This specific pack contains 60 slabs.
The pack provides a total coverage area of 12.15 square meters.
These slabs are designed for patios and pathways; they are generally not suitable for vehicular traffic unless a specialized structural sub-base is engineered.
Sealing is not strictly required but is highly recommended to protect the concrete from staining, weathering, and weed growth in the joints.
Yes, the textured surface is specifically designed to provide better grip, making them a safe choice for areas exposed to rain.
Lift the affected slab, adjust the amount of bedding sand or mortar beneath it, and tap it back into place with a rubber mallet until level.
Use a stiff-bristled broom and a mild detergent mixed with warm water to scrub the surface, then rinse thoroughly with a hose.
To ensure a long-lasting finish, follow these steps for installation: 1. Excavate the area to the required depth, 2. Add a sub-base of MOT Type 1 aggregate and compact it thoroughly, 3. Lay a bedding layer of sharp sand or a semi-dry concrete mix, 4. Place slabs using a rubber mallet to level them. For care, simply sweep the slabs regularly to remove debris. To prevent algae growth or staining, you may apply a concrete sealant once the installation has fully cured, typically after a few weeks. Avoid using high-pressure washers with extreme settings, as this may degrade the textured surface over many years.
