The Best Quality Low Cost Paving Slabs are Exclusive to AWBS
Finding high-quality paving slabs at affordable prices can be a challenge. Many companies claim to offer budget-friendly options, but in reality, their products lack durability and aesthetic appeal. Which is where AWBS comes in…
As a leading supplier of landscaping materials, we are proud to stock our very own range of hardwearing yet low cost paving slabs. Better still, our variety of paving styles is constantly expanding to ensure there is something to suit every preference.
So, if you’re keen to transform your outdoor space without breaking the bank, look no further. Whether you want to lay a new patio or garden path, discover what the AWBS Exclusive range has to offer below. Plus a few extra benefits you can look forward to when shopping with us.
An introduction to the AWBS Exclusive paving range
The first AWBS Exclusive slabs were launched over 10 years ago, with the aim of providing top quality products at reasonable prices. The initial range included just 4 sandstone paving options, which proved popular (and remain so) with trade and retail customers. Not only due to the value they offer, but also because of their strength, colour and attractive rustic finish.
Since then, the collection has gone from strength to strength and we have adapted it more than once to meet demand. As such, we now have 12 paving styles available, including our original naturally riven sandstone slabs. Plus, stylish limestone and Brazilian slate alternatives, and three brand new styles of sandstone-effect porcelain paving, introduced in 2023.
What’s new for 2024?
On top of that, this spring we’ll be adding two more low cost porcelain paving slab styles to our Exclusive collection. This will take us to 15 varieties of natural stone and porcelain in total, so stay tuned for what’s next. One thing’s for sure – there’ll be no shortage of design options to choose from, whatever your budget. What better way to update your garden for the summer?
The benefits of choosing our low cost paving slabs
Wide array of styles and colours
Whether you own a contemporary new-build or an older home packed full of character, we have low cost patio slabs to match. Opt for multi-tonal sandstone slabs with eye-catching veining for a classic look. There are numerous shades to choose from, including warm Coastal Mix, cool Stone Grey and nature-inspired Meadow Blend. Otherwise, you may like our chic black limestone or grey slate pavers, both perfect for modernising outdoor entertaining areas.
Multiple materials including porcelain
As mentioned, the original AWBS Exclusive range featured Indian sandstone pavers split along their natural layers for an authentic finish. These traditional patio slabs are a go-to for many landscapers due to their many colour options, affordability and weather resistance. With that said, if you’d prefer a more uniform finish with clean edges, you might prefer our straight-cut slate pavers. Both these and our stylish limestone slabs also boast a smoother (yet still slip-resistant) surface – ideal if adding patio furniture.
However, if stain-resistance and durability are your top priorities, then our reasonably priced porcelain pavers are a no brainer. Benefit from the look of natural sandstone while enjoying the perks of porcelain, including scratch and fade resistance. Not to mention long-lasting results. We’ve even incorporated a slightly riven surface into the design to aid authenticity.
Handy paving packs/ individual slabs
When you’ve chosen a colour and material, it’s time to order your slabs. Not sure how many you need? Learn how to measure out your space and calculate the right amount of pavers in our patio laying guide. Once you’ve worked out the area in square metres (plus a little extra), you can simply buy as many ready-to-use paving packs as you need to cover it. These feature 4 different slab sizes in equal quantities for creating attractive, random paving patterns. But if you need some inspiration, each pack comes with a suggested layout to make your life easier.
Alternatively, several of our cheapest patio slabs can be purchased individually, including 4 sandstone varieties, Noir limestone and Brazilian slate. This is especially useful if you’re only laying a small section of paving or want to replace one or two broken slabs. Likewise, if you didn’t order enough the first time around, you can buy a few more to complete your project.
Robust yet low cost patio slabs
While other budget patio slabs are often thin and poor quality, AWBS Exclusive paving is typically 20-22mm thick to withstand heavy foot traffic. In addition, we source all of our stone from reliable suppliers and quarries that we’ve built long-term relationships with. With that in mind, you can rest assured that you won’t have to compromise on quality in order to source affordable slabs.
In fact, our natural stone paving packs start from just £459 for 15.22m2, which equates to £30.16 per square metre. Or, if you’re looking to upgrade to porcelain, you could create a 19.89m2 patio for just £720. That works out to only £37.46 per square metre. However, our own-brand porcelain paving packs are currently 10% off until the end of February, so act fast!
Complementary products and guides available
Ready to lay your low cost paving slabs? Then you’ll need aggregate for the base, cement to secure the slabs and jointing compound or grout to complete it. The good news is that you can find all of that and more at AWBS. We even operate a bagging facility at a local quarry, which enables us to provide competitively priced sand and aggregate.
On top of that, we have large display areas at each of our branches, featuring various low cost patio slabs and complementary landscaping products. Think decorative gravel, edging and kerb stones and sleepers to name just a few relevant items. And, if this is your first time installing a patio and you need some assistance, we also have multiple online guides to help you. You can even find problem solving advice and maintenance tips to ensure best results.
Alternatively, visit us in store at Oxford, Yarnton or Swindon and speak to a member of our friendly, knowledgeable team. We’ll be more than happy to discuss options and show you paving samples to help you select the right products for you.
