Rustic Slate Paving

Rustic Slate Paving Slabs are a completely unique paving stone, and are guaranteed to create a completely individual garden patio.

Consisting of bronze, brown and copper colours, this outdoor paving has a wonderfully unique 'rusted' look to it,

To ensure consistent quality and strong durability, this paving range has been calibrated to 22mm thickness.

We pride ourselves on offering the most competitive prices to our customers; we source all our Sandstone and Limestone Paving directly from our reliable Indian suppliers.

As these paving slabs are quarried naturally, therefore the colours will vary slightly in tone. These patio slabs will also naturally weather and change colour over time as well. 

Alongside the Rustic, we also supply Black Slate Paving and Grey Slate Paving, which are ideal if you want a more monochromatic, subtle look for your garden.

Benefits of Slate Paving

• Low maintenance
• Range of classic colours
• Creates a natural, yet modern garden finish
• Calibrated for size consistency
• Hard-wearing and highly porous
• R11 non-skid value

Rustic Slate Paving For Your Garden

Complete with stunning, copper-coloured patterns, this paving looks effective within period properties and has been used in courtyard areas for wedding venues, cafes and more!

As well as garden paving, this paving stone has also been used as indoor flooring in country houses.  

If you are looking for a Porcelain alternative to the natural Rustic slate, make sure to check out our 'Natural' Rustic Slate Porcelain Paving. Our new 'Natural' range has been specifically designed to perfectly mimic the look and feel of Natural Sandstone, Limestone and Slate paving slabs; so this way you can have a more authentic-looking patio with the added modern benefits of Porcelain slabs.

What is the Difference Between Slate Paving and Sandstone Paving?

There are similarities between Slate and Sandstone, due to their natural origins; being quarried in India. This means they share similar attributes such as unique colours, a riven surface and long-lasting qualities.

However, they differ in the sense that Slate Paving is a different type of natural stone from Sandstone and Limestone. Where Sandstone and Limestone are sedimentary stones that are formed in grains, they are slightly more brittle than Slate. Slate stones, however, are metamorphic stones that have been formed in layers, making them stronger and less porous. 

Slate will not fade in colour as much as Limestone paving will, especially if you opt for a darker colour. It is a highly durable material to use for indoor flooring and outdoor paving with heavy use and will last a very long time.

Slate Paving must be laid by a professional and sealed by a professional. Due to the stone being formed in layers, the paving slabs may flake off in extreme weather.

What is 'Slate' Paving?

These slate paver stones are part of our Premium Sandstone Collection. This is because our Slate Paving has been manufactured to an incredibly high standard; being machine cut to achieve smooth, clean cuts of paving around the edges.  

This stone will have a riven surface on the top of the paving, which really enhances the colours, especially when wet. The surface is riven because of the 'splitting' process that is undergone to cut the slab from the stone. 

Looking After Your Paving

Slate Paving is a big investment, so you'll want to protect it and prolong the exquisite colour for as long as you can! To protect and enhance the rust colours, we recommend using Azpects Easy Seal Slate & Limestone. 

This will give your paving the ultimate protection against natural weathering and discolouration when laid in the sun. It also adds an element of stain protection.

It's also best to jet wash or hose down your paving (if laid outside) every 6 months to keep it free of debris and leaves.
