Description
Drifting Sands Marble
Drifting Sands Marble pavers and tiles feature soft sandy beige tones with subtle mineral movement and natural veining, creating a warm and elegant natural stone finish. The surface is sandblasted and tumbled to produce a smooth yet slip-resistant texture, combining refined appearance with practical performance for outdoor environments.
The warm neutral colour palette works beautifully with timber, greenery, concrete and modern architectural materials, making Drifting Sands Marble a versatile choice for a wide range of landscape designs. Its natural density and durability allow it to perform exceptionally well in Australian outdoor conditions.
Independently slip tested using the wet pendulum method, Drifting Sands Marble achieves a P5 slip rating (59), the highest slip resistance classification under Australian Standards. This makes it a suitable option for areas where high slip resistance is required such as stair landings, ramps and pool surrounds.

Natural Stone Disclaimer
Due to the nature of natural stone, variations in appearance, colour, texture, grain, shape, size and markings are to be expected. No two pavers or tiles will be identical — this natural variation is what gives stone its unique beauty and character.
It is recommended to blend tiles or pavers from multiple crates prior to installation to ensure a balanced and consistent overall appearance.
Products have an acceptable size tolerance of up to ±2.5mm. For best results, pavers should be arranged by thickness and installed with an appropriate grout joint.
Minor chipping and natural markings are considered acceptable characteristics of natural stone. It is the responsibility of the installer or purchaser to inspect all tiles or pavers prior to laying. Claims will not be accepted once products have been installed.
Excessive chipping, structural cracks, or significant size variation may be eligible for assessment and claim.
We strongly recommend sealing all pavers and tiles after installation.
Marble Material Characteristics
Marble is a natural stone formed through the metamorphism of limestone, creating a dense material with distinctive veining and tonal variation. These natural mineral movements give marble its unique character and visual depth.
Subtle colour variation, veining and mineral patterns are inherent characteristics of marble and should be expected. Each piece of stone will differ slightly in appearance, ensuring every installation is unique.
Natural stone may contain small surface pits, veins or mineral markings which are part of the stone’s natural formation and do not affect the durability or performance of the material.

Installation Guide
Installation
Please note: The following guide is just a suggestion for laying methods and due to size constraints does not include detailed instructions for every step of the process. Further advise should be sought before laying alternatively engage a professional tiler / landscaper to complete the work.
Concrete Foundation Method
Pedestrian traffic – 75mm reinforced concrete (seek engineer’s advice for slab design and expansion joints)
Vehicle traffic – 100mm reinforced concrete (seek engineer’s advice for slab design and expansion joints)
- Clean and dampen concrete base
- Option 1 (30mm pavers)– use a slurry and mortar mix to adhere pavers
- Apply slurry mix (Cement, water and bonding agent mixed together into a workable paste) to the concrete slab in an even coat (1-2mm thick)
- Place mortar bed (4 parts sand: 1 part GP cement) on top of slurry at 20mm thick with no voids.
- Place slurry mix (1-2mm) to the underneath of paver.
- Option 2 (15mm – 30mm pavers /tiles) – use a cement based flexible tile adhesive.
- Apply tile adhesive to concrete slab using a 10-12mm notched trowel.
- Ensure the underneath of pavers are wet before laying on adhesive.
- Tap pavers /tiles down to desired level. Leave a 3-7mm grout spacing.
- Clean away excess glue / mortar with a sponge and water.
- Grout with an appropriate cement base grout.
Compacted Road Base Method
Pedestrian traffic – 75mm compacted road base (preferably stabilised) and 25mm compacted paver bedding sand
Vehicle traffic (concrete foundation method is still recommended) – For pavers less than 200×200 only – 100mm stabilised compacted road base and 25mm stabilised paver bedding sand
- Remove all excess vegetation, soil, debris from area, excavate to desire depth
- Compacted road base with compacting plate to recommended depth.
- Screed paver bedding sand to desired height (max 35mm)
- Lay pavers and tap down level with rubber mallet. Leave a 3-5mm grout spacing.
- Sweep in joint filling sand. Further compaction / levelling can be achieved by using a compacting plate with a carpet attached to underneath the plate. It is also a good idea to leave additional joint filling sand on top of the pavers when compacting.
Cleaning
Clean pavers prior to sealing to remove any dirt or grout residue.
- Wet down pavers / tiles
- Note: For Granite Only – Mix hydrochloric acid (1 part) with water (20 parts). Please note hydrochloric acid is a very corrosive and dangerous chemical, seek professional help with this chemical if unsure about usage.
- Gently brush the surface with a stiff broom or scrubber.
- Wash surface thoroughly (it is also a good idea to neutralise the acid with an alkaline base product (e.g. detergent)
Sealing
It is high recommended that all pavers are sealed with a penetrating sealer to protect from strains and weathering. Please consult with staff as to different sealant options.
