Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better for a wet Galway climate: Porcelain or Indian Sandstone?
Porcelain is superior for low maintenance because its non-porous structure prevents algae, moss, and green slime from clinging to the surface during wet winters. Natural Indian sandstone offers unmatched natural beauty, but benefits from periodic sealing every few years to maintain its color and resist organic staining.
How long does a new patio installation take to complete?
Most standard patio transformations take between 3 to 5 working days depending on ground excavation requirements, total square footage, and step construction. Paddy provides an exact schedule during your site survey and keeps you updated daily.
Why is full wet-bed mortar laying necessary for patio slabs?
Laying slabs on individual spots of mortar leaves hollow gaps underneath. Over time, rainwater collects in these voids, freezes during winter, and pops the slab loose from the ground. Setting slabs on a solid, 100% full mortar bed ensures your patio never shifts, cracks, or rocks underfoot.
