Pavestone Paving Slabs, Porcelain & Natural Stone
Create an outdoor space that feels like part of your home with Pavestone paving at JJ Building Materials. Explore porcelain paving slabs, natural sandstone and installation products for garden patios, pathways and terraces. From soft ivory and contemporary grey to the varied tones of Raj Blend and Golden Fossil, our collection gives you different ways to coordinate your paving with your property, planting and garden furniture.
Whether you are replacing a tired patio or planning a new seating area, start with the finish you want and the way you will use the space. Compare slab dimensions, thicknesses and pack options, then choose the bedding and jointing products required for your selected paving. Planning these details together helps avoid missing materials when installation begins.
Why Choose Pavestone?
Pavestone has supplied hard landscaping and building products for more than 20 years. Its range combines natural stone with manufactured paving, including porcelain, giving homeowners and landscapers a choice between naturally varied surfaces and designed stone-effect finishes.
That choice makes it easier to plan a garden around your own priorities. You might prefer sandstone's individual markings for a cottage-style terrace, a simple porcelain rectangle for a modern patio, or wood-effect paving for a seating area. Look beyond the colour alone: texture, laying pattern and the joint finish all contribute to the completed design.

Pavestone Porcelain Paving
For an outdoor surface that balances a contemporary appearance with straightforward upkeep, explore Pavestone porcelain, including Amalfi Gris in a 900 x 600mm format. Its rectangular proportions offer a useful starting point for patios and paths, particularly when you want a regular layout rather than a mixed-size pattern.
Porcelain's low water absorption helps it resist staining, but it still benefits from regular cleaning. Compare the surface finish and intended application of each product before deciding which one suits your garden.
Pavestone Classic Grey Porcelain
Build a neutral base for your garden with Pavestone Classic Grey porcelain in 900 x 600mm slabs. The grey, stone-inspired appearance can sit comfortably alongside brick walls, timber furniture and green planting without making the patio the dominant feature.
Consider the proportions of the whole area when planning your layout. Sketch where full slabs and cuts will fall around doorways, steps and borders, and choose a grout colour that either blends with the paving or clearly defines each slab.
Pavestone Classic Ivory
For a lighter alternative, Pavestone Classic Ivory provides a pale, warm-toned porcelain option in the same 900 x 600mm format. Consider it for a patio where you want a softer backdrop to dark furniture, colourful pots or a planted border.
Compare pale and dark finishes with the materials already around your garden. Your brickwork, render and surrounding walls can help narrow the choice, while the laying pattern gives you another way to personalise the finished space.
Pavestone Deckwood Wood-Effect Paving
Explore the appearance of timber in a porcelain format with Pavestone Deckwood, including the Cinder design in 1200 x 295mm slabs. Its long, narrow shape introduces a different rhythm from square or rectangular stone-effect paving.
Use the plank-style format to help define a dining area or create a visual direction along a path. Although the design takes inspiration from timber boards, it is porcelain paving and needs an installation suitable for that material, not timber-decking fixings or a conventional decking frame.
Pavestone Raj Blend Sandstone
Bring natural variation into your landscaping with Pavestone Raj Blend 20mm calibrated sandstone paving. The mixed-size format and combination of earthy brown, tan and grey tones suit projects where you want the character of natural stone rather than a uniform manufactured finish.
Each slab can differ in tone and surface detail. Review the paving together before laying, rather than judging the finished effect from a single piece. Your installer can plan the distribution of colours and sizes to create a balanced layout across the patio.
Pavestone Golden Fossil Sandstone
For a warmer natural stone palette, consider Pavestone Golden Fossil 22mm calibrated sandstone. Its golden, cream and wheat shades offer an alternative to cooler grey paving, with a mixed-size format for a varied patio layout.
Natural markings and colour differences are part of the stone's appearance. This makes Golden Fossil worth considering for traditional gardens, relaxed seating areas and landscaping where you want an individual finish. Check the selected pack coverage and laying pattern before calculating your order.
Pavestone Priming Slurry
Include the bonding materials in your paving order with Pavestone priming slurry. Supplied in a 12.5kg tub, this cement-based primer is used beneath paving to help form a bond with the bedding mortar. Pavestone specifies priming for its mortar-bedded porcelain installations and also recommends the product for natural stone.
The manufacturer's approximate coverage is 15m² per 12.5kg tub, but actual usage depends on the surface and application. Follow the mixing and application instructions, and keep primer off the visible face of the paving.
Pavestone Tile Grout
Finish the joints between your slabs with Pavestone tile grout in a 10kg pack. It is designed for porcelain paving and specified natural stone applications, giving you a jointing product to consider alongside your chosen slabs.
Grout colour affects the finished appearance, while joint dimensions affect the quantity you need. Check compatibility, joint width, joint depth and the manufacturer's coverage information before ordering. Priming slurry and grout perform different jobs: the primer helps bond the underside of the slab, while grout fills the joints.
Porcelain or Natural Sandstone Paving?
Choose porcelain when you prefer a designed surface, a regular slab format and low water absorption. It offers stone-effect and wood-effect choices without the natural variation of quarried sandstone, although variation between printed faces and production batches should still be considered.
Choose natural sandstone when individual colour changes, markings and surface texture are central to the look you want. Raj Blend and Golden Fossil offer different palettes, and mixed-size packs allow a less repetitive arrangement.
Neither material is the right answer for every project. Compare the actual finish, installation requirements and ongoing care alongside the purchase price, rather than choosing on appearance alone.
Choosing and Ordering Your Pavestone Paving
Match the Product to Its Intended Use
Tell your landscaper whether you are creating a pedestrian patio, garden path or area carrying vehicles. Do not assume a patio slab is suitable for a driveway. The paving specification and supporting construction must both be appropriate for the expected load and site conditions.
Plan the Layout and Quantities
Measure the area and sketch the layout before ordering. Allow for cuts and any spare slabs your installer recommends, then compare the coverage of the exact pack option selected. Check whether quoted coverage includes joints, especially with mixed-size packs. Slab dimensions alone do not tell you how many pieces are included in a pack.
Include Installation and Finishing Materials
When comparing Pavestone paving prices, include the sub-base, bedding, primer, jointing materials, edging and labour your project needs. Pavestone's mortar-bedded porcelain method requires full support beneath each slab. Drainage and finished levels also need planning before work begins; attractive paving cannot compensate for an unsuitable base.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Pavestone porcelain and sandstone?
Porcelain is a manufactured paving material with a designed finish and low water absorption. Sandstone is quarried natural stone, so colour, markings and texture vary between slabs. Compare individual products for the appearance and installation your project needs.
What colours are in Pavestone Raj Blend?
Raj Blend combines earthy brown, tan and grey tones, with natural variation between individual pieces. View several slabs together to judge the overall effect, and agree the colour distribution with your installer before permanent laying.
Is Pavestone Golden Fossil a natural stone?
Yes. The Golden Fossil product featured here is natural sandstone, supplied as a 22mm calibrated mixed-size paving pack. Its gold, cream and wheat shades vary naturally rather than forming a single uniform colour.
What does calibrated sandstone paving mean?
Calibration brings the underside of natural stone slabs to a more consistent nominal thickness, helping the installer work with a more predictable bed. It does not remove the natural texture from the top surface or eliminate all dimensional tolerances.
Does Pavestone porcelain paving need sealing?
Pavestone states that its porcelain paving does not require sealing. An appropriate pre-grout protector may be recommended during installation, but this is different from a routine sealing treatment. Follow the guidance for the selected surface and installation products.
Do I need priming slurry for porcelain paving?
For Pavestone's mortar-bedded porcelain installation, yes. Porcelain absorbs very little moisture, so priming helps the underside bond to the mortar. Apply it as instructed for the system; grout is not a substitute for this bonding coat.
How much paving grout will I need?
Coverage depends on slab size and joint width and depth. Larger or deeper joints require more material, so there is no single coverage figure for every 10kg tub installation. Use the manufacturer's coverage guidance with your proposed layout.
Is outdoor porcelain paving completely slip-proof?
No surface should be treated as slip-proof in every condition. Check the exact product's slip-resistance specification for the intended setting, and plan drainage and cleaning. Water, ice, leaves and surface contamination can affect grip.
Can I use these patio slabs on a driveway?
Only use a product and installation specifically confirmed as suitable for vehicle loading. Do not assume the garden paving featured here has that suitability. Ask your installer to check both the paving specification and the supporting construction.
Can outdoor Pavestone porcelain be used inside?
Do not assume so. Pavestone states that its 16mm and 20mm external porcelain paving is not suitable as internal flooring. Choose a separately specified indoor product and an appropriate installation system when planning an interior floor.
Will all the sandstone slabs look the same?
No. Natural differences are part of sandstone's character. Inspect and dry-lay the paving before fixing so you can assess the combined colours and textures. Photos or a single sample cannot show the full variation within an order.
