FAQs

What is the coverage area per pack?

Each pack contains 25 slabs and covers a total area of 9 square meters (9m²).

Can these slabs be used for driveways?

These slabs are designed for patios and pathways. For driveways, a more robust paving solution specifically engineered for vehicular load is recommended.

What is the thickness of the paving slabs?

The thickness of each paving slab is 38mm.

How should I prepare the ground before laying the slabs?

A stable, level base is essential. This typically involves excavating the area, laying and compacting a hardcore sub-base, followed by a layer of sharp sand for bedding the slabs.

Are there other colours available in the Urbex Riven range?

Yes, the Urbex Riven Paving is typically available in three popular colour options: Buff, Natural, and Charcoal.

What does 'Riven' mean in the product name?

'Riven' refers to the textured surface of the paving slab, which mimics the appearance of natural stone that has been split.

What is the warranty period for these slabs?

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

Troubleshooting

Slabs appear uneven or loose after installation.

Check the sub-base; it may not be adequately compacted or level. Carefully lift affected slabs and re-lay on a properly prepared and compacted sand bed, ensuring each slab is tapped level.

Discoloration or staining on the surface.

Clean the affected area with water and a mild detergent. For persistent stains, use a concrete-specific cleaner and follow instructions carefully. Ensure good drainage to prevent standing water.

Moss or algae growth between slabs or on the surface.

Sweep regularly. Treat with a patio cleaner designed for concrete or a diluted solution of white vinegar and water. Rinse thoroughly after application.

Slabs showing signs of wear or chipping.

Ensure heavy items are not dropped directly onto the slabs. For minor chips, they can sometimes be filled with a suitable concrete repair compound. Proper installation on a solid base minimizes wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Base: Ensure a stable, level base using compacted hardcore and a layer of sharp sand. This is crucial for longevity and preventing movement.
  2. Lay the Slabs: Place the 600 x 600 x 38mm slabs onto the prepared sand bed, maintaining consistent joint gaps (typically 5-10mm).
  3. Level and Tap: Use a rubber mallet to gently tap each slab into place, ensuring it is level with its neighbours.
  4. Jointing: Fill the gaps with dry sand or a suitable jointing compound once the slabs are set.

Compatibility:

These concrete paving slabs are compatible with standard landscaping practices and materials. They can be used with most types of edging, gravel, and decorative aggregates. Ensure any sub-base materials used are suitable for paving.

Care:

  • Regular Sweeping: Keep the surface free from leaves and debris to prevent staining and moss growth.
  • Cleaning: Wash with water and a mild detergent using a stiff brush if necessary. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
  • Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a dedicated concrete cleaner, following the manufacturer's instructions. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
  • Moss/Algae: Treat with a suitable patio cleaner or a diluted vinegar solution, rinsing thoroughly afterwards.
