See Full DescriptionThe ever popular Raj Blend is a combination of brown and grey hues that make a wonderful neutral toned vista for any garden patio. This colour blend works with a wide variety of house styles and materials, because its natural hues complement and harmoniously support many surroundings. So, this explains why this neutral colour palette continues to prove to be so popular with homeowners, landscapers, architects and garden designers.
Part of the character of natural sandstone paving is that no two stones are coloured or patterned the same. So, when combined they create a rich blend of colours, tones and patterns to make a beautiful overall tapestry for your patio. Likewise, because these paving slabs have been hewn and riven from quarried stone and then cut by hand, their finish and edges are also unique, giving them a natural and individual character.
Raj Blend is ideal for patios and garden paving - its colouration, stability and tactile feel underfoot means it is perfect for outdoor living areas where the family can get together to enjoy the garden and sunshine! Whether your garden needs a large terrace or patio, or a small seating area tucked into the nook of a wall, these versatile patio pavers have the right combinations of sizes and formats to meet your needs.
Raj Blend Premium Select (uncalibrated) is offered in four paving slab size-formats and sold in six different pack options:
Pointing your patio couldn’t be any easier! Gone are the days of time-consuming traditional pointing with sand and cement. Paving Direct recommends using a ‘Brush in Grout’ such as Pavestone Pointfix.
Pointfix is a two-part jointing compound. One pack contains epoxy resin within the compound and the other epoxy hardener. Mixing and applying Pointfix is much cleaner and easier than traditional sand and cement mortar, as you simply just mix the contents within the tub and brush into the joints.
Pointfix is available to buy in two options. Either as a single tub to get the exact amount needed, or if you are buying our 19.5 m2 contractor packs, then Pointfix contractor packs will give you perfect coverage and save you money.
In addition to the standard paving packs, Raj Blend is also available in three sizes of Circle Feature Kits and their corresponding Squaring Off Kits - please see the related products for details.
Raj Blend comes in two varieties. Calibrated and Uncalibrated. Whether you chose Calibrated or uncalibrated, the appearance of the slabs will be the same. The difference is the thickness/depth of the product.
These paving slabs have not been through a calibration process. Therefore, the slabs vary in thickness between 17mm and 22mm. This is why this style of product is slightly cheaper than the calibrated version. Uncalibrated slabs are ideal if you are working to a budget, and/or you aren't worried about your project taking slightly longer to lay.
Seasonal changes can often bring a differing perspective to the reflected colours of the stone. In strong summer sunlight, a sandstone patio will appear to have less colour variation, whilst after rain, the colours will have a deep patina.
As with any natural product, be aware variation is normal and to be expected. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock, which means it was created on the seabed floor as numerous layers of sand were laid down and compressed over many millions of years. This process by means the stone has patterning and veins where different colour sands laid down and blended to form this rock.
Colours, tones and patterns vary naturally and that is precisely what you are buying when you select these natural products. These are not carbon copy stone slabs, but each is unique, with their own natural character. And that is the beauty a natural stone patio should present to you.
These pavers are quarried from the highest quality India sandstone, where our expert quarrymen select and cut this tried and tested stone. With their years of experience, our masons cut and shape the stone to exacting standards, so you can be assured you are getting the highest standard paving in each pack.
Raj Blend Uncalibrated is one of our most popular products. Offering a great balance between aesthetic quality, colour choice, performance, durability and price, it is understandable why so my people chose this paving.
Sandstone is permeable, which means it is not impervious to spills and weathering. Therefore, to better protect your stone, we recommend using a natural stone sealant water-based impregnator that ensures protection against stains and facilitates everyday maintenance.
