Full details

This guide is for homeowners and landscapers looking to create durable, elegant outdoor paving. The key benefit is the premium natural stone's timeless aesthetic and weather resistance. A caveat is that natural stone requires proper installation to ensure longevity. These pavers offer a sophisticated grey finish, a honed surface with tumbled edges for a refined yet aged look, and are suitable for a variety of outdoor applications.

FAQs

What is the approximate coverage of a pack of 150 setts?

A pack of 150 setts covers approximately 1.5 square metres, depending on the joint width.

Can these pavers be used for driveways?

Yes, they can be used for driveways, but require a very strong, properly prepared sub-base to withstand vehicle weight.

What is the difference between honed and tumbled finishes?

Honing smooths the stone surface, while tumbling softens the edges to create a gently aged, rounded appearance.

Are these pavers slippery when wet?

Kandla Grey sandstone has a naturally lightly textured finish which enhances slip resistance, making it suitable for outdoor use even in wet conditions.

Do I need to seal the sandstone?

Sealing is optional. The stone is durable on its own, but sealing can provide extra protection against stains and simplify cleaning.

How do I clean the sandstone pavers?

Regular sweeping is recommended. For cleaning, use a stiff brush with clean water. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What are the dimensions of each sett?

Each stone sett measures approximately 200 mm x 50 mm x 40 mm.

Troubleshooting

Uneven paving surface after installation

Check the sub-base and laying course for consistency. Re-level areas as needed and ensure proper compaction. Adjust individual sett levels if necessary.

Weed growth in joints

Remove weeds manually or with a weed killer safe for natural stone. Ensure joints are filled with kiln-dried sand or a suitable jointing compound.

Efflorescence (white powdery deposits)

This is a natural phenomenon in some stone. It usually weathers away over time. If persistent, a specific efflorescence remover for natural stone can be used cautiously.

Stains on the stone surface

Clean spills immediately. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated natural stone cleaner appropriate for sandstone. Always test cleaners in an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Offers a sophisticated and timeless aesthetic with natural colour variations.
Durable and resistant to weathering, suitable for UK climates.
Provides natural slip resistance for enhanced safety.
Versatile for various installation patterns and project sizes.
Refined finish with soft, aged edges for a premium look.

Cons

Natural stone may have slight colour and size variations requiring careful selection during installation.
Requires proper base preparation for optimal stability and drainage.
Split packs are best suited for smaller areas; larger projects may need multiple full packs.
Installation is more involved than with pre-cast paving slabs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Base Preparation: Ensure a well-compacted sub-base (e.g., MOT Type 1 aggregate) with adequate drainage is prepared. The depth will depend on the intended use (e.g., pedestrian vs. driveway).
Laying Course: Apply a uniform layer of sharp sand (approx. 30-50mm deep) for the setts to be laid upon.
Laying Pattern: Lay the setts according to your chosen pattern (herringbone, stretcher bond, etc.), ensuring consistent joint spacing.
Compaction: Once laid, the pavers should be lightly compacted using a plate vibrator with a rubber mat.
Jointing: Brush kiln-dried sand into the joints to lock the pavers in place. For a more permanent finish, consider a resin-based jointing compound suitable for natural stone.

Compatibility:

These pavers are compatible with most standard landscaping aggregates and jointing compounds. Ensure any bedding and jointing materials are suitable for natural sandstone.

Care:

Cleaning: Sweep regularly to remove debris. For tougher stains, use a stiff brush and clean water. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, which can damage the stone's surface.
Maintenance: Re-sanding joints may be necessary periodically to maintain stability and prevent weed growth.
Sealing (Optional): While not essential due to their durability, a breathable, natural stone sealant can be applied to offer additional protection against stains and improve ease of cleaning.
