FAQs

What are outdoor steps used for?

Outdoor steps provide safe access between levels: up to a raised patio, door threshold, or terraced garden, all while matching your paving for a seamless look.

What step types do you offer?

  • Raj Green Sandstone, Grey Sandstone, Black Limestone
  • Sizes: 120cm x 45cm or 90cm x 45cm (availablity varies by colour)
  • Thickness: typically 3cm

Natural Stone Rustic Steps (chunky, hand-finished plank look)

  • Raj Green Sandstone, Grey Sandstone, Black Limestone
  • Sizes: 120cm x 25cm, 90cm x 25cm or 60cm x 25cm
  • Thickness: 80-100mm

  • Colours: Cathedral Anthracite, Cathedral Grey, Cathedral Beige
  • Size: 90cm x 60cm
  • Thickness: 20mm
  • Manufactured for a precise, consistent finish

Bullnose vs rustic - what’s the difference?

  • Bullnose: Sleek, rounded front edge for a contemporary, refined look. Great near doorways and modern patios.
  • Rustic: Thicker, more substantial blocks with a hand-finished face - idea for traditional or countryside schemes.

Which material should I choose: natural stone or porcelain?

  • Natural Stone (sandstone/limestone): Organic texture and colour variation; suits classic or rustic landscapes.
  • Porcelain: Low maintenance, stain-resistant, frost-proof and colour-stable; ideal for modern, high-use areas.

Are the steps slip-resistant?

Yes. Outdoor porcelain has a textured surface suitable for external use, and natural stone steps present a grippy finish when correctly laid and kept clean. Always follow good practice (falls, drainage, regular cleaning).

What sizes are available?

  • Bullnose stone: 120×45 cm or 90×45 cm (colour-dependent).
  • Rustic stone: 120×25 cm, 90×25 cm, 60×25 cm (80–100 mm thick).
  • Porcelain: 90×60 cm, 20 mm thick.

How many steps do I need for my height difference?

As a planning guide, domestic risers are often 150–170 mm each. Divide the total height by your chosen riser to estimate step count, then round to a practical layout. (Example: 450 mm height ≈ 3 risers at ~150 mm.)

Do you supply risers or just treads?

These are step treads. Many landscapers create matching risers using the same paving, cladding, or masonry—your installer can advise on a coordinated detail.

Can I mix steps with matching paving?

Absolutely. Raj Green and Grey Sandstone steps pair perfectly with their matching patio slabs; porcelain steps complement Cathedral porcelain paving for a unified scheme.

Are the steps sealed?

  • Natural stone arrives unsealed; applying a quality external stone sealer can enhance colour and resist staining.
  • Porcelain does not require sealing.

What about maintenance?

  • Porcelain: Just sweep and wash—no sealing, highly stain-resistant.
  • Natural stone: Occasional clean; sealing helps maintain appearance in high-traffic or shaded areas.

Are the porcelain steps cut to size?

Porcelain steps are manufactured to 90×60 cm with a finished edge profile. If you need bespoke formats, please ask - availability depends on the specific range and edge detail.

Are these supply-only?

Yes, supply-only. They’re installer- and DIY-friendly with the right tools and methods. Always follow manufacturer guidance for substrates, adhesives, and drainage.

What’s the delivery info?

Nationwide delivery is available, typically 3–5 working days. Free delivery applies on orders £750+. Collection from our Peterborough showroom can be arranged.

Are these suitable near door thresholds?

Yes! Bullnose stone or porcelain steps give a neat entrance detail. Ensure step heights align with building regs and incorporate drainage away from the threshold.
