Why Choose Porcelain Paving?

Porcelain paving outperforms natural stone in durability, stain resistance, and long-term maintenance. With near-zero water absorption (<0.1%), these tiles are fully frost-proof and will not crack, flake, or fade through UK winters. No sealing is ever required — an annual jet wash is all that's needed to keep surfaces looking pristine year after year.

Installation Guide

• Lay on a full mortar bed — never spot-bed outdoor porcelain
• Prepare a minimum 100mm compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base
• Apply a dedicated porcelain tile primer to the back of each tile before laying
• Maintain a 3–5mm joint gap and finish with a flexible outdoor grout
• Incorporate a drainage fall of 1:60 minimum, falling away from any buildings
• Use a continuous angle grinder blade — never a point-load tile cutter

Frequently Asked Questions

Do porcelain paving tiles need sealing?

No. Vitrified porcelain has a water absorption rate of less than 0.1%, which means staining agents and water cannot penetrate the surface. Unlike natural stone such as sandstone or slate, porcelain paving never requires sealing — before or after installation.

Are these tiles suitable for UK weather?

Yes. These tiles are fully frost-proof and designed to withstand the UK's freeze-thaw cycle. The R11 anti-slip rating ensures they remain safe underfoot in wet conditions throughout the year. They will not crack, flake, or absorb moisture through winter.

How many tiles do I need per square metre?

Each tile covers 0.54 sqm (900×600mm). To calculate how many tiles you need, divide your total area in sqm by 0.54 and add 10% for cuts and wastage. For example, a 20 sqm patio requires approximately 41 tiles including wastage.
