The Stone Federation says it is delighted to announce the launch of a document entitled: Inspection and Snagging of Finished Internal Works using Natural Stone, available exclusively for Federation members.
The document is designed to fill a gap in the market, as previously there was no guidance on what inspectors should consider acceptable when “snagging” the natural stone elements of a project, the federation says.
Snagging is the term used to describe the process of checking the installation for compliance with the drawing specification and project samples and is one of the most contentious issues in the installation process.
The document sets out the framework for installed internal works (including dry lays using natural stone) to be assessed and approved. It reflects available guidance and tolerances within the British Standards and also incorporates guidance issued by Stone Federation in respect of floors, cladding, lining and worktops and is applicable to commercial and residential installations.
The Federation would, in particular, like to thank Steve Ring, of Stone Federation member Mega Marble, for his significant contribution to the creation of this document.
The document is free of charge to Stone Federation members. To request your digital copy, please email sara@stonefed.org.uk.
