What are 2-6mm Limestone Chippings?
Fine limestone chippings (2-6mm) provide detailed decorative coverage and specialist applications. These small, angular chippings create neat surfaces perfect for detailed landscaping work. Loose tipped delivery for all project sizes. These angular chippings provide optimal void space for water infiltration while maintaining structural stability, making them the specified choice for leading permeable paving manufacturers such as Priora / Marshallsm Bradstone and other paving solutions.
What size are these chippings?
Graded at a 2-6mm, these fine chippings offer detailed coverage with minimal depth requirement. The small size allows intricate work around plants and features. Angular shape provides stability despite small size, resisting movement.
Where to use 2-6mm Limestone?
Perfect for alpine gardens, pot toppings, and detailed landscaping features. Essential for resin-bound surfaces and decorative concrete. Ideal between stepping stones, mosaic work, and Japanese gardens. Excellent for pathways requiring fine, stable surface.
Extra Information
Fine grade settles densely, requiring less depth than larger aggregates. The dark colour of the material can create a nice contrast in small spaces and shows off alpine plants. Due to the size of the material it may trapped in the tread of your shoes so you may have to consider entrance mats. Limestone's alkaline nature suits Mediterranean plants. Dust fraction helps to aid binding. 2-6mm limestone chippings, also known as Aquaflow chippings, are a precisely graded limestone aggregate that has been engineered specifically for permeable paving and SUDS applications. The angular chippings provide optimal void space for water infiltration while maintaining structural stability.
