Did you know that over 50% of the paving sold in the UK is untested and unregulated meaning there is no guarantee whether it will crack in frost, hold too much moisture, be too soft or brittle or have been discarded by the major brands as substandard and not fit for purpose?
By contrast, all paving sold by the leading brands offered at Paving Superstore is tested to the necessary European CE / UKCA standards to ensure the material is suitable for use.
Strict EU regulations were introduced in 2013 to ensure all paving sold in the UK meets the minimum standards set out under European standards EN1341 (flagstones), EN1342 (pavers) and EN1343 (kerbs), however still, many companies do not adhere to these standards and Trading Standards often do not have time to investigate companies selling unregulated paving.
Testing with leading brand paving offered at Paving Superstore costs the manufacturers several thousands of pounds each year to ensure the products you receive are perfect for the job. All products are CE marked / UKAS accredited. UKAS is the National Accreditation body for the United Kingdom appointed by the government to ensure products meet the high standards needed to attain certification. All products also hold a valid Declaration of Performance certificate which details the tests and results for each of the necessary criteria which guarantees you that the products we sell are fit for purpose.
Test Process
The water absorption test measures the amount of water a stone can hold when fully saturated. This is expressed as a percentage of the total weight. So, a result of 1% means that when fully saturated, 1% of a stone’s weight will be water. As a guide, paving such as porcelain is usually less than 0.01% porosity, granite is around 0.5%, sandstone and limestone are in the region of 1-3% and concrete, 6%
Why is this important?
This is an indicator to how quickly stains will soak in and how quickly a stone will look dirty. The lower the number, the better it will deal with staining. Obviously other factors such as colour and texture will also play a part in the likelihood of staining. High levels of water absorption are also associated with increased algae growth which is known to be a problem with poor quality stone as this is often more porous as a result of it being an inferior standard.
Frost resistance testing is called the Freeze/ Thaw test and is conducted by repeatedly freezing the paving to -40 Fahrenheit and then thawing it, before repeating the cycle again. During this process the paving will lose some of its flexibility and the key to good quality paving is that which does not lose a high level of resilience during the test cycle. Losses in Mpa should not exceed 5 Mpa
Due to temperature variances in the UK, it is imperative that paving can cope with very low temperatures. Paving which is overly porous will crack in frost and it is essential that paving is tested to the above standard to be sure it can cope in all weathers.
The ‘flexural strength’ test shows how much bending a paving unit can be put under before it breaks. This is an important test measurement for paving, but not really for setts or blocks as they are not large enough to bend. The test data is normally expressed in mega pascals (Mpa) with higher numbers being better. A typical measurement with sandstone is over 13 Mpa, concrete 5 Mpa and porcelain is often over 40 Mpa
The flexural strength is important as it ensures the paving is not overly brittle which would cause difficulties when handling and laying.
The ‘compressive strength’ test shows how much a stone can be squashed before it breaks. This is most important for setts and blocks as these are often used on driveways. It’s expressed in mega pascals (Mpa) with higher numbers being better.
The compressive strength rating is important when deciding on stone suitable for a driveway or commercial setting where excessive weight will be applied to the paving. Paving that does not pass the required standard will not support any excessive loading.
Slip resistance testing is a complex and varied area however the two main tests for domestic paving are either the pendulum test or the R rating test. With the pendulum test, a pendulum is swung over the surface of the stone which will slow it down. The rougher the surface, the more it will slow the pendulum and the higher the value. It is tested both wet and dry. The lowest permitted value when wet is 35.
The R rating is often used for porcelain paving and this is conducted using a ramp which is gradually raised. Oil is applied to the ramp and a test person walks onto the ramp wearing boots. The measurement is taken from the point at which they slip. R11 is the rating usually applied to porcelain paving and this is equivalent to the value of 34 to 51 in the PTV test data (pendulum test).
Ensuring paving has good slip resistant qualities is important for outdoor usage, especially when used by children or elderly people. There is no point installing stone that does not meet the specified criteria for outdoor surfaces as it will be dangerous and not at all suited to purpose.
In addition to strict quality control policies, our leading brand suppliers also comply with the following ethical trading initiative principles:
Please ensure you only buy ethically sourced natural stone.
