FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the pimpled texture?

The pimpled texture significantly enhances slip and skid resistance, providing a safer surface, especially in wet conditions.

What are the dimensions of these paving slabs?

Each slab measures 600mm in length, 600mm in width, and 50mm in thickness.

Can these slabs be used for a driveway?

These slabs are designed for pedestrian use. For driveway applications, a more heavy-duty product with a greater thickness and a stronger sub-base would typically be required.

How should I clean these paving slabs?

Regular sweeping is recommended. For cleaning, use a stiff brush with water and a mild detergent. Avoid aggressive scrubbing or high-pressure washing.

What is the colour of these paving slabs?

The colour of these specific slabs is Buff, a warm and neutral tone.

Do I need a special type of bedding material?

A standard bedding sand is typically used on top of a compacted aggregate sub-base. Ensure the sub-base is well-prepared for stability.

How much space should I leave between the slabs?

A small gap, typically 3-5mm, is recommended between the slabs to allow for jointing material. This also accommodates minor expansion and contraction.

Troubleshooting

Uneven or rocking slabs

Check the bedding layer beneath the slab. Adjust by adding or removing bedding material and re-leveling the slab. Ensure the sub-base is stable.

Moss or algae growth

Clean the affected areas with a stiff brush, water, and a mild, eco-friendly cleaner. For stubborn growth, specific patio cleaners can be used, following manufacturer instructions. Ensure good drainage to prevent recurrence.

Joints between slabs are empty or damaged

Carefully clear out any loose material from the joints. Re-fill with kiln-dried sand or a suitable jointing compound, sweeping it into the gaps until they are full. Compact gently.

Slabs appear to be discolouring

Discoloration can sometimes be caused by surface deposits or efflorescence (a white, powdery residue). Clean the surface as per care instructions. Efflorescence typically weathers away over time.

  • Limited colour options (only Buff available in this specific model).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These paving slabs require a well-prepared sub-base for optimal stability and longevity. Typically, this involves excavating the area, laying a compacted sub-base of hardcore or aggregate, followed by a layer of bedding sand. The slabs should then be laid onto the bedding sand and tapped into place, ensuring a level surface. Jointing can be completed with kiln-dried sand or a suitable jointing compound after installation.

Compatibility: The Marshalls Standard Paving Slabs are designed for pedestrian use and are compatible with most standard landscaping materials and edging solutions. Ensure the sub-base is appropriate for the intended use and ground conditions.

Care: To maintain the appearance and functionality of the paving, regular cleaning is recommended. Sweep away loose debris such as leaves and dirt. For tougher stains or algae growth, use a stiff brush with water and a mild detergent. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on the surface, as this can dislodge jointing material. Periodically check for any shifting or unevenness and address as needed by releveling or repointing.
