Garden Steps in Stone & Porcelain FAQs
How do I choose the right garden steps for my project?
Consider your garden style, colour scheme, and maintenance preferences. Natural stone can provide a more classic look, while porcelain is considered a more modern, and low-maintenance material. Please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team, who can help advise you on the best material to suit your project requirements.
Are natural stone steps slippery when wet?
Along with our porcelain steps, all our stone steps comply with British Standards of slip ratings, meaning that they are suitable to be laid externally in the UK. We advise all customers to take extra care in wet or icy conditions, on any externally laid paving material.
Do I need to seal my stone garden steps?
Sealing sawn (smooth) natural stone is recommended as it helps to protect against stains and moisture absorption. All outdoor materials are susceptible to marking and staining but sealing natural stone assists with ongoing maintenance. Porcelain steps do not require sealing.
How Do I Maintain My Natural Stone or Porcelain Steps?
By following these simple steps, your garden steps will remain in excellent condition for years to come.
Natural Stone Steps:
Periodic Cleaning: Sweep away debris and wash with mild soapy water to prevent dirt buildup. Lighter, more porous natural stone (e.g. Harvest Sandstone) will require this more regularly than darker, tighter-grained materials such as Black Granite. Natural stone can be jet washed but ensure that the pressure is not too great that it will damage the stone’s surface.
Algae & Moss Removal: Use a diluted moss and algae remover to prevent slippery surfaces, especially in shaded areas, where moss and algae are more likely to occur.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Acidic or abrasive cleaners can damage limestone and should never be used. Before using any chemical on paving products, trial the chemical in an inconspicuous/test area prior to using across a larger area.
Winter Care: Clearing snow and ice promptly helps maintain safety and appearance.
Porcelain Steps:
Low Maintenance: Simply sweep and wash with warm water and a non-abrasive cleaner. Before using any chemical on paving products, trial the chemical in an inconspicuous/test area prior to using across a larger area.
Stain Resistance: Porcelain is naturally non-porous, so spills can be wiped away easily without staining.
Occasional Jet Washing: For deep cleaning, a low-pressure jet wash can be used to remove stubborn dirt. Depending on the paleness of your porcelain, and the level of dirt, specialist chemicals may need to be used.
Winter Care: While porcelain is frost-resistant, clearing snow and ice promptly helps maintain safety and appearance.
What is the difference between bullnose and rock-faced profiles?
Bullnose: Smooth, rounded edge for a refined, classic look. Found across our naturally riven (hand cut) sandstones.
Rock-Faced: Hand-cut, textured edge for a rustic, natural appearance. Found across our smooth sandstone, limestones, granite, and porcelain products.
Can these steps withstand harsh weather?
Yes. Our natural stone and porcelain garden steps are weather-resistant and durable, making them ideal for the UK climate. Ensure that all natural stone and porcelain outdoor materials are laid with high quality grouting products, to ensure a lasting finish.
