Their neutral tone works with virtually every property style, from modern new builds to traditional period homes, and their clean, contemporary appearance suits everything from minimalist patios to detailed garden landscaping. At \u003cstrong\u003ePaving and Slabs Ltd\u003c\/strong\u003e, we supply grey paving stones in porcelain and natural stone finishes, starting from \u003cstrong\u003e£430 per pallet\u003c\/strong\u003e, with UK-wide delivery and quantities suited to residential and trade projects alike.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Grey Paving Stones Dominate UK Landscaping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Grey has been the dominant paving colour in UK domestic landscaping for over a decade — and unlike many design trends, it shows no signs of fading. The reason is practical as much as aesthetic: grey tones sit naturally with the cool, overcast light of the British climate in a way that warmer or brighter colours often don't. They complement almost all brickwork and render colours, they don't show dirt and leaf staining as visibly as lighter tones, and they age gracefully rather than looking tired.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The result is a paving colour that's genuinely low-risk for homeowners and enduringly popular with landscapers and architects who need a surface that will still look considered and intentional in 15 years' time.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrey Porcelain Paving — From £430 Per Pallet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Our grey porcelain paving range is the most popular category we supply, and the best value starting point for most UK patio and garden projects.

Natural stone grey paving pricing varies by material and finish — see individual product pages for current prices. Buying in pallet quantities significantly reduces the cost per square metre versus per-slab purchasing.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between grey porcelain paving and grey natural stone paving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Grey porcelain paving is manufactured to a consistent colour, requires no sealing, and has near-zero water absorption — making it highly resistant to stains, frost, and algae. Grey natural stone paving (such as grey sandstone, slate, or granite) has natural colour variation and texture, is more porous, and typically requires sealing. Porcelain is the lower-maintenance choice; natural stone offers more character and depth.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre grey paving stones suitable for driveways?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Grey paving stones can be used for driveways when specified at the correct thickness — typically 20mm porcelain or the equivalent in natural stone for vehicle use. Standard 10–15mm patio-thickness slabs are not suitable for driveways. Always check the product specification before purchasing for vehicle areas.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo grey paving stones get slippery when wet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  R11-rated grey porcelain paving provides excellent slip resistance in wet conditions and is the safest choice for UK patios and pathways exposed to rain. Smooth-finish natural stone can be more slippery when wet — a textured or riven surface finish significantly improves grip.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo grey paving stones need sealing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Grey porcelain paving requires no sealing due to its near-zero porosity. Grey natural stone — such as sandstone, slate, or granite — benefits from sealing with an impregnating stone sealer to protect against staining, water ingress, and weathering.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size grey paving slabs make a garden look bigger?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Larger format grey slabs — such as 900×600mm — make gardens and patios appear bigger by reducing the number of visible joints across the surface. Light grey tones also reflect more light, enhancing the sense of space in smaller outdoor areas.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do grey paving stones last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  With correct installation on a proper sub-base, grey porcelain paving can last 30–50 years with minimal maintenance. Grey natural stone paving, when sealed and maintained, also offers decades of performance. The biggest factor affecting lifespan is sub-base quality and installation standard — not the stone itself.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you deliver grey paving stones across the UK?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Yes — we offer nationwide pallet delivery across mainland UK.

Periodically sweep loose leaf clutter and wash down annually with a specialized patio cleaner to eliminate seasonal moss or green algae. Avoid using high-pressure sprayers directly along joint lines to prevent compound erosion. Applying a breathable, impregnating sealer after installation preserves the natural grey coloration against weathering and shields the stone from accidental organic stains.

Sealing after installation further reduces moisture absorption and extends frost resistance over the long term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eWhat is the best way to lay 900x600mm paving slabs?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe most popular laying pattern for 900x600mm slabs is stretcher bond — similar to a brick bond — where each row is offset by half a slab length. This pattern is simple to set out, minimises cuts and produces a clean, contemporary result. Stack bond with fully aligned joints is also used in formal or minimalist designs. Always use a full mortar bed rather than spot bedding for slabs of this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eDoes Kandla Grey sandstone need sealing?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSealing is strongly recommended. An impregnating breathable sealer applied after installation significantly reduces staining from organic matter, limits moss and algae growth, preserves the stone's colour and makes routine cleaning much easier. It does not change the appearance of the stone. Reapply every two to three years depending on exposure and foot traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eCan these slabs be used for a driveway?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThese 20mm calibrated slabs are specified for pedestrian patio and pathway use only. Driveway applications require a minimum 40mm slab thickness with a reinforced sub base designed for vehicle loading. See our driveway paving collection for correctly rated products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eHow do I clean Kandla Grey sandstone paving?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eRegular sweeping and an occasional wash down with clean water and a stiff brush is sufficient for routine maintenance. For moss, algae or organic staining, a proprietary patio cleaner applied with a brush and rinsed off is effective. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on joints as this damages jointing compound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between Kandla Grey and other Indian sandstone colours?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eKandla Grey is characterised by its cool silver-grey palette with blue undertones — it is one of the cooler, more neutral Indian sandstone options. Other popular variants include Raj Green, which has a warm green-grey tone, Autumn Brown with warm russet and orange tones, and Fossil Mint with a lighter cream-grey appearance. Kandla Grey suits contemporary and traditional gardens equally and is the most versatile colour for pairing with modern architecture and grey brick or render elevations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paving and Slabs","offers":[{"title":"Kandla Grey Indian Sandstone (33 Slabs - 600mm x 900mm Pack 22mm - 17.82 m²)","offer_id":47020348539134,"sku":"KG-SANDSTONE-01","price":449.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/3647\/5134\/files\/kandla_grey_indian_sandstone.jpg?v=1780576366"},{"product_id":"kandla-grey-porcelain-edging-setts","title":"Kandla Grey Porcelain Edging Setts 20 mm","description":"\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What are Kandla Grey edging setts used for?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"They are used to create structural borders and visual separation margins around patios, pathways, lawns, and driveways.

The near-zero water absorption rate means moisture cannot penetrate the surface, which directly eliminates the freeze-thaw damage cycle that progressively affects more porous paving materials through the UK's winter frost cycles. Frost resistance is inherent to the material structure rather than dependent on a sealer coat remaining intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe stain-resistant and algae-resistant surface means that organic matter, garden debris, and the general soiling that accumulates on outdoor surfaces through autumn and winter sit on the tile rather than embedding within it. Annual pressure washing is sufficient to restore the surface to its original appearance, making these slabs a genuinely low-maintenance choice for family gardens, busy households, and rental properties where consistent upkeep cannot always be guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe R11 slip resistance rating provides reliable traction on wet surfaces across all seasons. The surface texture channels water away from underfoot contact points, maintaining safe grip on patios, terraces, and walkways in the wet conditions that UK outdoor spaces regularly experience. For shaded north-facing gardens, covered outdoor dining areas, or spaces that dry slowly after rain, R11 is the appropriate and practical specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesign Appeal and Versatility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grey stone-effect finish of Kandla Grey Porcelain occupies a particularly useful position in the design palette. It carries the warmth and natural character of Indian sandstone while remaining cool and neutral enough to work with a wide range of complementary materials. Against dark timber, anthracite furniture, or rendered boundary walls, the grey tones provide a grounded, composed base that allows other design elements to read clearly. Against lighter planting, pale gravel, or white render, the mid-grey surface creates soft contrast that feels natural rather than forced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mixed-size pack format adds another dimension of design flexibility. Random-pattern layouts using multiple slab sizes create a surface with genuine visual depth that single-size grids cannot match.

Porcelain should never be spot-bedded, as hollow sections beneath the slab create stress points that crack under foot traffic regardless of slab quality.

The Manchester Midnight slabs replicate the elegance of natural stone while delivering superior strength and weather resistance. Their subtle stone-effect surface creates depth and texture while maintaining the clean, minimalist appearance that many contemporary garden designs require.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause these slabs are vitrified during the manufacturing process, they have an extremely dense structure that prevents water absorption. This makes them highly resistant to algae, frost damage, and colour fading. For homeowners who want a patio that looks immaculate year after year with minimal maintenance, porcelain paving is one of the most reliable options available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep grey tone of Manchester Midnight works particularly well with modern landscaping trends that favour darker paving combined with light render, timber fencing, or contemporary garden structures. The result is a balanced outdoor space that feels both luxurious and practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesign Versatility for Modern Landscapes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the key advantages of Manchester Midnight porcelain slabs is their versatility in landscape design. The darker shade creates an elegant backdrop for a wide range of garden styles, from minimalist urban courtyards to large contemporary outdoor living spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMany homeowners use darker paving to create visual contrast within their garden layouts. When paired with lighter paving, natural stone borders, or decorative cladding, these slabs help define zones such as dining areas, pathways, or outdoor lounges. Landscapers frequently recommend darker paving for modern gardens because it highlights surrounding planting schemes and architectural elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 900x600 format also provides flexibility in installation patterns. Whether laid in a linear grid layout or staggered design, these slabs create a spacious and cohesive look that enhances the visual flow of outdoor areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDurability Designed for the UK Climate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutdoor paving in the UK must withstand challenging weather conditions throughout the year. From heavy rainfall and winter frost to seasonal temperature changes, paving materials must be able to handle constant environmental exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe vitrified porcelain used in Manchester Midnight slabs ensures extremely low water absorption. This is particularly important in colder months when moisture can freeze and expand in porous materials. Because porcelain is almost completely non-porous, it significantly reduces the risk of cracking, staining, and structural deterioration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe R11 slip resistance rating also makes these slabs suitable for areas that frequently become wet, such as garden patios, pool surrounds, and outdoor entertaining spaces. This added safety makes porcelain paving a popular option for family gardens and high-traffic outdoor areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLow Maintenance Outdoor Living\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHomeowners increasingly prefer outdoor materials that require minimal maintenance while maintaining their appearance over time. Manchester Midnight porcelain slabs are specifically designed to deliver this convenience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dense porcelain surface prevents dirt, moisture, and organic material from penetrating the slab. As a result, routine maintenance typically involves nothing more than occasional washing with water or mild cleaning solutions. This makes porcelain paving particularly attractive for busy households or landlords looking to maintain attractive outdoor areas without frequent upkeep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor practical maintenance advice, homeowners can also refer to our guide on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pavingandslabs.co.uk\/blogs\/latest-news\/how-to-clean-and-maintain-paving-slabs-long-lasting-patio-tips\"\u003ehow to clean and maintain paving slabs\u003c\/a\u003e, which explains simple techniques for keeping patios looking fresh for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCombining Porcelain with Natural Stone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile porcelain paving offers a sleek and modern aesthetic, many landscaping designs also incorporate natural stone to add texture and character.

In practical terms for UK outdoor use, this means moisture cannot penetrate the slab surface, the freeze-thaw damage cycle that progressively weakens more porous paving materials through winter is simply not possible, and the slab retains its structural integrity and surface finish across many years of outdoor exposure without intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe UK's climate imposes specific demands on outdoor paving that softer climates do not. Repeated wet-dry cycles through autumn, sustained damp through winter, frost between November and March, and occasional summer heat all test paving materials in different ways across a single year. Kandla Grey Porcelain handles each of these conditions through the same fundamental material property: a surface so dense that external conditions cannot penetrate or degrade it from within. No sealer is required because the protection is built into the material itself rather than applied to the surface of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe R11 slip resistance rating provides reliable underfoot grip in wet conditions, which matters particularly for north-facing or shaded patio areas that remain damp for extended periods after rain. The surface texture channels water away from contact points without sacrificing the refined stone-effect appearance, making these slabs as practical for a family patio with children as they are for a carefully designed entertaining terrace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStain and algae resistance are further consequences of the non-porous surface. Organic matter, food and drink spillage, leaf tannins, and garden soiling sit on the surface rather than embedding within it. Annual pressure washing consistently restores the finish without specialist cleaning products, making this a realistic low-maintenance choice for households where consistent upkeep cannot always be prioritised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesign Character and Scheme Integration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kandla Grey stone-effect finish sits in the mid-grey range with the warmth and tonal variation of natural sandstone rather than the cooler, more uniform character of concrete or engineered stone. This warmth gives Kandla Grey Porcelain broader design compatibility than colder grey alternatives, working comfortably alongside brick, natural timber, warm render, and planted borders as well as the anthracite joinery and dark furniture pairings that characterise contemporary garden design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCreative Structural Pairings \u0026amp; Contrast Accents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo establish architectural definition or zoned spaces across your garden project, connect the Kandla Grey footprint with matching selections from across our store catalogues:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft Tonal Interplays:\u003c\/strong\u003e For schemes that incorporate tonal contrast, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pavingandslabs.co.uk\/products\/leeds-ash-porcelain-paving-slabs-900-600\"\u003eLeeds Ash Porcelain Paving Slabs\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pavingandslabs.co.uk\/products\/norfolk-white-porcelain-paving-slabs\"\u003eNorfolk White Porcelain Paving Slabs\u003c\/a\u003e both provide lighter counterpoints within the same porcelain format and can be used alongside Kandla Grey for feature zones, step surfaces, or secondary pathway areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep Border Framing:\u003c\/strong\u003e For deeper contrast and bolder design statements, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pavingandslabs.co.uk\/products\/manchester-midnight-porcelain-paving-slabs-900-600\"\u003eManchester Midnight Porcelain Paving Slabs\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pavingandslabs.co.uk\/products\/newcastle-black-porcelain-paving-slabs\"\u003eNewcastle Black Porcelain Paving Slabs\u003c\/a\u003e sit at the darker end of the porcelain palette and can be used for border definition or feature strips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRiven Material Variation:\u003c\/strong\u003e For those who want to incorporate genuine natural stone texture alongside porcelain, our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pavingandslabs.co.uk\/collections\/indian-sandstone\"\u003eIndian Sandstone Collection\u003c\/a\u003e includes \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pavingandslabs.co.uk\/products\/kandla-grey-indian-sandstone\"\u003eKandla Grey Indian Sandstone\u003c\/a\u003e in the same tonal family, creating visual coherence while introducing natural textural variety.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVertical Transitions:\u003c\/strong\u003e To extend the grey palette vertically onto boundary walls, raised beds, or garden structures, our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pavingandslabs.co.uk\/collections\/porcelain-claddings\"\u003ePorcelain Claddings\u003c\/a\u003e range includes the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pavingandslabs.co.uk\/products\/london-crema-600x150-porcelain-wall-cladding\"\u003eLondon Crema 600x150 Wall Cladding\u003c\/a\u003e, which carries the natural stone aesthetic upward.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerimeter Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pathway edges and border transitions can be completed with our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pavingandslabs.co.uk\/collections\/cobblestones\"\u003eCobblestones Collection\u003c\/a\u003e for considered ground-level detailing.

These slabs must be laid on a full continuous mortar bed over a properly compacted sub-base. Spot-bedding is not appropriate for porcelain under any circumstances, as hollow sections beneath the slab create stress concentration points that will crack under foot traffic regardless of slab quality or thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePrepare a sub-base of compacted MOT Type 1 to a minimum depth of 100 to 150mm for standard residential patio use on stable ground. On clay-heavy soils, which are common across much of the UK's residential areas and can exhibit significant seasonal movement, a sub-base depth of 150 to 200mm is advisable to provide adequate bearing and reduce the risk of surface displacement over time. Apply a porcelain slurry primer to the back of each slab before laying to improve adhesion between the tile and mortar bed. Maintain a consistent joint spacing of 3 to 5mm and finish with a high-quality flexible porcelain grout once the mortar bed has cured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA drainage fall of 1 in 80 away from the property should be incorporated into the laying level to manage surface water effectively and prevent ponding against the building.

Kandla Grey Porcelain is manufactured from vitrified porcelain with near-zero water absorption, making it fully frost-proof and resistant to the wet-dry cycles, sustained damp, and freeze-thaw conditions that UK outdoor surfaces experience across the seasons. The material properties that deliver this performance are inherent to the porcelain construction rather than dependent on surface treatments, so the frost and moisture resistance does not degrade over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch4\u003eDo Kandla Grey Porcelain Paving Slabs require sealing?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNo. Vitrified porcelain does not require sealing at any stage. The non-porous surface inherently resists moisture, staining, algae, and frost damage without additional treatment. This is a significant practical advantage over natural Kandla Grey sandstone, which requires an impregnating sealer at installation and periodic resealing every two to three years to maintain adequate protection. With porcelain, there is no sealing cost, no reapplication schedule, and no risk of the surface being under-protected between treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eAre Kandla Grey Porcelain slabs slippery when wet?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNo. These slabs carry an R11 slip resistance rating, which is the minimum recommended outdoor specification for domestic paving in the UK. The surface texture provides reliable traction in wet conditions across patios, terraces, and garden pathways, including on shaded or north-facing surfaces that remain damp for extended periods after rainfall. The R11 rating applies across the full lifespan of the tile and does not reduce with wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eCan Kandla Grey Porcelain slabs be cut to size on site?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes. Porcelain can be cut to size using a water-fed diamond blade porcelain cutter. The harder, denser composition of vitrified porcelain requires the water cooling and blade specification of a dedicated tile saw to achieve clean, chip-free cuts. A standard angle grinder is not recommended for porcelain cutting and is likely to result in chipped or fractured edges that compromise both the appearance and the structural integrity of the cut slab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eHow should Kandla Grey Porcelain Paving Slabs be installed?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThese slabs must be laid on a full continuous mortar bed over a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base. Spot-bedding must be avoided, as hollow voids beneath the slab will crack under foot traffic. Apply a porcelain slurry primer to the back of each slab before laying to ensure good adhesion with the mortar bed. Maintain a joint spacing of 3 to 5mm and finish with a flexible porcelain grout once the mortar has cured. Incorporate a drainage fall of 1 in 80 away from the building. Our full Porcelain Paving Installation Guide covers every stage of the process in detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eHow do I maintain Kandla Grey Porcelain Paving long-term?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eAnnual pressure washing is sufficient for routine maintenance. The non-porous surface means dirt and organic deposits do not embed in the tile texture, so pressure washing consistently restores the finish without specialist cleaning products. Inspect jointing annually and replace any sections that have washed out or cracked, as open joints allow moisture and weed growth to penetrate the bedding layer. No sealing, no specialist treatments, and no periodic reapplication of surface products are required at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paving and Slabs","offers":[{"title":"Kandla Grey Porcelain Paving Slabs 900x600x20 MM (40 Pcs\/21.6 SQM)","offer_id":47020355944702,"sku":"PS-15","price":449.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kandla Grey Patio Slabs 20 MM (72 Pcs\/21.06 SQM)","offer_id":47020356010238,"sku":"PS-25","price":449.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kandla Grey Porcelain Paving Slabs 600x600x20 MM (60 Pcs\/21.6 SQM)","offer_id":47020356043006,"sku":"PS-26","price":449.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/3647\/5134\/files\/kandla-grey-porcelain-paving-slab.jpg?v=1757077311"},{"product_id":"shadow-grey-porcelain-paving-slabs","title":"Shadow Grey Porcelain Paving Slabs 900x600x20 MM (21.6 SQM, 40 Slabs Per Pack)","description":"\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n[\n  {\n    \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n    \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n    \"mainEntity\": [\n      {\n        \"@type\": \"Question\",\n        \"name\": \"Are Shadow Grey porcelain paving slabs suitable for the UK climate?\",\n        \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n          \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n          \"text\": \"Yes.

Individual setts should be placed onto a **full continuous wet mortar bedding layer**. Never utilize loose sand beds or spot-bedding for vehicular paths, as unsupported voids trap groundwater, causing stone movement and fracturing during winter freeze-thaw cycles.

Kandla Grey sandstone develops a subtle patina over time that enhances its appearance, while concrete blocks can fade and look increasingly uniform with age. For period and traditional properties in particular, natural stone setts are a far more architecturally sympathetic choice. On comparable installations, natural stone also holds its value better as a premium material choice.

Point the boundaries using an exterior-grade natural stone jointing compound or resin mortar to actively prevent weed growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOngoing maintenance is minimal due to the high density and low porosity of natural granite stone. Periodically brush away loose garden debris and clean the area with an annual pressure wash to keep moss and algae at bay.

This causes the surface granules to burst, leaving a beautifully textured, high-friction face that provides outstanding slip resistance during wet and icy UK winter weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch4\u003eAre black granite cobbles suitable for driveways?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes. Granite is an exceptionally hard and dense natural stone. When laid over a compacted MOT Type 1 aggregate base and fixed into a full, continuous wet mortar bed, these 2CM calibrated cobbles provide a durable, load-bearing surface for domestic vehicular driveways and edging borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eHow many square metres does one pallet cover?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOne pallet of Black Granite Cobbles 100x100 2CM covers approximately 10 to 12 square metres when laid with standard 10mm joints. We recommend adding a 10% wastage allowance to your measured area, particularly for projects with curved edges or angled cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eDo black granite cobbles need to be sealed?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSealing is recommended but not mandatory. A natural stone impregnating sealer will enhance the depth of black colour and protect against staining from oil, moss and garden use. Unlike porcelain paving which never requires sealing, natural granite benefits from sealing in high-use or exposed outdoor areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between machine cut and hand-split cobbles?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eMachine-cut cobbles feature precise, dimensionally uniform edges that ensure rapid installation, flat bedding, and perfectly straight joint lines.

Avoid using loose sand beds or spot-bedding methods for vehicle paths, as trapped water can shift individual setts during winter freeze-thaw cycles. Point the boundaries using an exterior-grade natural stone jointing compound or resin mortar to actively prevent weed growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOngoing maintenance is minimal due to the high density and low porosity of natural granite stone. Periodically brush away loose garden debris and clean the area with an annual pressure wash to keep moss and algae at bay. Applying an impregnating stone sealer after installation is highly recommended to protect the stone against oil drips and enhance the depth of its black colorway.

The 100x100mm format is a traditional square block ideal for tight border edging and grid layouts. Both formats feature a matching flamed finish and 2CM depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch4\u003eAre 200x100 black granite cobbles suitable for driveways?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes. Granite is an exceptionally hard and dense natural stone. When laid over a compacted MOT Type 1 aggregate base and fixed into a full, continuous wet mortar bed, these 2CM calibrated cobbles provide a durable, load-bearing surface for domestic vehicular driveways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eWhat is a flamed finish on granite cobbles?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA flamed finish is created by exposing the natural stone surface to high-intensity heat. This causes the surface granules to burst, leaving a beautifully textured, high-friction face that provides outstanding slip resistance during wet and icy UK winter weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eDo black granite cobbles need to be sealed?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSealing is recommended but not mandatory. A natural stone impregnating sealer will enhance the depth of black colour and protect against staining from oil, moss and garden use. Unlike porcelain paving which never requires sealing, natural granite is a slightly porous material that benefits from sealing in high-use or exposed outdoor areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eWhat laying patterns work best with 200x100mm cobbles?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe most popular patterns are herringbone (45° or 90°), stretcher bond and stack bond. Herringbone is the most structurally stable option for driveways and high-traffic areas. Stretcher bond is the fastest to lay on large areas. Stack bond gives the most contemporary, architectural finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eDo you deliver to Bicester and Oxfordshire?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.

Individual setts must be set into a **full continuous wet mortar bed** (typically a 4:1 sharp sand to cement mix). Avoid laying cobbles on loose soil or spot-bedding, as unbacked voids will collapse under tire loads. Joint profiles should be packed tightly using a high-density brush-in jointing compound or mortar to block weed growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOngoing maintenance is very straightforward. Because sandstone is a natural material, it beautifully develops a soft weathered character, but it benefits from routine sweeping to clear damp leaves. We highly recommend applying a quality impregnating stone sealer after installation to reduce porosity, protect against winter frost damage, and repel oil spills.

It is quarried and hand-dressed in India and widely used in UK driveways, gardens and landscaping projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch4\u003eWhat size are the Raj Green cobbles?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOur Raj Green cobbles measure approximately 200mm long x 100mm wide x 40–60mm deep. The depth range reflects natural stone variation, which adds to the authentic handmade character of the finished installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eCan Raj Green cobbles be used on a driveway?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes. At 40–60mm depth, Raj Green cobblestones are suitable for domestic driveways when installed on a correctly compacted MOT Type 1 sub base with a semi-dry mortar bed. Ensure you use a suitable edge restraint to prevent lateral spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eDo Raj Green cobblestones need sealing?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSealing is strongly recommended for all natural Indian sandstone including Raj Green cobbles. An impregnating sealer protects against oil staining, frost damage, moss and algae growth, and helps maintain the stone's colour over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eHow many Raj Green cobbles do I need per square metre?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eAt 200x100mm per piece, you will need approximately 50 cobbles per square metre before accounting for jointing gaps. We recommend ordering 10% extra to allow for cuts and wastage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eDo you deliver Raj Green cobblestones across the UK?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes. We deliver palletised Raj Green cobblestones to all mainland UK postcodes via trusted haulage partners. Contact us for delivery lead times and bulk order pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eCan Raj Green cobbles be used with Indian sandstone slabs?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eAbsolutely. Raj Green cobbles pair beautifully with Raj Green Indian sandstone paving slabs, creating a cohesive, high-end natural stone scheme. Using matching cobbles as borders around larger slabs is a popular design choice in UK landscaping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eWhat patterns can I lay Raj Green cobbles in?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eCommon laying patterns for 200x100mm cobbles include herringbone, stretcher bond, stack bond and circular fan patterns. Herringbone is particularly popular for driveways as it distributes load effectively and resists movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paving and Slabs","offers":[{"title":"Raj Green Cobblestone Pack 200x100 40-60 mm (400 Pcs\/8-9 SQM)","offer_id":47987755679998,"sku":"PS-KG-COBBLE-02","price":429.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/3647\/5134\/files\/Cobble_driveway_on_luxury_house_202606041754.jpg?v=1780576367"},{"product_id":"raj-green-cobblestone-100x100x40-60-mm","title":"Raj Green Cobblestone 100x100x40-60 mm (800 Pcs\/ 8-9 SQM)","description":"\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n[\n  {\n    \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/\",\n    \"@type\": \"Product\",\n    \"name\": \"Raj Green Square Cobblestone 100x100x40-60mm\",\n    \"image\": [\n      \"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/3647\/5134\/files\/Raj-Green-Cobblestone.jpg?v=1774257708\"\n    ],\n    \"description\": \"Premium Raj Green Square Indian Sandstone Cobblestones.

Individual setts should be placed onto a **full continuous wet mortar bed** (typically mixed at a 4:1 ratio using sharp sand and cement). Never install these small units over uncompacted soil or loose sand beds for driveways, and always integrate rigid concrete kerb edging to prevent lateral sliding. Joint profiles should be filled using a robust, highly stable jointing mortar or polymeric compound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOngoing maintenance is very straightforward due to the durable mineral structure of Indian sandstone. Periodically sweep the surface to remove damp, decomposing leaves and wash the stone down once or twice a year with clean water or a mild outdoor masonry wash. We strongly recommend applying a breathable, high-performance impregnating stone sealer following installation to significantly reduce core staining from oil leaks and prevent surface moss growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-top: 1px solid #ddd; margin-top: 30px; padding-top: 20px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eTechnical Data Matrix \u0026amp; Structural Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse;\"\u003e\n        \u003ctbody\u003e\n            \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; font-weight: bold; background-color: #fafafa; width: 30%;\"\u003eProduct Specification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eNatural Square Stone Sett \/ Driveway Block \/ Patio Perimeter Edging\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e\n            \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; font-weight: bold; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eDimensional Grid Sizing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e100mm x 100mm Plan Profile (Nominal Sizing)\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e\n            \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; font-weight: bold; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eThickness Calibration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e40mm – 60mm (Natural Riven Hand-Cropped Core Depth)\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e\n            \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; font-weight: bold; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eMaterial Integrity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003ePremium Raj Green Indian Sandstone Slabs Matrix\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e\n            \u003ctr\u003e\n                \u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; font-weight: bold; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eLogistics Tracking\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eSecure Palletised Delivery Across All Mainland UK Postcodes\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n    \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-section\"\u003e\n    \u003ch4\u003eWhat is a Raj Green square cobble sett?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA Raj Green square cobble sett is a natural Indian sandstone paving unit measuring 100x100mm in plan with a depth of 40–60mm. The square format and riven surface make it ideal for driveways, paths, patios and decorative garden features across the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch4\u003eHow does the 100x100mm cobble differ from the 200x100mm cobblestone?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe 100x100mm square sett creates a finer, more intricate surface texture compared to the larger 200x100mm rectangular cobblestone. The square format suits formal and symmetrical layouts, feature areas and projects where a refined, balanced grid appearance is desired. The 200x100mm format lays faster and reads as a more elongated, directional pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eHow many 100x100mm cobbles do I need per square metre?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYou will need approximately 100 cobble setts per square metre before allowing for jointing gaps of 5–10mm. Always order a minimum of 10% extra to account for cuts, breakages and wastage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eAre Raj Green square cobbles suitable for driveways?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes. At 40–60mm depth, Raj Green 100x100mm cobble setts are structurally suitable for domestic driveways when installed correctly on a compacted MOT Type 1 sub base with a semi-dry mortar bed. Use a firm edge restraint such as a kerb or haunched edging to prevent lateral spread under vehicle loading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eDo Raj Green cobble setts need sealing?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSealing is strongly recommended for all natural Indian sandstone including Raj Green cobbles. A penetrating impregnating sealer protects against oil, fuel, frost damage, moss and algae while enhancing and preserving the stone's natural colour. Seal after installation once the jointing mortar has fully cured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eWhat jointing compound should I use between 100x100mm cobbles?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFor most applications, a brush-in kiln-dried jointing sand or a proprietary polymeric jointing compound is suitable. For driveways and areas subject to vehicle loading, a semi-dry mortar joint (3:1 sharp sand to cement) brushed in and gently compacted provides greater stability and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eCan I mix Raj Green square cobbles with Raj Green paving slabs?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes — mixing 100x100mm Raj Green cobble setts with larger format Raj Green Indian sandstone slabs is a very popular design choice. Using cobbles as borders, infill bands or feature panels around larger slabs creates a layered, high-end natural stone scheme with excellent visual interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eDo you deliver Raj Green 100x100mm cobbles across the UK?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.

The square format is particularly well suited to circular feature installations as equal-sided setts cut more cleanly to radius than rectangular formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paving and Slabs","offers":[{"title":"Raj Green Cobblestone Pack 100x100 40-60 mm (800 Pcs\/ 8-9 SQM)","offer_id":47987832324350,"sku":"PS-KG-COBBLE-02","price":429.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/3647\/5134\/files\/Cobble_driveway_on_luxury_house_202606041800.jpg?v=1780576367"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/3647\/5134\/collections\/kandla-grey-porcelain-edging-setts.jpg?v=1770294312","url":"https:\/\/pavingandslabs.co.uk\/collections\/grey-paving-stones.oembed?page=2","provider":"Paving and Slabs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
