May 13th, 2022

Indian patio slabs, often referred to as Indian slate slabs, are taking the outdoor flooring industry by storm, and for good reason. Indian stone paving is renowned for its wide array of unique colouring and finishes that can enhance almost any outdoor environment. They are particularly useful in the formation of patios and pathways as they create a textured, sophisticated, and rustic look. With this in mind, we have listed the main reasons why Indian patio slabs are so popular in today’s outdoor decoration market.

IMPRESSIVE COLOUR CHOICE AND PATTERNS 

Indian slate slabs come in a plethora of stylish colours that can match to the existing decor of your outdoor area. With a selection of greys, creams, tans, browns, beige, whites, blacks, and more, you’ll find the exact colour and style you want. The material’s unique texture, featuring grains, veins, and fissures on each slab, allows you to create a truly original style for your home that cannot be replicated.

HARSH WEATHER RESISTANT 

Another superb benefit of Indian patio slabs is that it can guarantee impressive levels of water absorption and can offer exemplary levels of frost/cold resistance. This means that your paving slabs will continuously withhold their beautiful texture and aesthetics even in the harshest of weather conditions throughout the calendar year. Furthermore, its porous nature allows installation with water features like pools and fountains, adding significant value and enjoyment to your outdoor setting.

SKID FREE

Indian patio slabs also offer skid-free properties. This means that if you can apply Indian slates to your patios, decks, or pathways, they can improve the safety of those who come into contact with the material. This is particularly useful in home settings that have young, active children who may not think twice about slipping during harsh weather conditions or in the presence of water areas such as fountains or swimming pools.

LOW MAINTENANCE

Aside from durability, another huge benefit of Indian stone slabs is that they are extremely low maintenance. You simply need to have the Indian stone patio installed and sealed, that’s it. No need to worry about anything else for many years down the line. However, it’s imperative to have them correctly installed by an experienced paver to ensure increased longevity. In addition, dirt, soot or grime embedded onto the Indian slate surface is pretty straightforward to remove. You can use a simple pressure washer without risking damage to the colour or finish of the material.
