This guide is for homeowners and landscapers looking to create durable and attractive outdoor spaces like patios, driveways, and garden paths. The key benefit is the natural beauty and longevity of Rippon Buff sandstone, offering a warm, inviting aesthetic with excellent slip resistance. A potential caveat is that as a natural stone, slight variations in color and texture are to be expected. These setts offer a premium natural stone paving solution, featuring a honed and tumbled finish for a refined yet rustic look, providing strength, weather resistance, and ease of maintenance for a lasting appeal.

One split pack contains approximately 150 sandstone setts and covers an area of around 1.5 square metres.
Yes, Rippon Buff sandstone is strong and durable. For driveway use, ensure a robust sub-base and bedding layer are installed to support vehicle weight.
Regular cleaning involves sweeping away debris. For deeper cleaning, use water and a stiff brush. A mild detergent can be used for tougher stains, but avoid harsh chemicals.
Rippon Buff sandstone is known for retaining its natural color well. Like all natural stone, some subtle weathering will occur, but significant fading is unlikely with proper care.
Each sett measures approximately 200 mm in length, 50 mm in width, and 40 mm in thickness.
The lightly textured finish provides natural slip resistance. While it offers better grip than smooth surfaces, caution is always advised on wet paving.
Yes, they can be combined with other compatible natural stones or paving materials, but ensure consistent installation depths and bedding for a level finish.
Check the bedding material for consistency and ensure the base was adequately compacted. Re-level individual setts by lifting and adding/removing bedding material as needed.
This is natural for sandstone. Mix setts from different packs during installation to achieve a more blended appearance.
Clean regularly with water and a stiff brush. For persistent growth, use a specialized stone cleaner designed for natural stone patios. Ensure good drainage to prevent moisture build-up.
The tumbled finish naturally gives a slightly aged look. Minor chips can occur during handling or installation; this is normal for natural stone. Ensure adequate protection during laying.
Setup: These sandstone setts require a well-prepared base, typically consisting of a compacted sub-base (like MOT Type 1) and a layer of sharp sand or ballast for bedding. Laying patterns should be planned before starting, ensuring consistent joint widths. For driveways, a more substantial sub-base is recommended.
Compatibility: Rippon Buff Sandstone Setts are compatible with most standard paving installation methods and materials, including sand and cement mortar for bedding and jointing, or traditional sand and aggregate jointing compounds.
Care: Minimal care is needed. Regular sweeping will remove surface debris. For cleaning, use water and a stiff brush. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, which can damage the stone's natural finish. Mild detergent can be used for stubborn stains. In areas prone to moss or algae, a dedicated stone cleaner can be applied periodically. Sealing is optional but can provide extra protection against stains and enhance the colour, though it may alter the natural slip resistance.
