Product Information

Full details

Designed for homeowners and contractors looking to create durable outdoor areas, these textured concrete slabs are an ideal solution for patios, garden paths, and landscaping projects. The primary benefit is their long-lasting, low-maintenance finish that adds a warm, aesthetic appeal to any exterior space. A key caveat to consider is that because these are natural-finish concrete products, you should expect slight variations in color and dimensions between individual slabs, which is characteristic of the material.

FAQs

How many slabs are in one pack?

Each pack contains 40 slabs.

What is the total coverage area per pack?

One pack covers approximately 8.1 square meters.

Can these be used for driveways?

These are designed for pedestrian use; they are not rated for heavy vehicular traffic.

Why do the colors look slightly different?

Concrete is a material that can have natural batch-to-batch variations in pigment and texture.

Do I need to seal the slabs?

While not strictly required, a high-quality breathable concrete sealer can help protect against deep stains and moisture penetration.

What is the thickness of each slab?

While exact dimensions can vary slightly, they are designed to standard patio slab thickness specifications for 450x450mm units.

Troubleshooting

Slabs appear uneven after installation

Check that the sub-base was compacted sufficiently and the bedding layer is consistent across the entire area.

Visible color differences between slabs

This is a natural occurrence in concrete manufacturing; mix slabs from different packs during installation to achieve a blended, uniform aesthetic.

Surface debris or staining

Sweep regularly to prevent buildup and clean with a mild detergent and water, avoiding high-pressure power washers on the highest setting to prevent surface erosion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For a professional-grade installation, always start by excavating the area and laying a solid, compacted sub-base of crushed stone, followed by a layer of bedding sand. Ensure each slab is laid level and firmly tapped into place using a rubber mallet. Because these are concrete products, avoid using harsh acidic cleaners, which can erode the finish; instead, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush for seasonal cleaning. Always use gloves and safety footwear during installation as these units are substantial in weight.
