by insects or burrowing animals.
  • “Dot and dab” mortar spots many cause the paving to be unstable and are more likely to rock when traversed (a trip hazard that must be avoided).

Trowel the laying coarse cement mix where you want lay the slab

As you lay each slab, trowel the cement mix laying coarse where the slab will be placed. The cement mix mortar should be approximately 50mm in depth. Trowel it with small peaks that come above the height of you laying coarse guide string line. This will ensure that when you tamp the slab down to the correct level it receives a full bed from the cement mix as the peaks spread and flatten.

6) Wait 24 hours for the mortar to set

Wait 24 hours

Leave the freshly laid paving slabs and bedding mortar to set for 24 hours so the concrete mix can cure.

Do not allow the slabs to be walked on whilst they set.

7) Point the paving slabs

The gaps between the slabs will now need filling with appropriate pointing material. For natural stone and concrete slabs a two-part epoxy jointing compound such as EasyJoint is recommended. For porcelain paving slabs an exterior paving grout such as Pro-Pave Grout should be used.

7a) Jointing Compound for Concrete & Stone Slabs

How to Apply EASYJoint Jointing Compound for Concrete Slabs, Stone Slabs, Bricks, Cobbles and Setts.

EasyJoint jointing compound designed to replace traditional mortar pointing. The main advantages it provides are:

  • Can joint in wet or dry weather conditions (does not matter if it is raining).
  • Very easy to install/apply – no specialist tools
  • Brush in and brush off
  • Suitable for natural stone and concrete paving, blocks, cobbles, setts and bricks
  • Pet friendly
  • Quick – fast application and finishing with quick curing
  • No Waste
  • Non-staining – does not leave stains or colouration on paving
  • Prevent weeds – inhibits weed growth in your paving joints

Jointing your paving with EASYJoint

  • Thoroughly mix in a tub/bucket until the colour is uniform and consistent
  • Brush (us a yard broom) the mix into the joints so they are fully filled
  • Use a pointing tool or brush to achieve the right depth and finish to your jointing.
  • As the mix starts to cure and harden brush off excess material.
  • Once the Jointing compound has set you give the paving a final sweep to brush off any last particles.

EASYJoint comes in 4 colours suitable for many different paving options. You can check it out here – https://thecobbleshop.co.uk/product/easy-joint-basalt-12-5kg/

7 b) Paving Grout for Porcelain Paving Slabs

How to Apply Tile Grout for Porcelain Paving

For exterior porcelain paving you will need a suitable paving grout. Most tubs of paving grout come with multiple bags powdered mix. These allow you to make up smaller batches of grout when pointing your patio. You don’t want unused grout curing and going hard before you’ve been able to apply it to the paving joints, so mix the bags as and when you need them.

Mix the grout

  • Each bag of grout mix will have a precise amount of water to which you’ll add the powder.
  • Always consult the packing/instructions for the precise amount of water per bag.
  • Use fresh clean water (and a clean bucket).
  • Carefully measure your water.
  • Pour the correct amount into a mixing bucket or tub and slowly pour in a bag of powder.
  • Mix with an electric drill with a mixing paddle or use a dedicated electric mixing paddle.
  • Ensure that the mix is smooth and free of lumps

Apply the grout, and then clean off the excess residue

  • Ensure the joint is dry so the applied grout adheres to the porcelain slabs on either side of the joint correctly.
  • Dampen the surface of the porcelain slabs (without wetting the inside of the joint) – this will help the grout float move more smoothly as you apply the grout and assist cleaning up residual grout on either side of the joint.
  • Using a grout float, press the grout into the joint ensuring it fully fills the joint and smooth with the float.
  • Spread and removed excess grout, pushing further down the line of the joint to leave as little residual grout on either side of the joint as possible. Work like this along the line of the joint.
  • Clean the slabs – use a tiling sponge or tile wash float to wipe away the residual grout (grout haze) on either side of the joint. You will likely need the grout to harden/cure slightly so you are not wiping it away from the joint, but you’ll need to start cleaning whilst the grout haze is still easily wipeable (i.e. not cured).
  • Wipe away the grout haze with your sponge/wash float at a 45 degree angle to the joint to ensure you don’t catch, smear or excavate the grout from the joint.
  • Ensure this cleaning/sponging process is done as soon as the grout has started to harden. You don’t want the residual grout haze setting, so clean and wiped it away as early as possible. Don’t leave cleaning away the grout residue for “later” as it will harden/set and be difficult remove.

How To Lay Porcelain Paving – Design Inspiration

Design Inspiration

When it comes to laying a patio area in your garden, many people choose a regular grid o square or rectangular slabs, all the same size and colour. It’s surprisingly easy to create a practical yet beautiful space by playing with different textures, colours and laying patterns.

Here are some simple yet creative ideas to inspire you and help you design your perfect space.

  • Stack Bond is the simplest and most common way to lay a patio. Coordinate your grout colour for a seamless look, or use a contrasting colour to add a simple statement.
  • Third bond is a great way to lay planks and larger tiles for a contemporary look. Staggering the tiles in this way creates an organic feel and helps to define the shape of the tiles.
  • Diamond Layout is an interesting twist on a simple pattern, perfect for square tiles.
  • Random Stagger is a great way to create a natural look, this design works well with plank tiles.
  • Herringbone is a good way to create a sense of space in small areas, this design works well with plank tiles.
  • Modular-Style is a mix of both square and rectangular tiles in the same design and colour. This is really effective in larger areas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How To Lay Porcelain Paving – Installation Advice

With the right materials and preparation, you can easily install your own tiles. Follow these simple steps to create your own seamless outdoor space.

Handle your tiles with care to avoid breakages and seek assistance when lifting them.

How to install porcelain tiles on wet mortar – 

  1. Firstly, mark out the area where you want the patio to be with marking spray which can be purchased here on our website – https://thecobbleshop.co.uk/product/upside-down-marking-paint/ . Measure the length and width of your area and multiply these values together to calculate the square meterage.
  2. Before you lay your tiles you will need to prepare the ground by diffing to a depth of around 150-200mm.
  3. Fill with hardcore, we recommend Type One – https://thecobbleshop.co.uk/product/type-1/. We recommend filling the area to a depth of around 100-150mm and use a rake to distribute the mixture. Compress the hardcore using a whacker power plate.
  4. Add a layer of mortar on top of the compressed hardcore. We recommend 4 parts sand to 1 part cement.
  5. Coat the back of your tiles with Instarmac Pro-Prime Slurry to create a sticky surface for the mortar and tiles to lay on and fix them in place –  https://thecobbleshop.co.uk/product/instarmac-pro-prime-slurry-grey/
  6. Place the tile into position, using a corner as a starting point – for example, next to a wall or house. Press into place and use a rubber mallet and spirit level to secure and adjust the level remembering to take drainage into consideration. Continue to lay the tiles in this way leaving a 3-5mm gap between each one.
  7. Avoid walking on your newly laid patio for a minimum of 24-48 hours to allow it to dry and strengthen. If you wish to fill any gaps, we recommend using ProPave Brush-In Grout designed for outdoor porcelain tiles – https://thecobbleshop.co.uk/?product_cat=&post_type=product&s=grout. Use a brush to mix over the joints, gradually and evenly filling them all in. Once the joints are filled, use a pointing trowel to firm the grout into place. Add more grout if needed to create a clean and level finish.

Indian Sandstone Paving

Indian Sandstone Paving

When thinking of India, one thinks of beauty and colour. The majestic Taj Mahal, the vivid colours of Holi Festival, and the rich, bright colours of the nation’s traditional dress. This vibrancy and richness of colour is no longer limited to the people of India though, and the Cobble Shop can now bring it directly into your garden! Made and designed with quality and value in mind, our Indian Sandstone Paving is one of our most popular paving options. Our sandstone is calibrated and hand cut, it comes in three lovely blended colours that will add warm tones and texture to both traditional and contemporary gardens.

By taking advantage of our ethically sourced Indian Sandstone paving slabs, which are mined in the north west region of Rajasthan in India, you can bring some of the rich colour of Indian culture to the UK. Indian sandstone paving is an excellent way to decorate your garden and looks fantastic. As with any natural stone, no two pieces look exactly alike, which will give your garden a raw feel and a timeless charm.

What colours is Indian Sandstone Paving available in?

Our Indian Sandstone Paving is available in 3 colours –

  • Pure Grey
  • Sunset Buff
  • Raj Blend

Pure Grey is sometimes known as Castle Grey.

Sunset Buff is sometimes known as Buff Sandstone.

Raj Blend is sometimes known as Raj Green.

What sizes are available?

Our sandstone is sold only by the square meter.

Per square meter you would receive ONE of each size listed below –

  • 300mm x 300mm
  • 300mm x 600mm
  • 600mm x 600mm
  • 600mm x 900mm

Each sandstone slab is approximately 18-19mm thick however the slabs have a naturally riven surface so this may vary slightly depending on the individual slab.

Why use Indian Sandstone Paving?

Use slabs of Indian Sandstone to create areas of your garden to enjoy long summer evenings after a BBQ; or use the edging packs of sandstone to create pleasant effects around the perimeter of the garden. We even have circular Indian stone slabs, giving you the opportunity to use them as stepping stones for walkways, whether it be across the garden or as a path through chips and gravel stones. Indian sandstone paving is naturally durable and can easily withstand the rugged British climate.

Over time, the stones will show signs of weathering, as all-natural stones do. This is a part of the process of having any type of natural substance in your garden or home; adding to the appeal.

artificial grass

Artificial Grass

Artificial Grass

Fed up of cutting the grass? Do you have a dog that digs the garden up? Do you just want a low maintenance garden? Artificial grass is the solution! Artificial lawn stays fresh and full looking all year round. With no need to cut it, no need for pesticides or fertilisers, it is easily installed and even easier to maintain.

Why Artificial Grass

An artificial lawn is a very smart and suitable solution for your lawn and has several benefits that make it more convenient for the owner.

Have a look at the artificial grass we stock and the relevant products – https://thecobbleshop.co.uk/artificial-grass/

  • Quick and easy to install
  • Aesthetically pleasing all year round
  • Low maintenance
  • Durable
  • Child & pet friendly
  • Allergy-free
  • Long lasting
  • Cost effective
  • Drains well

How To Lay

Step One – 

Before you start you should plan out and clear the area you are looking to work with. Ensure that cables and water pipes are below the digging depth. Remove any turf/soil/aggregate to a depth of 50mm. Once the ground has been dug out, put down a type 1 stone base or similar.

Step Two –

Create a frame or an edge for the grass to come up against – we recommend a timber frame. Leave around 3-5cm exposed once the frame or edge has been knocked into the ground.

Step Three –

Apply around 6mm of whin dust and use a piece of timber or something similar to drag the dust across the application area to provide a smooth surface. If using sand, it is recommended that the depths should not be more than 20mm. Use hardcore such as type 1 to level out larger imperfections (i.e. over 20mm) before applying sand.

Step Four – 

As with all paving options and decorative gravel options, it is also recommended that when laying artificial grass, you should also lay weed control fabric below to supress any weeds that may grow below whilst also allowing water drainage.

Step Five –

Unroll the artificial lawn being careful not to move the weed control fabric. It is recommended that having the pile direction running toward the house will give the best look when standing at the window looking out. Once positioned, trim excess grass away.

Step Six – 

It is recommended that once the grass is down, you should brush in kiln sand to the turf. This can be done using a blower and a stiff brush or a lawn fertiliser spreader. We recommend 6-8kg of sand per m2 of product. This step ensures the most natural looking finish. This sand dressing should be done on a dry day and preferably the same day as the installation of the grass.

How To Care For Artificial Grass

Here at The Cobble Shop, we stock an Artificial Grass cleaner which comes in two sizes; a 2 litre bottle with a spray gun which simply attaches to a garden hose to produce a cleansing foam and a 1 litre bottle with a standard trigger spray which is great for spot cleaning mess on your artificial lawn. To purchase this artificial grass cleaner, please click on the attached link – https://thecobbleshop.co.uk/product/nilco-artificial-grass-cleaner/ 

Disclaimer

Our artificial grass is cut to order as per your specified measurements. Please ensure you have checked your measurements before ordering.

Once the artificial grass has been cut, we will not be able to honour any returns.

Changes in measurements can be amended up to but no later than 72 hours before the date of delivery or collection.

Porcelain Paving

Porcelain Paving

Hard wearing and practical, these tiles have a 10 year guarantee, are simple to install and require no sealing – the perfect way to create a drabble and low maintenance living space that’s great for the whole family.

Features & Benefits of Porcelain Paving

Not only do our porcelain tiles look amazing, they also have many other benefits. These tiles are manufactures in a way that avoids all imperfections associated with natural stone and traditional paving slabs. Pressed in a raw state and heated at very high temperatures.

What are the features and benefits?

  • Uniform Thickness (20mm thickness throughout)
  • Algae & Moss Resistant
  • Good Slip Resistance (slip rating of R11)
  • Simple to Install
  • Frostproof
  • Easy To Clean
  • Colour Bodied
  • Fade Resistant

How To Lay Porcelain Paving

  • Mark out the area
  • Dig the ground to a depth of around 150-200mm
  • Fill with hardcore to a depth of around 100-150mm and compress
  • Add a layer of mortar on top of the compressed hardcore (we recommend 4 parts sand to 1 part cement) – https://thecobbleshop.co.uk/product/instarmac-pro-prime-slurry-grey/
  • Mix the ProPrime Slurry Primer with 7 litres of water in a suitable container
  • Place the tile in position. It is recommended that you use a corner as a starting point
  • Avoid walking on the tiles for a minimum of 24-48 hours
  • Once you have waited for the tiles to set completely, it is recommended to fill any gaps in with the ProPave Brush in Grout – https://thecobbleshop.co.uk/?product_cat=&post_type=product&s=grout

How To Cut Porcelain Tiles

Step One –

Outdoor porcelain tiles are super strong and cannot be cut using traditional hand tools. In order to minimise breakages and spoiled cuts, our supplier recommends using a water fed cutter with a diamond blade. This will also help to minimise dust. Always wear gloves, safety footwear, googles and respiratory protection when using cutting equipment. Handle your tiles with care to avoid breakages and seek assistance when lifting.

Step Two –

Measure and mark a line where you would like to cut the tile. Cut from the top surface with the blade running at half-revs. Bring the blade into contact with the tile. As the blade bites the tile, increase the revs if necessary and progress along the marked line/ Ensure the blade is water fed throughout and remains evenly balanced. Do not attempt to plunge the blade through the tile in one go – progress steadily and repeat the process until the tile is cut.

**Please seek advise from a professional if planning to cut Porcelain Tiles**

De-Icing Salt from The Cobble Shop

De-Icing Salt

To make things easier and safer for everyone this winter, we will be supplying de-icing salt, which is highly effective at clearing paths, steps, driveways and pavements of ice. The salt works quickly and will prevent any nasty falls. We recommend spreading some the in the evening time to ensure no ice is able to form through the night.

Our de-icing salt is available at the unbeatable price of £6.99 per bag and we will also be running a 4 for £25 promotion throughout winter. It can be a very dangerous time of year for people to get around, especially elderly people; it’s important we do all we can to help prevent accidents. We can also supply full pallets of de-icing salt for industrial or commercial use. Get in touch with us for more information.

We will be making great use of our favourite toy this winter to help us bag up all that salt: our on-site bagging plant. This state-of-the-art machinery has revolutionised our ability to bag and supply products for our customers.

The Cobble Shop’s Winter essentials are available in-store at our Stewarton showroom. Please contact us if you have any questions.

 

Our New Bagging Plant

Self-improvement is never an easy thing. It takes dedication and a willingness to become a better version of yourself. The same is true of a growing business, even Ayrshire’s favourite supplier of garden aggregates and building materials is always trying to improve things. Recently, The Cobble Shop has taken a huge step in terms of productivity and efficacy. Ayrshire, meet our brand new toy!

This state-of-the-art high-speed robotic bagging machine is the latest member of the Cobble Shop family and will allow us to greatly increase our productivity and output. The bagging plant automatically weighs and doses product that is sent along a conveyer belt before being tightly sealed in a polyethylene bag and stacked on pallets by a high-tech robot arm.

The precision and “intelligence” of the robot arm is such that it can be programmed to stack pallets in a certain order, and automatically adjusts to ensure perfect balance is always maintained. The is able to load up two pallets at the one time, with each pallet being perfectly stacked and ready for removal by Cobble Shop employees.

The speed of throughput on the machine allows us to output up to 10 bags of material per minute (depending on the material in use). A far greater number than would be possible with man-power alone. The system is housed in a specially built construction on the premises of The Cobble Shop and will be used to bag chips, pebbles, cobbles and gravels.

The new machinery will open up all new job opportunities for people in the local community as the business expands and grows. More product means more people to deliver it, more clients to network with, more progress all round!

Moving into the wholesale market has long been one of our aspirations at The Cobble Shop and the new bagging plant will allow us to do this. The already excellent service we provide to our current consumer base will also improve, as we are able to work a lot more efficiently and bag more products in a faster time.

These are exciting times for The Cobble Shop. Adding this new equipment to our arsenal represents a massive leap forward for the company. None of which would be possible without your continued support and custom, of which we are truly appreciative!
