FAQs
Can these slabs be used for a driveway?
These are designed for utility and foot traffic; they are not intended for heavy vehicular traffic.
How many slabs are in one pack?
Each pack contains 60 slabs.
What is the thickness of each slab?
Each slab is 32 mm thick.
Are these slabs slip-resistant?
Yes, the riven texture provides enhanced traction compared to perfectly smooth pavers.
Can I cut these slabs to size?
Yes, they can be cut using a masonry saw with an appropriate diamond blade, though proper safety gear should be worn.
What is the best way to clean them?
Use a stiff-bristled brush and water; avoid pressure washing if the mortar joints are loose.
Troubleshooting
Slabs are rocking after installation
The sub-base or mortar bed is uneven; lift the slab and re-level the bedding material before resetting.
Surface water pooling
Ensure the paving has a slight gradient (at least 1:80) away from buildings to encourage proper drainage.
Staining on the surface
Clean promptly with a stiff brush and clean water; avoid letting organic matter like leaves decay on the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your paving, begin by excavating the area to a depth of approximately 150 mm. Apply a sub-base of crushed stone, leveled and compacted thoroughly. Follow with a mortar bed to set each slab firmly in place, ensuring an even finish. Maintain a consistent gap between slabs if pointing is required for drainage. For care, keep the slabs clear of moss and debris using a stiff brush. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can affect the natural buff finish; a simple wash with water and mild detergent is typically sufficient to maintain their appearance.
