Installation & Care

Correct installation helps provide a stable pathway and maintain the appearance of natural slate.

1. Prepare a stable base: Allow for a 50–75mm compacted base suitable for the site conditions.
2. Add bedding sand: Use approximately 20–30mm of bedding sand to assist with levelling and support.
3. Plan the spacing: Use consistent joints of approximately 10–20mm to create a tidy, balanced layout.
4. Allow for drainage: Maintain a slight fall where appropriate to help prevent water from pooling.
5. Prepare gravel and pebble areas: Consider installing weed mat beneath surrounding decorative stone to help reduce weed growth and maintenance.
6. Clean after installation: Rinse the steppers to remove loose dirt and installation residue.
7. Use suitable cleaning products: Avoid harsh acidic cleaners and choose pH-neutral products appropriate for natural stone.
8. Consider sealing: A suitable penetrating sealer may help resist marks in high-use areas. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and test a small area first.

Ensure each stepper is fully supported and installed on a suitable base for the intended application.
