FAQs

What is the Riven surface finish?

The Riven surface is created by hand-splitting the stone, which results in a naturally textured, uneven finish. This provides character and enhances slip resistance.

Are these slabs suitable for all garden types?

They are ideal for traditional, rustic, or naturalistic garden styles. While versatile, their natural look may not suit extremely modern, minimalist designs.

How should I clean the paving slabs?

Sweep regularly and wash with water and a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a mild, pH-neutral patio cleaner and rinse thoroughly.

Can I use these slabs for a patio or just a path?

Yes, these slabs are suitable for both patios and paths. Their generous size makes them particularly good for creating defined patio areas.

What kind of base do I need for installation?

A stable, well-compacted base is crucial. This usually involves a layer of hardcore followed by a mortar or sharp sand bedding layer for the slabs to sit on.

How much coverage does one pack of 5 slabs provide?

Each slab is 600x900mm, so one pack covers approximately 2.7 square meters (5 slabs * 0.54 sqm/slab).

Are the colors consistent across all slabs?

Natural stone can have slight variations in color and tone, which adds to its unique character. The overall color theme will be Kandla Grey.

Troubleshooting

Slabs appear uneven after installation.

The riven surface is natural and can have slight variations. Ensure the base is perfectly level and that each slab is tapped down evenly. Minor adjustments can be made during the bedding process.

Stains appearing on the surface.

Clean immediately with water and a mild detergent. For persistent stains, use a specialized stone cleaner. Consider applying a stone sealant to prevent future staining.

Weeds growing between the slabs.

Regularly clear jointing material and re-point if necessary. A weed-resistant jointing compound can help prevent regrowth.

Chipping or flaking of the stone.

This is rare with quality sandstone but can occur if subjected to heavy impact. Ensure proper handling during installation and avoid dropping heavy objects on the finished surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Base: Ensure a firm, stable foundation. This typically involves excavating the area, laying a sub-base of compacted hardcore, and then a layer of mortar or sharp sand bedding.
  2. Lay the Slabs: Place the slabs onto the prepared base, tapping gently to set them. Due to the riven surface, slight adjustments may be needed to ensure a good fit and level finish, often using a rubber mallet.
  3. Jointing: Once laid and set, the joints between the slabs can be filled with a suitable jointing compound or mortar.

Compatibility:

These paving slabs are compatible with most standard landscaping materials and garden features. They are best suited for traditional or naturalistic garden styles. Avoid use in areas subject to heavy vehicular traffic unless specifically reinforced.

Care:

  • Regular Cleaning: Sweep away loose debris regularly. Clean with water and a stiff brush. For tougher stains, use a mild patio cleaner and rinse thoroughly.
  • Stain Prevention: Sealant can be applied to help prevent staining from oils or grease, although this may alter the natural appearance slightly.
  • Weed Control: Keep joints clear to prevent weed growth.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use acid-based cleaners, as they can damage the stone.
