Kandla Grey Smooth Sandstone 900x400x40 Bullnose Steps

The Kandla Grey Sandstone Smooth Paving Bullnose Pack is simple to install, and you can arrange the steps in many different ways to make your outdoor area look special. The stones have different colors and textures that make them interesting. They feel nice to walk on without shoes because they're smooth. This pack comes with bullnose pieces that are great for making steps, edges around pools, and other raised parts. The bullnose pieces have rounded edges, so it's easy to move between different parts of your outdoor area. The size of the paving stones is good for making a big, smooth area, and there are enough pieces to cover about 6.5 square meters. Since the stones are made from natural sandstone, they can handle different weather and last a long time.

• Colour / Pattern - Natural sedimentary patterned stone characterised by rosy brown, tan, sienna and grey colour variations

• Planning is Key: A solid plan is crucial for a successful paving project. Ensure adequate drainage to make your project safe and long-lasting.
• Preparation: Mark out the area and excavate accordingly. For foot traffic, a 100-150mm layer of crushed hardcore is generally sufficient, while driveways or areas with wet soil may require up to 200mm. Domestic driveways typically need excavation to a depth of 200-250mm. Extend the excavation by 150-200mm beyond the boundaries to allow space for edge restraints.
• Sub-Base: Lay a suitable sub-base, such as crushed hardcore, extending beyond the paving stones for added stability. Compact this layer using a vibrating compaction plate (Wacker Plate) for a firm foundation.
• Mortar Bed: Once the sub-base is compacted, apply a wet bed of concrete mortar in a 4:1 ratio of washed sharp sand to cement. Aim for a laying course of 35-50mm.
• Full-Bed Support: All paving stones should be laid on a full bed of concrete to support the entire stone. Avoid spot bedding, as it can cause instability. Be sure to clean off any cement stains immediately to prevent marking, and do not use acid-based cleaners.
• Laying Stones: Carefully position each paving stone on the mortar and tap into place with a rubber mallet, leaving adequate joints. Continue laying in your chosen pattern.
• Driveways: For driveways, compact the sub-base and build edge restraints using kerbs or blocks set on a concrete bed to provide stability.
• Curing and Jointing: Allow 48 hours for the slabs to cure before proceeding. Use an industry-standard jointing compound to fill the joints. This can be sourced from local builders' merchants or on our website. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when using jointing compounds.
• Laying Circles: When laying circular patterns, start with the centre stone and work outwards. If incorporating a circle into a larger patio, always lay the circle first.
