FAQs

What is the R11 rating?

The R11 rating signifies a high level of slip resistance, classifying the surface as safe for use in environments where there is a high risk of slipping, especially when wet.

Do I need to seal these porcelain slabs?

No, these outdoor porcelain paving slabs are manufactured to be stain-resistant and do not require sealing, making them a low-maintenance option.

How should I account for breakages?

It is recommended to order 10-15% extra slabs to account for potential breakages during transit and installation.

What is the return policy for damaged items?

The first 5% of transit damage is not covered. Damages between 5% and 20% are refunded on a pro-rata basis. Replacements are only provided if total damage exceeds 20%.

Can these slabs be used indoors?

While primarily designed for outdoor use, the durable nature of porcelain means they could be used indoors, but their R11 rating is optimized for external safety requirements.

What are the dimensions of each slab?

Each slab measures 600mm in length, 900mm in width, and 20mm in thickness.

How much area does a full set of 40 slabs cover?

A full set of 40 slabs, each 600x900mm, covers approximately 21.6 square meters (40 slabs x 0.54 sqm/slab).

Troubleshooting

Uneven paving slabs after installation.

Check the sub-base for an even, compacted layer. Ensure the bedding mortar was applied consistently and the slabs were tapped gently into place. Adjustments may be needed if the issue is caught early.

Slabs appear to be chipping or cracking.

Verify that only appropriate tools were used for cutting and that the sub-base is stable. Ensure no excessive weight was applied before the bedding material fully cured. Check for impact damage.

Stains are difficult to remove.

Use a cleaner specifically designed for porcelain paving. Avoid harsh chemicals. For organic stains like mold or mildew, a diluted bleach solution might be used cautiously, followed by thorough rinsing.

Excessive grout haze on the surface.

Remove grout haze promptly after application according to the grout manufacturer's instructions, typically with a damp sponge. If dried, a specific grout haze remover may be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation of porcelain paving slabs requires a prepared sub-base, typically a compacted layer of MOT Type 1 aggregate followed by a sand or bedding mortar layer. Ensure the sub-base is level and adequately drained. Lay the slabs on the prepared bed, tapping them gently into place to ensure a firm bond. Use appropriate paving spacers to maintain consistent joint widths.

Compatibility:

These slabs are designed for outdoor use on patios, terraces, pathways, and other hard landscaping projects. They are compatible with most standard external tiling adhesives and grouts when installed on a suitable sub-base. Ensure any adhesive or grout used is rated for outdoor porcelain tiles.

Care:

Porcelain paving is renowned for its low maintenance.

  1. Regular Cleaning: Sweep away loose debris regularly.
  2. Washing: For general cleaning, use a stiff brush with water and a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
  3. Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, consult specific porcelain cleaner recommendations, but typically, a gentle scrub with water and mild soap is sufficient due to the non-porous nature of the material.

*Always avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface.*
