Description

What you get

Why we charge £5
The stone is free. The £5 covers Royal Mail postage. We think that's a fair trade — you get to see and feel the real material before spending money on a hearth slab, and we get to show you what container-direct stone actually looks like.
Your £15 discount
Every sample ships with a £15 discount code. Use it against any full slab order on this site. It's our way of making sure the sample pays for itself the moment you place your hearth order.

Frequently asked questions
Can I order more than one sample?
We ask that you limit samples to one per address. If you'd like to compare Standard and Premium, the sample we send reflects the natural variation across the range — the £15 discount code works against either grade when you order.
Does the sample show both grades?
The sample piece comes from our Standard (C2) stock and shows the natural riven character of the stone. Premium (C1) is the same material, hand-selected for tighter colour consistency. Our grade guide included with the sample explains the difference clearly.
How long is the £15 discount code valid?
The code is valid for 30 days from the date your sample is dispatched. You'll receive a reminder before it expires.
