FAQs

What is the coverage per pack?

Each pack contains 52 Urbex Riven paving slabs, providing a total coverage of 10.5 square meters.

What are the dimensions of each slab?

Each slab measures 450 x 450mm with a thickness of 38mm.

Can I use these slabs for a driveway?

These slabs are primarily designed for patios and pathways. For driveways, a more heavy-duty paving solution with a thicker base is typically required due to vehicle weight.

How should I clean these paving slabs?

Regular sweeping is recommended. For deeper cleaning, use a stiff brush with water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What is the warranty period?

The Urbex Riven paving slabs come with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee, subject to terms and conditions.

Are these slabs slip-resistant?

The riven surface texture generally provides good grip, making them a practical choice for outdoor use. However, like all paving, they can become slippery when wet or covered in moss/algae.

What colours are available?

The Urbex Riven paving is available in three popular colour options: Buff, Natural, and Charcoal.

Troubleshooting

Slabs appear uneven after installation

Check the base for adequate compaction and leveling. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by carefully tapping slabs down or adding/removing bedding material. Ensure jointing sand is fully swept in.

Color variation is more pronounced than expected

As a natural product, color variations are normal. If significant, ensure slabs were mixed from different packs during installation for a more uniform appearance. Consider applying a color-enhancing sealant after a settling period.

Weeds are growing through the joints

Ensure the jointing sand was compacted adequately. Re-sweep kiln-dried sand into the joints, or consider using a weed-resistant jointing compound for a more permanent solution.

Surface appears dull or stained

Clean the surface with a mild detergent and water. For persistent stains, use a specialized concrete patio cleaner. Consider applying a patio sealant to protect the surface and restore its appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Site Preparation: Ensure the ground is level and well-compacted. A layer of sub-base material (e.g., crushed stone) is recommended, followed by a screeded layer of sand or grit for a stable foundation.
  2. Laying: Place the slabs onto the prepared base, maintaining consistent joint gaps (typically 5-10mm) using spacers if necessary.
  3. Jointing: Once laid, fill the gaps between slabs with kiln-dried sand or a suitable jointing compound to lock them in place and prevent weed growth.

Compatibility:

  • These slabs are compatible with standard paving installation methods.
  • They are suitable for use with edging stones and other landscaping materials.
  • Consider the drainage of your area; ensure water can run off the paved surface effectively.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly sweep away leaves and debris. For stubborn dirt or stains, use a stiff brush with water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Stain Prevention: For added protection against stains (e.g., from food, grease, or moss), consider applying a patio sealant after installation and at regular intervals.
  • Moss and Algae: Treat any moss or algae growth promptly with a specific patio cleaner designed to kill spores.
