In-Store and Online Paving Orders Often Follow the Same Supply Process
Many customers assume that when they visit a physical paving showroom, they are buying directly from stock kept on site. In practice, most paving showrooms mainly display sample pieces so customers can compare the colour, texture, and surface finish before placing an order.
Because of this, buying paving slabs online is often very similar to buying from a traditional paving showroom. The main difference is simply how the sample is viewed, either in person at a display area or by ordering a sample for home delivery.
This usually applies to products such as natural stone paving, patio paving slabs, porcelain paving, Indian sandstone paving, granite paving, limestone paving, split face tiles, and stone cladding. As these materials are heavy and typically packed on pallets, the main stock is usually stored in distribution warehouses rather than inside retail showrooms.
The usual process of ordering paving slabs in the UK typically follows five main steps:
Even when visiting a physical paving showroom, the slabs on display are usually sample pieces only. The full pallet quantity is normally stored in a separate warehouse and delivered after the order is placed. In many cases, the supply process is therefore very similar whether the customer orders through a showroom or from a specialist online supplier.
