Regular cleaning with warm water and a mild detergent using a stiff brush is recommended. A pressure washer on a low setting can also be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.

How much extra material should I order?
It is recommended to order 10-15% extra to account for potential breakages during transit and any necessary cuts during installation.
Are these slabs frost-resistant?

Troubleshooting
Slabs appear chipped or broken upon delivery.
Inspect the delivery carefully. Note any damage on the delivery note. Contact the supplier immediately with photographic evidence. Replacements are processed for damage exceeding 20% of the total order.
Uneven surface after installation.
This indicates an issue with the sub-base preparation or laying technique. The surface may need to be carefully lifted and relaid with a properly prepared and compacted sub-base.
Slabs look dull or stained.
Clean with a recommended porcelain cleaner and a stiff brush. Persistent stains may require professional cleaning. Ensure no inappropriate cleaning agents were used previously.
Moss or algae growth.
Clean the affected areas with a specific outdoor tile cleaner designed for porcelain. A pressure washer on a low setting can also be effective. Ensure good drainage to prevent future growth.
Shortage of slabs due to breakage.
Always order 10-15% extra paving slabs to account for cuts, breakages during transit, and potential installation wastage. This is a standard practice in paving projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Lay slabs using appropriate external tile adhesive and grout, following manufacturer recommendations for porcelain outdoor tiles.
