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
What colour is Cloudstone Mid Grey paving?
Cloudstone Mid Grey is a balanced mid-to-deep grey porcelain paving tile with soft, cloud-like tonal movement and a fine speckled stone-effect surface. The tone sits comfortably between light and charcoal greys, making it one of the most versatile grey patio colours for UK gardens.
Is grey porcelain paving slippery when wet?
No. These tiles carry an R11 anti-slip rating, engineered to stay safe underfoot in wet and frosty conditions — ideal for the British climate, poolsides, and shaded areas.
Do porcelain paving tiles need sealing?
No. Vitrified porcelain has a water absorption rate below 0.1%, so staining agents and water cannot penetrate the surface. Unlike sandstone or slate, porcelain paving never needs sealing — before or after installation.
Are these tiles frost-proof for UK winters?
Yes. With near-zero porosity they are fully frost-proof and withstand the UK freeze-thaw cycle without cracking, flaking, or absorbing moisture.
How many 900×600 tiles do I need per square metre?
Each tile covers 0.54 sqm. Divide your area in sqm by 0.54 and add 10% for cuts and wastage — a 20 sqm patio needs roughly 41 tiles. The minimum order is 28 tiles (15 sqm).
Can Cloudstone Mid Grey be used for a driveway?
Yes. At 20mm thick and fully vitrified, these tiles are suitable for driveways when laid on a correctly prepared full mortar bed over a compacted sub-base, following the installation guidance above.
