What is porcelain paving?

Porcelain tiles are made from a blend of materials like clay, sand, and quartz, rather than being cut from a solid piece of natural stone. These tiles are well-known for their exceptional durability and low maintenance. Porcelain is incredibly scratch-resistant and has a porosity that's close to zero, which dramatically lessens water absorption, making the stones last much longer and easier to clean. The manufacturing process of porcelain paving involves firing the raw materials at very high temperatures to create uniform slabs with distinct textures and patterns.

While porcelain's density makes it a sturdy option for paving, it can be tricky to install. Specialised tools are generally required for cutting the slabs, and an extra layer of primer is needed to achieve the necessary adhesion to the mortar. Confident DIYers may take on the project, but we always recommend enlisting the help of an experienced professional.


What are the benefits of porcelain paving slabs?

Porcelain paving slabs are consistent in size and thickness, so they offer a more polished appearance. This makes porcelain slabs an excellent alternative to variations of natural stone if you prefer a more uniform look. The temperatures at which these stones are fired create an incredibly dense product that's ideal for high-traffic areas.

The minimal porosity of porcelain means you don't have to worry about dealing with moss, algae, and mould growth. Porcelain is also available at varying levels, which is mostly dependent on how textured the surface is. 


What are the applications of porcelain paving?

Porcelain paving is incredibly versatile and well-suited to a wide range of different applications. It's most commonly used for patios, pathways, and driveways, but it's just as stunning when installed indoors. Its modern aesthetic seamlessly complements contemporary spaces. Whether you're looking to create an inviting patio for entertaining or stylish flooring for your home or business, porcelain paving offers a beautiful and durable solution.
