Hello everyone!

We have chosen the Niemeier Quadroton paving stone in anthracite in the sizes 30x20x8 cm (12x8x3 inches) and 60x40x8 cm (24x16x3 inches)!

Has anyone had experience with this stone? How about the quality and weather resistance?

The price is quite attractive through our building materials supplier!

We were also offered the stone because of its good properties against shifting... Has anyone had experience with this?

This is concrete, not stone. Although the company’s history expresses pride in their expertise with concrete, the product description either lists the product name or uses the term "stone," which is simply incorrect from a technical standpoint. Why is that?
I cannot comment on the product quality. I find the promotion questionable.

Paving stone, concrete pavers, these terms do not actually refer to natural stone but are correct both technically and colloquially.

Just because the word "stone" is used, I do not expect natural stone, which is what I understand from your definition (?).

Take a look at the manufacturer’s product page if you are involved in marketing and advertising or have an eye for it. The term “concrete” does not appear in the product description or the product features. Yet the material is a key component of the product. On the other hand, the term “stone” is used multiple times – but the claim that it is stone is never explicitly made.

From my perspective, this seems to be playing with terminology to suggest something more expensive. I don’t like that at all, and that’s why I commented on it.

Of course, the product itself can be excellent.

From my own experience, I can only advise against this product. I think the picture speaks for itself.
