Autumn Brown Indian Sandstone Paving Slabs - Riven - Patio Pack - 22mm

What You're Getting

Autumn Brown riven patio pack combines warm inviting colour with versatile multi-size format and traditional textured finish.

The Warm Autumnal Palette: Autumn Brown shows earthy browns as its foundation, golden tan tones adding brightness, soft orange accents bringing warmth, subtle grey notes providing depth. Reads as rich and welcoming - genuinely distinctive colour combination. Natural variation across slabs creates interest and character. The colours deepen beautifully when wet, enhancing the warm tones.

Not uniform brown - you get authentic mix across the spectrum from darker chocolate browns through golden caramel tones to lighter sandy buffs with grey undertones. That's natural stone showing its geological diversity.

The Multi-Size Format: Pack includes four different sizes working together for flexible pattern creation. Typically includes 900x600mm (largest format providing efficient coverage), 600x600mm (square proportion for variation), 600x290mm (linear pieces for movement), 290x290mm (small squares for detail and adjustment). Proportions work together naturally.

Means you can create traditional random layouts, structured patterns, or anything between without constant cutting. The sizes are curated to complement each other - lay them out distributing sizes across the area for balanced natural appearance.

The Riven Surface: Traditional cleft texture from natural stone splitting. Provides authentic rustic character with natural grip underfoot. Surface shows natural mineral deposits, subtle texture changes, organic stone characteristics. Not machine-flattened smooth - traditional textured sandstone appearance.

Good for areas wanting character and safe grip. Thickness 22mm after calibration for consistent installation.

Pack Coverage Options: Available covering 18.95 sqm (large pack for substantial patios), 15.25 sqm (medium pack for standard areas), or 9.5 sqm (compact pack for smaller projects). Coverage assumes 8-10mm joints.

Why Choose Universal Paving

We source Autumn Brown from Indian quarries producing consistent warm-toned sandstone. Stone gets calibrated to 22mm and sorted into balanced pack proportions before shipping - proper multi-size selection, not random leftovers.

Our team gives straight answers about Autumn Brown's colour and format. This is warm earthy stone with genuine personality - browns, golds, oranges, greys all appearing across slabs. Make sure that bold warm palette suits your project. If you're after subtle neutral tones, look elsewhere. This stone brings character and warmth. The multi-size format offers layout flexibility but requires thoughtful distribution during installation. We'd rather discuss whether warm autumnal tones fit your vision than deal with "too orange" complaints after delivery.

How to Use It

Where This Works: Traditional gardens wanting natural warmth, country properties using authentic materials, outdoor entertaining spaces, projects needing flexible layout options. The warm autumnal palette creates inviting welcoming atmosphere. Riven texture suits rustic traditional aesthetic. Multi-size format allows creative pattern development.

Where to Think Twice: Modern minimalist designs wanting uniform appearance, properties needing cool contemporary palette, areas where warm brown-orange tones might clash with existing materials. If you want consistent neutral grey stone, this isn't it. Autumn Brown celebrates warm earthy variation.

Layout Approach: Random pattern works naturally with four sizes. Start laying from multiple areas simultaneously, mixing sizes throughout rather than using all large pieces first then filling gaps with small ones. Avoid clustering similar sizes or colours - distribute evenly. The layout pattern should look random and natural, not forced or geometric.

Traditional approach: establish border with mix of sizes, fill interior working from multiple points. Keep 8-10mm joints consistent throughout. The varied sizes naturally create interesting patterns.

Installation Tips

Standard prep: 100mm MOT Type 1 sub-base, 30-40mm mortar bed, 1:80 drainage gradient. The 22mm calibrated slabs need proper support across full surface area.

Work from multiple packs simultaneously if ordering several. Distribute colour variation - some slabs show stronger brown tones, others more golden or grey. Random distribution creates balanced natural appearance.

Lay mixed sizes throughout rather than segregating by size. The 900x600 pieces provide good coverage, 600x600 adds variation, 600x290 creates linear movement, 290x290 fills gaps and adds detail. Keep joints consistent at 8-10mm.

The riven surface shows natural texture immediately but colours develop fully after sealing. Point joints properly with appropriate compound and seal after installation.

What to Expect from Natural Stone

Colour Variation: Expect differences between slabs - some darker brown dominant, others showing more golden tan, some with orange highlights, others with grey undertones. That's genuine natural stone from geological formation. The riven surface emphasizes these colour shifts. Wet conditions deepen and enrich all tones.

Surface Characteristics: Riven texture means natural splits, mineral deposits, fossil traces, subtle height variation across surfaces. Hand-cut edges show authentic stone character. Each piece unique.

Size Variation: Four sizes include typical dimensional tolerance. Hand-cut edges show natural variation. 22mm thickness is nominal - expect minor differences.

Porosity: Natural sandstone absorbs water. Sealing helps but stone remains porous. The warm brown-orange palette can show marks so maintain regularly.

Delivery & Returns

Free delivery to most UK mainland addresses via 18-ton lorry with tail-lift. Kerbside offloading only. Ensure adequate access for full packs.

Orders by 3pm dispatch within 3-5 days. Saturday delivery available for additional charge.

Inspect on delivery before signing. Natural colour variation and riven texture aren't return grounds - that's the stone's essential character. Significant damage or incorrect products - contact within 48 hours with photos.

Care & Maintenance

Seal after installation with natural stone sealer. Enhances the warm brown-golden tones while providing protection. Reapply every 2-3 years.

Regular sweeping prevents dirt buildup. The riven texture helps hide dust but clean as needed. Wash with clean water and mild detergent, avoid acidic cleaners.

Deal with spills promptly - natural stone is porous. The textured surface provides good hiding for minor marks. Remove moss or algae with appropriate treatments.

Weathering adds character over time. Expect natural patina development.

Popular Combinations

Edging: Kandla Grey cobbles/setts (tonal contrast), matching Autumn Brown edging (colour continuity), charcoal or black setts (dramatic definition)

Steps: Matching Autumn Brown for consistency, contrasting grey stone for definition

Borders: Kandla Grey or buff linear planks (complementary contrast), matching Autumn Brown strips (colour flow)

Jointing: Natural sand, brown, or grey compounds complement the warm earthy tones better than stark white or black
