Whilst it is very exciting to relax in your lounger on your new natural stone paving, we also need to be realistic.. living in the UK means 50% chances of rain all year round, so 50% chances of wet paving… and a wet lounger! However, this doesn’t mean that your paving has to be slippery and unsafe in these conditions.



You may be wondering what you can do to ensure that your natural stone paving is non-slip all year round? Read on to find out more!



Tip 1 – Select a stone that has been treated in order to achieve an optimum non-slip finish.

At Stoneworld, we go the extra mile to ensure your safety and maintain the high-quality nature of our product ranges. With over 20 years of experience in stone, we know our products very well.



For example, our La Roche limestone is acid-etched. By treating the surface of our La Roche limestone in this way, we achieve the optimum anti-slip finish, whilst maintaining the natural beauty of the stone.



Other suppliers will sandblast this limestone which results in a slip-resistant finish, but detriments the beauty of the stone as you cannot see the natural fossils, markings and highlights. Our Stoneworld La Roche acid-etched limestone is perfect for patios, pool copings and pool surrounds as it is safe whilst still looking fantastic!

Tip 2 – Ask an expert for a stone with the right finish for your requirements

At Stoneworld, we choose the optimum finishes and processes for our stones to ensure they are safe and non-slip – we care about your safety!



Although you may be under the impression that honed stone is typically very smooth, this doesn’t mean it has to be unsafe. For example, sawn sandstones such as Yellow Mint are indeed safe to supply as honed. People often find it hard to believe that these smooth, contemporary stones are not slippery, but due to the friction force of the stone’s surface, they are actually non-slip, meaning you can enjoy this stone without worrying!

However, from our 20 years of experience with stone, we know that other stones such as Raj Green and Kandla Grey sandstone cannot be safe when honed. These stones, when honed, can be very slippery in wet conditions (for example around a swimming pool, or when it has rained). To resolve this issue, we gently sandblast these types of stone to give them a non-slip finish. This makes stones like Raj Green and Kandla Grey sawn paving safe to have in your garden or around a pool without compromising the quality or beauty of the stone – that’s a win win situation if you ask us…Tip 3 – Choose quality over quantity

We really do believe in sourcing quality stone from suppliers we have long-standing relationships with! We source our stones direct from quarries around the world, most of which we have 20+ year relationships with. This means we know where our stone comes from and how it is treated, to ensure consistent, high-quality and non slip products for you.
