What is free length?
What does it mean, how do you lay it, and what does it look like?
Natural stone comes in either fixed length or free or random length. Free length has a fixed width, usually 50 or 60cm and the length varies. The lengths vary from stone to stone, with some having a large range of sizes, while other stones may only have 3 or 4 different sizes. The quantity of each size is split evenly across your order.
They are designed to be laid in a brick bond with randomised placements to offset the grout lines.
This creates a soft organic feel, suited perfectly to traditional interiors or to add character and texture to newer properties.
