Installing Patio Slabs Correctly
Proper installation guarantees long-term durability and prevents slab movement or water pooling. Laying your patio on a full MOT Type 1 compacted sub-base with a full wet mortar bedding layer ensures optimal support.
Maintaining Your Garden Patio Slabs
Routine care keeps your patio looking fresh year-round. Sweep away loose leaves regularly and clean the surface occasionally with warm soapy water or a light jet wash to prevent algae build-up.

Frequently Asked Questions About Patio Slabs
What is the difference between porcelain and natural stone patio slabs?
Porcelain patio slabs are non-porous, engineered tiles with uniform sizing and high stain resistance that never require sealing. Natural stone slabs (like sandstone or limestone) offer unique organic color variations and natural textures that age gracefully over time.
What thickness should patio slabs be for garden use?
For standard garden patios and pedestrian pathways, 20mm vitrified porcelain slabs or 22mm calibrated natural stone slabs provide ideal strength and structural integrity.
Do patio slabs need to be laid on mortar?
Yes, laying outdoor patio slabs on a full, wet mortar bed (rather than spot dabs) ensures complete support under the entire slab, preventing cracking, water pooling, and loose pavers over time.
Are patio slabs slip-resistant in wet UK weather?
Yes, all outdoor patio slabs supplied by Stone Footing Ltd feature textured surface finishes (such as R11 anti-slip ratings for porcelain or natural riven/sawn finishes for stone) to ensure safe grip underfoot during wet weather.
