Porcelain paving slabs provide an exceptionally consistent finish to your outdoor space. They are highly durable and require minimal maintenance.
Sleek and sophisticated, porcelain paving offers a designer edge that you'll be eager to show off.
Made with a mixture of clay and sand, porcelain paving slabs boast the look and feel of high-grade natural stone at reasonable prices – ideal for those looking for a top-quality finish on a budget.
Durable, water-resistant and scratch-proof, porcelain paving slabs are perfect for areas with high footfall, such as patios and pathways. They're also extremely hard-wearing and non-porous, meaning you needn't spend time covering stains or buying expensive sealants. In fact, all our porcelain pavers need is a quick jet wash to keep them looking good as new.
What's the difference between ceramic, vitrified and porcelain paving?
The paving terms ‘ceramic’, ‘vitrified’ and ‘porcelain’ are used interchangeably by many manufacturers, however there are some subtle differences between these types of pavers. Porcelain and vitrified paving slabs are more suited to outdoor use; they are made using clays that are fired to a very high temperature to create a hard and durable finish. The term ‘ceramic’ can refer to a variety of materials, including porcelain, but some of these materials may not be suitable for outdoor use. In summary, if you’re choosing ceramic paving for your outdoor space then make sure the material is fit for purpose, and if you have any more questions then please get in touch with our team.
