A Stoneworld Group Company
Slip resistance is a critical consideration when choosing natural stone paving for external areas, particularly around swimming pools, garden paths, and any surface exposed to rain. Textured finishes such as riven, sandblasted, acid-etched, or finely flamed surfaces provide significantly better grip compared to smooth, honed, or polished faces, which can become slippery when wet. Stoneworld, for example, sandblasts certain stones like Raj Green and Kandla Grey to achieve optimum anti-slip performance without sacrificing the stone’s natural beauty.
It’s important to understand that slip performance varies between different stone types and finishes, so where a formal slip rating is needed, such as for a commercial project or pool surround, you should check available test data and look for recognised ratings.
