Anti Slip Paving Slabs
All of our paving features a level of natural slip resistance and, as long as the paving is maintained, the stone will retain its grip underfoot, but for extra peace of mind, we have some options which are designed specifically with grip in mind!
Which paving slabs should I choose?
Sandstone paving slabs offer the charm and appeal that only natural stone can offer. With beautiful variations in colour throughout, each paver features unique tones formed naturally over thousands of years and promises a finish filled with character. Choose from a naturally riven surface texture or a smooth, sawn & honed option to find the right patio paving for you!
Porcelain Paving is a state-of-the-art, man-made option that offers the look of natural stone with all the modern conveniences of a low-maintenance and fuss-free choice. The lightly textured, non-slip surface adds extra safety to any project and the outdoor tiles can simply be wiped clean with a damp cloth, saving you time on upkeep, plus so you won’t need to worry about any accidental spills!
Granite is a stylish and hard-wearing choice of paving slabs which are known for their durability as well as their non-slip and scratch-resistant properties. Granite pavers are ideal for use on patios, paths and around pools in any domestic or commercial project. The lightly-flamed surface texture of each slab helps to retain grip underfoot and leaves the slabs with a textured surface that glistens beautifully in the sunlight!
Available in a range of eye-catching colours, Slate Paving has a unique naturally riven texture suitable for creating a modern or traditional patio design that will bring life to any garden. Slate is a very durable choice which will stand the test of time, making them a great choice for any space that will see a lot of use.
Limestone has been used as garden paving for decades and can either act as the focal point or blend into the background of your space. The lightly riven texture of the stone offers subtle variations across the surface and is one of the most affordable patio paving options available!

How are Non Slip Porcelain tiles tested?
The R11 non-slip rating is a key indicator of a tile’s slip resistance and helps to prevent slips and falls, which is critical for safety. The tiles are subjected to four different test scenarios before being given a R rating for slip resistance.
The DIN 51130 Ramp Test sees a tile placed on an inclined ramp, where a test operator wearing standardised footwear walks back and forth on the tile surface. The ramp’s angle is gradually increased until the operator begins to slip. This test is repeated barefoot, known as DIN 51097 Barefoot Ramp Test.
The tiles also undergo the Pendulum Test (BS 7976) and Static Coefficient of Friction Test (ASTM C1028). In the pendulum test, a pendulum device with a rubber slider attached is swung over the surface, and the friction between the tile and the rubber slider slows the pendulum’s swing. The distance the pendulum travels indicates the amount of slip resistance. The friction test measures the force required to start moving an object under dry and wet conditions to simulate real-world scenarios.
By choosing R11-rated tiles, you invest in safety and convenience, making them a smart choice for any space. Their ability to provide slip resistance without compromising on aesthetics or ease of maintenance makes them a popular and practical option for various applications and are safe, even in wet conditions, providing peace of mind for all the family.
