Each slab has a naturally riven surface that adds texture and character while providing useful grip underfoot. The hand-cut edges and four complementary slab sizes create a traditional random laying pattern that suits both classic and contemporary properties.

Important Natural-Stone Information

Mized Size Fossil Mint is a natural stone product, so variations in colour, veining, fossil markings, texture, dimensions and thickness are completely normal. These differences form part of the stone’s character and should not be considered defects.

Some slabs may display more pronounced natural markings than others. For the most balanced appearance, open several packs and mix the slabs as installation progresses.

We recommend ordering approximately 10% more paving than the measured area to allow for cutting, selection, handling and possible breakages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What colour is Mixed Size Fossil Mint sandstone?

Fossil Mint typically contains a mixture of warm buff, cream, beige and subtle earthy shades. Colouring and natural markings vary between individual slabs.

Does Fossil Mint sandstone contain fossils?

Some slabs may feature natural fossil-like markings, veining or mineral patterns. These markings vary and are part of the stone’s natural appearance, so they will not be present in the same way on every slab.

What slab sizes are included?

The full patio pack contains four sizes: 900 × 600mm, 600 × 600mm, 600 × 290mm and 290 × 290mm.

How many slabs are included in a full pack?

A full 19.52m² patio pack contains 65 paving slabs across the four different sizes.

How much area does a full pack cover?

A full pack covers approximately 19.52m² when installed with joints of around 10mm.

Are smaller packs available?

Yes. Split packs covering approximately 10.53m² and 15.21m² are also available.

How thick are the paving slabs?

The slabs have a nominal thickness of 20mm. As sandstone is a natural split product, variations of approximately ±5mm may occur and should be accommodated within the mortar bed.

What does a mixed-size patio pack mean?

A mixed-size pack contains several slab dimensions that can be combined to form a traditional random paving layout. This creates more visual interest than using one slab size throughout.

What does a riven finish mean?

A riven finish is created by splitting sandstone along its natural layers. This produces a textured and slightly uneven surface with an authentic natural-stone appearance.

Is Fossil Mint sandstone slippery?

Its naturally riven surface provides useful grip underfoot. However, any outdoor paving can become slippery if moss, algae or debris builds up, so routine cleaning is recommended.

Will all the slabs look identical?

No. Natural sandstone varies in colour, markings, texture and surface profile. Mixing slabs from several packs during installation will help distribute these variations evenly.

Where can Fossil Mint paving be used?

It is suitable for patios, pathways, terraces, courtyards, garden seating areas and other outdoor pedestrian spaces.

Can these slabs be used on a driveway?

These slabs are primarily intended for pedestrian areas. They should only be used for vehicle traffic if the paving, sub-base and installation system have been professionally designed for that purpose.

How should Mized Size Fossil Mint sandstone be installed?

The slabs should be installed on a full-contact mortar bed that supports the entire underside of every slab. Spot bedding should not be used. Applying a suitable slurry primer to the underside of each slab is strongly recommended to improve adhesion.

What joint width should be used?

A joint width of approximately 10mm is recommended. Some adjustment may be required because the slabs have hand-cut edges and natural dimensional variations.

Does Fossil Mint sandstone need sealing?

Sealing is optional but recommended. A suitable breathable natural-stone sealer can help protect the paving from staining, moisture and weathering. A colour-enhancing sealer may also deepen the natural tones.

How should I clean the paving?

Sweep it regularly and wash it with clean water and a suitable natural-stone cleaner when needed. Avoid acidic cleaners and harsh chemicals because these may damage or discolour sandstone.

How much extra paving should I order?

We recommend ordering approximately 10% more than the measured area. This provides an allowance for cuts, natural slab selection, handling and potential transit breakages.
