FAQs

How much area does one pack of these paving slabs cover?

One pack contains ten 600x900mm slabs and covers approximately 13.5 square meters.

Are these slabs suitable for wet areas like around a pool?

Yes, the R11 slip-resistance rating makes them suitable for areas where there is a risk of wet conditions, providing good traction.

How do I clean algae or moss off the paving?

Use a patio cleaner specifically designed for removing biological growth. Follow the product instructions carefully. Regular sweeping and rinsing can help prevent buildup.

Can I install these on a raised patio using pedestals?

Yes, these 20mm thick porcelain slabs are suitable for installation on adjustable pedestals, allowing for a raised patio design.

What is the advantage of rectified edges?

Rectified edges are precisely cut to ensure uniform size and perfectly straight edges. This allows for very narrow grout joints (typically 2-3mm), creating a clean, modern, and seamless look.

Are these slabs frost-proof?

Yes, vitrified porcelain is highly resistant to frost and extreme temperature changes, making it ideal for the UK climate.

How does Kandla Grey porcelain compare to natural Kandla Grey sandstone?

Kandla Grey porcelain offers a consistent colour and finish inspired by sandstone but with enhanced durability, lower maintenance, and superior slip resistance. Natural stone can vary in colour and may require more sealing and care.

Troubleshooting

Uneven surface or rocking slabs

Check the sub-base for stability and levelness. Re-lay the affected slabs on a fresh, compacted mortar bed or adjust pedestal height.

Grout lines looking untidy

Ensure grout is applied evenly and excess is wiped off promptly. Allow grout to cure fully before heavy traffic.

Persistent staining

Use a specialist porcelain patio cleaner and follow product instructions. Ensure the spill was cleaned as soon as possible after it occurred.

Slabs chipping or cracking

This is rare with vitrified porcelain but can occur with severe impact. Ensure the sub-base is adequate and the product is installed as per recommendations. Contact the retailer if a manufacturing defect is suspected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Prepare the Sub-base: Ensure a stable, level sub-base is created using compacted hardcore and grit sand. The base should be sufficiently deep to support the slabs and prevent movement.
Laying Method: These slabs are typically laid on a full bed of mortar or on pedestals for raised patios. Follow recommended bedding depths and slopes for drainage.
Cutting: Use a suitable wet tile saw with a diamond blade designed for porcelain to cut the slabs if necessary. Always wear appropriate safety gear.
Grouting: Apply grout into the narrow joints between the rectified edges. Use a grout specifically designed for external use and porcelain tiles.

Compatibility:

These paving slabs are compatible with most standard external paving installation methods, including mortar beds and adjustable pedestals.

Care:

Regular Cleaning: Sweep away loose debris regularly. Wash with warm water and a mild detergent using a stiff brush if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a dedicated porcelain cleaner following the manufacturer's instructions. Promptly clean up spills.
Moss and Algae: If moss or algae begin to appear, use a specific patio cleaner designed to remove biological growth. Ensure good drainage around the area to prevent recurrence.
Winter Care: No special winter treatment is typically required due to the durable nature of porcelain. Ensure drainage is clear of leaves and debris to prevent ice buildup.
