Batch information

Porcelain paving is a man-made product crafted in batches and may exhibit variations in colour and texture from batch to batch. This potential variance means that the porcelain you receive upon ordering may differ slightly from the samples sent, or our showroom displays viewed before making your purchase. To maintain product consistency, we advise against combining different sizes as these will inevitably be different batch codes. It is industry standard to allow an additional 10% on all orders.

Should you have any concerns about these variations, please reach out to our sales team for personalised guidance. We recommend keeping note of the โ€˜batch colour codeโ€™ labelled on the packaging of the delivered porcelain. This is a white label of the side of the pallet and also the packing of each individual slab.

While we strive to source the same batch for future orders, this isnโ€™t guaranteed. Therefore, we encourage ordering sufficient quantities initially to maintain uniformity in your project.

We offer split packs on selected paving products, including natural stone paving (sandstone, Limestone, slate, granite) and our best-selling 600×900 porcelain paving. This allows you to order the exact square metre coverage you need, helping you avoid the cost and waste of buying a full pack.

This option is ideal forย smaller projects, patios, pathways, or topping up an existing order.

Please note:

  • Split packs are available onย selected products only
  • Mixed-size porcelain paving packs cannot be split
  • Delivery is included in the product price

How we calculate packs/slabs:

Slab quantities are calculated to the nearest match for the square meterage ordered and may be rounded up where required. Mixed-size packs will contain all 4 slab sizes.

Description

Autumn Brown Indian sandstone 4m paving circle creates a natural feature for patios, paths and garden seating areas. Its colour palette includes warm brown, buff, rust and golden tones. The riven stone surface adds texture, and individual pieces vary in shade and markings.

Autumn Brown 4m paving circle details

  • Nominal circle diameter: 4 metres.
  • Approximate circular footprint: 12.57mยฒ; this is not the advertised pack coverage.
  • Natural Indian sandstone with a riven finish.
  • Check the current listing for the supplied pieces, nominal thickness and joint allowance.
  • Square-off kit is not included.

Colour variation and layout

Natural sandstone varies from piece to piece and can look richer when wet than when dry. Set out the whole circle before fixing the segments so the colour variation is spread across the pattern. Product photographs illustrate the appearance, but segment arrangements may differ. Request a laying guide if needed.

Planning your sandstone circle

Mark out the diameter and allow room for surrounding paving, borders and seating. Check the layout and pack details before calculating any extra slabs or cutting requirements. Use suitable foundations, bedding and jointing for natural stone paving.

For cleaning or sealing, choose products compatible with sandstone and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Test any sealer on a small area first.

Planning your Autumn Brown 4m paving circle

A nominal 4m diameter circle has a geometric footprint of approximately 12.57mยฒ. This describes the circular shape, not a square patio or the supplied pack coverage. Use the supplied layout and stated joint allowance to confirm the final set-out.

Mark the complete circle in position before preparing the surrounding paving. Allow space for seating, a connecting path and any adjoining border. Check the listing for the supplied components; surrounding slabs and a squaring-off kit should only be included in your plan if expressly listed.

Compare a sample before ordering

Select the Autumn Brown sample. Use the sample to judge the stone colour and texture, alongside the circle photographs and layout. It does not represent the complete circle, every natural marking or an exact colour match between separate products.

Compare coordinating products and formats

Compare the options below for adjoining paving or a different layout. Check the individual thickness, finish and specifications; a shared colour name does not guarantee an exact match.

Installation

Installation advice

To ensure your project runs smoothly, there are several important considerations to keep in mind when your paving arrives and during its installation.

When your paving order arrives, itโ€™s normal for the slabs to appear dusty and grey. Natural Indian Sandstone is typically very pale and pastel in tone, which can make it look dull and grey, unlike the pictures you see on our website. Donโ€™t worry; this is perfectly normal! To better identify the colours, we recommend wetting down the surface of the slabs before installation. This will enhance the colour variation and help you see the different tones, allowing you to create a more even colour palette throughout your paving area.

 

Each crate of slabs is randomly selected and may not contain an even colour distribution. Therefore, if you are ordering multiple pallets, we advise taking slabs from each pallet during installation for the best results. As sandstone is very porous, it will absorb moisture, and over time, the colours will become more vibrant.

 

Ordering natural stone for your project

We also recommend ordering all the paving for the same area at the same time, even if you plan to install it over an extended period. This ensures a good blend of colours. Natural stone is unique and not batch-coded, so any paving purchased later may not come from the same quarry or section of the quarry, leading to noticeable colour variations compared to your existing patio. If you are adding to an existing natural stone patio, please contact us and send us some images. We can help you find a suitable match.

Installing a natural stone paving circle is a fantastic way to create a visually striking focal point in your garden, patio, or courtyard. The process begins with careful planning of the layout. Determine the location and size of your circle, and mark the area using stakes, string, or a garden hose to outline the desired shape. For larger projects, creating a cardboard template or mock-up can help you visualise the final design and ensure accurate placement of each stone.

Preparing and laying the paving

A stable, well-prepared base is essential for a long-lasting sandstone paving circle. Excavate the area to a depth, depending on expected traffic. Spread a layer of compacted crushed stone or MOT Type 1 hardcore to provide stability. Over this, add a bedding layer of sharp sand or a sand-cement mix and level carefully. Itโ€™s important to slope the base slightly away from buildings to ensure proper drainage and prevent water pooling on the finished surface.

Before laying your sandstone circle, it is recommended to dry-lay the slabs to check the pattern, spacing, and alignment. When you are ready for installation, each slab should be coated on the underside with an SBR bonding agent or priming slurry. This step is essential for sandstone because it increases adhesion, prevents the slabs from lifting, and reduces the risk of natural salts rising through the stone, which can cause staining or discolouration.

Once primed, begin laying the circle from the centre outward, gently tapping each slab into place with a rubber mallet and checking levels frequently for a smooth, even finish. If cutting is required, always use a wet diamond-tipped cutter to achieve clean, precise edges.

Jointing the paving

After the slabs are securely laid, fill the joints using a natural stoneโ€“compatible jointing compound, resin grout, or kiln-dried sand, depending on your preferred finish. Brush off any excess material to avoid staining and allow the joints to set properly. For added protection, sealing your sandstone paving circle approximately 12 weeks after installation is highly recommended. This helps enrich the colour, reduce moisture absorption, and prevent the growth of moss, algae, and mould.

Maintaining a stone paving circle is simple and low-effort. Regular sweeping will prevent debris buildup, while occasional washing with warm water and a mild detergent will keep the stone looking fresh. Avoid acidic or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage natural stone. Over time, check the joints and reapply compound if needed to ensure long-term stability. By following these steps and using the correct installation materials like SBR, your sandstone paving circle will remain durable, secure, and visually stunning for many years.

Care & Maintenance

Protecting the stone during installation

Laying a patio can be messy, so itโ€™s crucial to take care when installing the slabs to avoid any staining, sheet down and board down where possible. If you notice any residue on the slabs during installation, clean it off as soon as possible. Substances like wet cement can be much harder to remove once they dry. Remember, anything that remains on the surface of a slab can seep into the stone and cause stains. Avoid using acid-based products for cleaning.

Natural stone is porous and will absorb liquids from anything left on its surface. Wet leaves, bird droppings, and moss can all create stains, and once these substances penetrate the stone, removing the stains can be very challenging.

Sealing sandstone paving

It is recommended to seal sandstone paving to help prevent staining. Sealing also prevents excess moisture from building up within the natural stone, which can help avoid frost damage as well as the growth of moss, mould, and algae. You should seal your paving approximately 12 weeks after installation to allow enough time for the drying process to complete. If sealing is done before six to nine months, only a breathable sealer should be used.

Efflorescence during drying

As part of the drying process, you may notice efflorescence, which is a white or light grey powdery substance that can appear on the surface of natural stone, especially in damp or humid conditions. This is caused by natural salts and minerals coming to the surface of the slabs. Although it may look unsightly, efflorescence will not affect the structural integrity of the stone. This process usually happens within the first three to six months.

Ongoing maintenance

Natural stone requires annual maintenance. Using specific natural stone cleaners and black spot removers can help prolong the life of your patio. Over time, you may need to grind out the joints and redo the jointing to refresh the appearance of the patio.
