Product Overview 

Black slate paving slabs in our 900x600 format - the firm favourite especially for customers with larger areas to cover, less joint lines, faster installation suits larger projects and by far this is the most popular size when areas to be covered are around the 50m2 and above mark.  If you like the large format of these slabs, you will not be disappointed. It has all the features like the smaller format slabs i.e. calibrated 20mm (nominal), with crisp sawn edges and a gentle textured riven surface - just bigger in size and definitely will give you the wow factor, without breaking the bank

This may need to be laid over a sub-base (strengthening layer) of crushed stone or hardcore.

We don’t prescribe a solution per se as contractors may alter these according to project needs but as a guide its typically installed on full bed of mortar sometimes referred to as individual bedding. The mortar bed is laid on top of compacted hard core (MOT) which can range from 100mm to 150mm on average.

Please always seek advice from a professional contractor as our notes are simply to serve as a general guide and are not project specific.
