FAQs

How many slabs are in each kit?

Each kit includes 26 pieces.

What is the thickness of the paving slabs?

The slabs are 32-35mm thick.

What area does one kit cover?

One kit covers a 5.76m2 area.

What is the best way to clean the slabs?

Regular sweeping and washing with a mild detergent and water are recommended.

Are the slabs suitable for heavy foot traffic?

Yes, the durable construction makes them suitable for patios, paths, and general outdoor use.

Can I use these slabs for a driveway?

While durable, the slabs are primarily designed for patios, paths and garden features, and may not be suitable for the constant heavy load and use associated with driveways. Consider the intended use before installation.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

You will need standard tools such as a spirit level, rubber mallet, measuring tape, and tools for cutting, depending on your project's design.

Troubleshooting

Slabs are uneven after installation

Check the sub-base for compaction issues. Re-level the slabs by adjusting the base material underneath. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap slabs into place.

Efflorescence (white deposits) appearing on the surface

This is a natural occurrence. Brush off the deposits with a stiff brush and clean with a specialized efflorescence cleaner if necessary. Ensure good drainage to minimize this issue.

Slabs shifting or moving over time

Ensure the sub-base is properly compacted and that the jointing material is correctly applied and maintained. Consider using a polymeric sand to stabilize the joints.
