FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a shovel, level, rubber mallet, measuring tape, string line, and a saw or angle grinder for cutting slabs. Safety glasses and gloves are also recommended.

How do I calculate how many kits I need?

Each kit covers 7.29m2. Measure the area you want to pave, calculate the total square meters, and divide by 7.29 to determine the number of kits required.

Can I use this paving kit for a driveway?

While the kit is durable, it is primarily designed for patios, walkways, and garden features. For driveways, consider a paving solution specifically designed to withstand vehicular traffic and weight.

How do I maintain the color of the paving?

Regular cleaning and the application of a concrete sealer can help maintain the color and protect the paving from the elements. Reapply sealer as needed, following the manufacturer's instructions.

What type of base is recommended?

A compacted sub-base of crushed stone, followed by a layer of sharp sand, is recommended for proper drainage and stability.

How do I cut the paving slabs?

Use a wet saw or an angle grinder with a diamond blade to cut the slabs accurately. Always wear appropriate safety gear, including eye protection and a dust mask.

Troubleshooting

Uneven surface after installation

Check the sub-base for compaction and ensure all slabs are level. Use a rubber mallet to tap down any uneven slabs.

Slabs shifting or sinking

Ensure the sub-base is properly compacted and that adequate drainage is in place. Re-level and re-lay affected slabs.

Weeds growing through the joints

Use a weed killer and consider using a jointing compound to help prevent future weed growth.

Stains on the surface

Clean stains immediately using a suitable cleaner for concrete paving. Consider sealing the paving to protect against future stains.
