FAQs

What is the total coverage of one pack?

One pack contains 52 slabs and covers a total area of 10.5 square meters.

Are these slabs suitable for driveways?

These slabs are designed for patios and pathways. For driveways, a thicker, more robust paving solution specifically designed for vehicular weight would be recommended.

Can I mix colours or sizes of these slabs?

While you can mix colours, these particular slabs are only available in the 450 x 450 x 38mm size. Mixing different sizes would require careful planning for a cohesive design.

How should I prepare the ground before laying the slabs?

A stable, well-compacted base is crucial. This typically involves digging out the area, adding and compacting a layer of hardcore or aggregate, and then topping with a layer of sharp sand for bedding.

What is the warranty period?

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

How do I clean the paving slabs?

Regular sweeping is advised. For cleaning, use a stiff brush with water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Will the colour of the slabs stay consistent?

As a natural product, some variation in colour between batches and even within a single slab can occur. This is a characteristic of the material.

Troubleshooting

Uneven surface after installation

Check the bedding sand layer and ensure it is evenly compacted and level. Re-lay any affected slabs if necessary, ensuring a consistent depth of sand.

Moss or algae growth

Regularly sweep the slabs. For stubborn growth, use a stiff brush with warm soapy water or a dedicated patio cleaner suitable for concrete. Ensure good drainage to minimize moisture retention.

Slabs appear to be fading or discolouring

Natural colour variations are inherent to this product. Ensure the slabs are clean; sometimes dirt can mask the true colour. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents.

Cracking or chipping

This can occur if heavy objects are dropped or if the base is not adequately prepared. Ensure a solid, compacted base was used during installation. Minor chips can sometimes be concealed with appropriate repair fillers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: For optimal performance and longevity, these paving slabs require a properly prepared foundation. This typically involves excavating the area, laying a sub-base of compacted hardcore or aggregate, followed by a layer of sharp sand to create an even bedding for the slabs. Slabs should be laid on a full mortar bed for best results, especially for patios. Ensure a slight slope away from buildings for drainage.

Compatibility: These concrete paving slabs are compatible with most standard landscaping materials and edge restraints. They are suitable for use with gravel, decorative stones, and other paving types when used as part of a larger design.

Care: To maintain the appearance and condition of your Urbex Riven Concrete Paving Slabs, regular cleaning is recommended. Sweep away loose debris and dirt. For stubborn stains or moss, use a stiff brush with water and a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the surface. Ensure drains are clear to prevent waterlogging.
