What You're Getting – Shop Premium Quality

This is genuine Kandla Grey Indian sandstone in the versatile 600x300mm brick-sized 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 proportion that creates pattern possibilities.

The 600x300mm size represents classic paving wisdom. This approximate 2:1 ratio is what makes traditional laying patterns work properly. You cannot create genuine herringbone with square slabs – the geometry requires this rectangular proportion. Stretcher bond needs the brick-like dimensions. Basketweave relies on this specific ratio. This size brings pattern craft to natural stone paving.

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 brick-sized format brings specific design advantages beyond pattern possibilities. These smaller units are substantially lighter than large format slabs, making single-person handling straightforward without specialized equipment or back-destroying effort. The manageable size works brilliantly for pathways and narrower spaces where larger formats feel disproportionate.

The riven finish is what defines traditional natural stone paving. This surface has been split along natural geological planes during quarrying, creating authentic texture through layering formed over millions of years. The undulating surface delivers 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.

Available in four flexible pack sizes to suit different project scales and budgets.

Coverage Calculation:
Based on 10mm joints between slabs. Order slightly more than your calculated coverage to account for cutting wastage around edges and obstacles – particularly important for patterned layouts.

How to Use It

Herringbone Patterns: The signature application for 600x300mm brick-sized paving. Lay slabs at 90-degree angles creating V-shaped zigzag patterns that showcase the sophisticated grey palette and natural riven texture. Classic herringbone delivers visual movement and directional flow that creates stunning traditional patios. Requires precise cutting along edges where pattern meets borders.

Stretcher Bond Layouts: Create brickwork-style patterns by laying slabs in staggered rows, each offset by half a length. This generates strong horizontal lines with traditional appeal while maintaining the naturally textured riven finish. Simpler to install than herringbone but still requires careful alignment to maintain straight courses throughout.

Basketweave Patterns: Arrange pairs of slabs perpendicular to each other creating woven square patterns. This traditional layout brings timeless charm to garden pathways and formal patio areas. The 600x300mm proportion works perfectly for authentic basketweave geometry. Pattern suits heritage properties and established gardens particularly well.

Random Bond Patterns: Mix rectangular orientations freely creating organic random layouts without geometric constraints. The varied placement prevents rigid formality while the consistent grey tones maintain cohesive appearance. Easier installation than structured patterns – less precise alignment required, simpler cutting at edges, forgiving with natural variation.

Pathways and Borders: The brick-sized proportions feel natural for garden paths where larger slabs seem disproportionate. Use straight running bond for directional paths, or combine with contrasting Kandla Grey cobbles for defined pathway edges. The manageable size works brilliantly for curved routes where smaller units follow contours better than large formats.

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.

Pattern laying requires significantly more planning than simple grid layouts. For herringbone patterns, establish 45-degree angle lines before starting – maintaining consistent angles throughout is crucial for professional appearance. Work from straight edges where pattern meets borders, cutting precisely to maintain clean transitions.

For stretcher bond layouts, establish straight datum lines and maintain half-length offsets row by row. The brick proportions make checking alignment straightforward – each slab should align with the midpoint of slabs in adjacent rows. String lines help maintain straight courses across substantial areas.

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.

Pattern layouts create more cutting than simple grids – particularly at edges and around obstacles where geometric patterns must terminate cleanly. Budget additional time and wastage for patterned installations. Consider paying professionals if herringbone seems daunting – the labor cost reflects genuine skill requirements.

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 cobbles 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.

Patterned layouts help disguise any slight batch variation that might occur. Your eye reads the overall pattern geometry rather than fixating on individual slab tones, so minor color shifts between batches blend more naturally than with uniform grid layouts.

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 600x300mm 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. Patterned layouts make integration even easier as your eye focuses on geometry rather than individual pieces.
