What You're Getting – Shop Premium Quality
This is genuine Kandla Grey Indian sandstone in the practical 600x600mm square format with naturally riven finish – not manufactured grey tiles or smooth processed stone. You're getting authentic quarried sandstone with the sophisticated silver-grey palette and traditional textured finish that's made Kandla Grey Britain's bestselling natural stone paving for over a decade straight, just in a more manageable format.
The 600x600mm size represents genuine practical wisdom. This format covers ground efficiently with fewer joints than small formats while remaining light enough for comfortable single-person handling. Each slab weighs substantially less than the larger 900x600mm rectangles, which matters enormously during installation – less strain on your back, easier maneuvering through tight spaces, simpler positioning during laying.
The color? Absolutely stunning and remarkably versatile. Kandla Grey delivers soft silver-grey as the foundation, subtly enhanced with blue-grey undertones and occasional warmer grey accents in naturally harmonious variation. This isn't stark industrial grey – it's sophisticated tonal complexity that creates calm, elegant outdoor spaces with genuine natural stone character.
Some slabs lean predominantly toward cool silver-grey with subtle blue undertones. Others showcase warmer mid-grey tones with silver highlights. Many display gentle blends – silver backgrounds with blue shadows and warm grey accents creating sophisticated depth within individual pieces. This natural variation is what makes Kandla Grey work so effectively – enough consistency for cohesive layouts, sufficient variation to avoid monotony.
The square format brings specific design advantages beyond easier handling. Square slabs create clean geometric grids that read as intentionally ordered rather than randomly placed. The uniform proportions simplify pattern planning – straight grid layouts, diagonal patterns, running bond arrangements all work naturally with square formats. Less puzzle-solving during installation compared to mixed size packs.
The riven finish is what defines traditional natural stone paving. "Riven" means the surface has been split along natural geological planes during quarrying, creating authentic texture through layering formed over millions of years. This delivers undulating surface with natural peaks and valleys that change character throughout the day as shadows shift with sunlight angles.
This textured finish provides several practical advantages. The natural undulation creates excellent slip resistance – rain, frost, algae growth, the riven surface maintains safe footing throughout British weather. The texture also hides everyday dirt and minor imperfections far better than smooth finishes, meaning patios look established rather than showing every mark.
The handcut edges maintain traditional rustic character rather than geometric precision. These edges look like genuine estate stonework – intentionally irregular without being sloppy, traditional without feeling dated. The slight variation in edge profiles creates naturally rustic joints between slabs that suit heritage aesthetic.
The 22mm thickness represents traditional paving specification. This is proper established thickness that's been used for natural stone paving for generations – substantial enough for excellent structural integrity, proven durability over decades, compatible with traditional installation techniques. Thicker than modern 20mm formats, providing extra weight and stability.

How to Use It
Traditional Grid Patterns: The signature application for square format paving. Lay 600x600mm slabs in straight aligned grid for classic geometric layouts showcasing the sophisticated grey palette and natural riven texture. The uniform square proportions create intentionally ordered appearance that suits both traditional and contemporary gardens.
Running Bond Layouts: Offset square slabs by half their width to create brick-bond patterns with traditional riven finish. The 600x600mm format works beautifully in running bond, creating visual movement through directional laying while the consistent grey tones maintain calm sophistication. Particularly effective for pathways.
Diagonal Patterns: Rotate the grid 45 degrees for diamond-pattern laying. Square formats showcase diagonal patterns beautifully – the uniform proportions create perfect diamond geometry. This layout makes spaces feel larger while maintaining the sophisticated grey palette. More cutting required at edges but stunning visual impact.
Mixed Format Combinations: Combine 600x600mm squares with other Kandla Grey formats from the same riven range. Use with 900x600mm rectangles for mixed size patterns, or with 600x300mm half-slabs for traditional modular layouts. The consistent riven finish and unified grey palette tie different sizes together seamlessly.
Compact Spaces and DIY Projects: The 600x600mm format particularly suits smaller patios, courtyards, side passages, and DIY installations where lighter individual pieces make handling easier. The format remains efficient enough to avoid excessive joints while being manageable for solo work.
Installation Tips
For 22mm thickness paving, you'll want 100-150mm compacted Type 1 MOT sub-base with 40-50mm sharp sand and cement bedding layer. A 4:1 or 5:1 mix works well for bedding mortar. The 22mm specification means traditional substantial thickness – you're working with proper established paving formats.
The square format simplifies installation planning significantly. For straight grid patterns, establish perpendicular starting lines and maintain consistent spacing throughout. The uniform proportions mean fewer decisions during laying – each piece is identical in format, creating predictable patterns.
For running bond layouts, offset each row by 300mm (half the slab width). The square format makes maintaining consistent offsets straightforward – you're working with uniform dimensions rather than varying lengths. Establish strong straight starting lines before beginning to ensure patterns remain true.
The naturally riven surface means individual slabs vary in their undulation – this is authentic character, not defect. Use bedding mortar to accommodate these natural variations while maintaining overall level across the installation. You're leveling to the high points of each slab's riven surface.
The handcut edges create naturally rustic joints between slabs. These aren't precision geometric edges designed for tight fitting – they're traditional edges with character. Maintain 10-15mm joints to accommodate the natural edge variation while creating authentic rustic appearance.
Distribute the color variation naturally during installation. With Kandla Grey you're working with subtle tonal shifts rather than dramatic color differences, so distribution is less critical than with multi-colored stone. However, still worth stepping back periodically to ensure silver-grey tones and blue-grey undertones mix organically across the entire area.
The sophisticated grey palette works beautifully with virtually any contrasting or complementary color. Edge with darker materials like black limestone for definition, combine with warmer Camel Dust or Rippon Buff for tonal contrast, or use Kandla Grey setts for matching borders. The neutral grey functions as perfect backdrop.
What to Expect with Natural Stone
Here's what makes authentic Kandla Grey special – it's genuine quarried sandstone with sophisticated silver-grey palette and traditional riven texture. The color is remarkably consistent compared to multi-toned stone like Raj Green, but natural variation still exists within that grey spectrum. You'll see slabs ranging from cool silver-grey through warmer mid-grey tones, with most pieces displaying subtle blue-grey undertones.
Some slabs lean predominantly toward cool silver with pronounced blue undertones. Others showcase warmer mid-grey as primary character with silver highlights. Many display gentle blends – silver backgrounds with blue shadows and warm grey accents creating sophisticated depth. This variation is subtle enough that patios read as cohesive grey surfaces while maintaining natural stone character that prevents monotony.
The naturally riven finish delivers authentic textured surface formed through geological layering over millions of years. The undulating surface creates shadows and depth that change throughout the day as light angles shift. This isn't manufactured texture – it's genuine natural formation preserved through quarrying process.
The color remains beautifully stable over time. Kandla Grey's silver-grey palette doesn't fade, yellow, or change dramatically – it develops gentle patina that enhances rather than alters the stone's character. The sophisticated grey tones remain sophisticated grey tones whether installed yesterday or twenty years ago. This color stability is why Kandla Grey has remained Britain's bestselling natural stone for over a decade.
The riven surface provides excellent slip resistance throughout British weather. Rain intensifies the grey tones beautifully – colors deepen when wet, creating depth that dry stone only hints at. The texture maintains safe footing even with algae growth or frost formation.
Expect the stone to show natural characteristics typical of genuine sandstone. Occasional fossil marks, slight mineral variations, subtle grain direction, natural fissures within tolerance – these are hallmarks of authentic material rather than defects. The riven finish celebrates these natural characteristics rather than processing them away.
The handcut edges create naturally rustic joints. Unlike precision-sawn smooth paving with tight geometric joints, riven Kandla Grey creates traditional joints with character. This suits heritage aesthetic and established gardens where clinical precision would feel inappropriate.

Care & Maintenance
Kandla Grey riven sandstone is wonderfully low maintenance – the textured riven surface hides everyday dirt beautifully. The sophisticated grey palette means marks blend rather than standing out dramatically. Sweep occasionally to remove debris and the natural undulation creates self-cleaning effect where rain naturally washes surface.
Hit it with a gentle pressure wash once or twice a year to remove accumulated grime. The riven texture responds well to washing – colors brighten and the natural undulation shows off its character. The textured surface is more forgiving than smooth finishes during cleaning.
Many people seal Kandla Grey to enhance color depth and protect the surface. A quality sandstone sealer brings out the blue-grey undertones beautifully and creates slight sheen that adds depth. The riven finish takes sealer well though application requires more product than smooth surfaces due to increased surface area.
If you prefer natural patina, the stone performs well unsealed. The grey palette develops gentle weathering that adds established character. Many prefer the weathered appearance because it feels more traditional and authentically estate-like. The riven texture shows patina beautifully.
The 600x600mm format means replacement is straightforward if individual slabs ever chip or crack. Simply lift the damaged piece and bed a replacement – the consistent grey tones and natural riven variation mean new slabs integrate seamlessly without obvious patches.
