    I laid a few patios last year, including my own, with indian stone and we have had a very cold winter with a lot of frost.
    It has not had any effect on my patio or one of the others I laid none of the stone has 'delaminated' as Pro Gaurd has said.
    Indian stone is like all other products if you buy cheap stone you will get poor quality. But paying top price does not mean you will get good quality.
    You should all ways see a sample of the stone your supplier can get for you so you can see the quality of the stone and whether the stone is going to be too riven or too flakey.

    I also heard that Indian Sandstone splits. We've used various qualities/prices over the past few years and no one has come back to us to say they've had a problem.

    I've been using Indian Sandstone for at least ten years and have never had a problem with splitting.
