Hello,

we want to cover a small area (about 6 m² (65 sq ft)) at the garden house with patio slabs. We want a nice color, definitely nothing dull and gray.

Are there also slabs available that look like tiles? Are these also installed dry like slabs? The advantage is that the ground in this area is already compacted. We would only need to spread and lay decorative gravel. Thanks

Good morning,
unfortunately, it is difficult to understand exactly what you want from your description.
Most suppliers of patio slabs (I assume you mean slabs and not paving stones) have their catalogs available on their websites. Just browse through them there.
Or simply try a Google image search, for example, for "red patio slabs."
Alternatively, there are also tiles for outdoor use. These are usually installed with special tile adhesive.

You could use porcelain stoneware tiles for outdoor areas (2 cm (0.8 inches) thick).

These are also available in a wood-look finish.

Installation can be either loose in a gravel bed or set in trass cement (the bond between the tiles and the trass cement is created using a bonding slurry).

At the end of the day, the house is what matters, right? 😉

I can understand that it looks nicer when the wood effect is visible, but I would only do that if the extra costs and effort are reasonable.

No, no, the garden house has already been standing for 2 years. It's about the space in front of it and the strip next to it. This area was previously filled with awful stones. They need to be removed and replaced with paving slabs.

Do you perhaps have a picture of the current condition? Maybe we can find some good ideas 🙄
