 Handle it as little as possible – The more it is handled, the more likely it is to be damaged.
 Sandstone is very soft and will damage easily when wet. 
 If it has become wet, handle with extreme care and place in the sun to dry out before using it. Do not lay tiles, or pavers wet.
 Stone is very heavy.  Lift bending your knees, not bending your back.
 Wear gloves to protect your hands.  Sandstone is abrasive and can be very harsh if you have a large quantity to work with.
 Tiles and pavers must always be packed/stored/transported sandwiched together. Facing front to front, or back to back. This prevents scratching and scuffing as stone is abrasive.  If possible standing them on their edge is best, but not always possible.
 Always remember – The back of the tiles will have small chips around the edges.  Front edges will be chip free.
 Ensuring that they will not bump against each other is crucial for damage control.
 Large quantities will be palletized by us, suitable for transport by a transport contractor
 Small quantities may be carried in your own vehicle – please ensure that the surface they are placed on is flat and free from any obstacles and grime.  Adequate cushioning is advisable.  i.e. have a folded blanket to put underneath and around the product to protect the edges. 
 Do not overload your vehicle.  Weight restrictions apply which are enforceable by law.
 Travel carefully.  Try to avoid any harsh impact on your load.
 If you need to store your Sandstone, make sure it is in an area where risk is minimal, and preferably dry. This will save cleaning off any algae that may grow on damp stone, particularly if it is stored in an area out of direct sunlight.
