FAQs

Can I use these blocks for a driveway?

Yes, the 50mm thickness is specifically engineered for residential driveway use when installed on an appropriate sub-base.

Why do I need to blend blocks from different packs?

Because of the manufacturing process, minor color variations can exist between production batches; blending ensures a uniform appearance.

How much extra should I order?

It is recommended to order 10% more than your total surface area to cover cuts, waste, and future repairs.

Is this product suitable for DIY installation?

While it is possible for experienced DIYers, professional installation is recommended to ensure the sub-base is correctly prepared for weight-bearing.

How do I clean the paving?

Regular sweeping and a light pressure wash are generally sufficient; avoid harsh chemicals that might stain the stone.

Troubleshooting

Uneven settling or dipping of blocks

Check that the sub-base was compacted correctly and ensure proper drainage exists beneath the paving.

Visible color blotchiness

This occurs when blocks are taken from a single pack; ensure you mix blocks from at least 3-5 different packs during installation.

Weeds growing between joints

Ensure joints are fully filled with kiln-dried sand and consider a weed-suppressant geotextile membrane under the sub-base.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Clean, contemporary aesthetic with straight edges
  • Suitable for both residential driveways and garden patios
  • High-durability material engineered for long-term wear
  • Flexible design options through various laying patterns

Cons

  • Requires professional installation for optimal results
  • Color variations necessitate blending from 3-5 packs
  • Requires 10% extra material allowance for cuts and waste

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation is critical for the longevity of your paving. Begin by excavating the site to the required depth and laying a compacted sub-base. When laying the blocks, it is essential to open 3 to 5 packs simultaneously and draw from each to ensure a consistent color blend throughout the project. Always order approximately 10% more material than the measured area to account for cuts, breakages, and future repairs. Once the blocks are laid, sweep kiln-dried sand into the joints to lock them in place. For maintenance, a periodic sweep and occasional light pressure washing are sufficient to keep the smooth surface looking new.
