Troubleshooting
Slabs arrive with minor damage.
Minor transit damage (up to 5%) is not covered. For damage between 5%-20%, a pro-rata refund may be applicable. Contact customer service with photographic evidence. Order 10-15% extra to account for this.
Surface appears dull after cleaning.
Ensure you have used a mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue.
Uneven surface after installation.
This is likely due to an improperly prepared or uneven sub-base. The slabs may need to be lifted and relaid on a properly compacted and leveled base.
Water pooling on the surface.
Check that the installation has a slight gradient (approx. 1-2%) away from buildings to allow for proper drainage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: Proper installation is key to the longevity and performance of these paving slabs. It is recommended to install them on a prepared sub-base of compacted hardcore and sharp sand. Ensure a slight slope away from buildings for water drainage. For best results and to minimize potential breakages during installation, it is advisable to order 10-15% extra slabs.
Compatibility: These slabs are designed for outdoor use on solid ground surfaces. They are compatible with most standard paving adhesives and grouts suitable for porcelain tiles. Ensure the sub-base is stable and level.
Care: Cleaning is straightforward. Regularly sweep away loose debris. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and water with a stiff brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface. Due to their low porosity, they are resistant to most common stains, but prompt cleaning of spills is still recommended.
