While our Italian porcelain paving might cost a bit more upfront compared to some natural stones, it’s an amazing value in the long run. It’s durable, low maintenance, and doesn’t need frequent repairs or replacements. Plus, it comes in a range of styles that replicate high-end natural stones but at a fraction of the price.

Cleaning is a breeze! Just sweep up debris regularly and give it a wipe down with some mild detergent or soapy water to keep it looking fresh. Unlike natural stone, our porcelain doesn’t need sealing or special treatments. And if you get stains like oil or grease, they can be wiped away easily thanks to its non-porous surface. Just avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools around the grout.

Installing our porcelain paving requires a bit of care due to its tough nature, but it’s totally worth it. A solid, level sub-base is essential, along with a priming slurry applied to the underside of the tiles to ensure proper adhesion. You’ll also need a strong adhesive designed for exterior use and weather-resistant grout for the joints. Cutting porcelain can be tricky as it’s tougher than natural stone, so specialised tools like a wet saw with a diamond blade are required for clean, precise cuts. While DIY enthusiasts can give it a go with the right tools, we recommend hiring professional installers to handle both the laying and cutting, especially for detailed designs or tight spaces.

Yes, it’s an environmentally friendly choice! Our Italian porcelain is made with sustainable practices, including recycling waste materials. It’s durable, so you won’t need to replace it as often, which helps save resources over time. Plus, because it’s so easy to maintain, you won’t need harmful chemicals for cleaning, making it a great option for the eco-conscious.

Absolutely! Our Italian porcelain paving is perfect for the UK’s unpredictable weather. It’s frost-proof, so it can handle freezing temperatures without cracking. Its low water absorption prevents moisture from seeping in and expanding when it freezes, making it ideal for colder months. In warmer weather, porcelain stays cooler in the sun compared to darker natural stones like granite or slate, making it comfortable for barefoot areas such as patios or pool surrounds. Lighter-coloured tiles are great for reflecting heat, while darker shades may retain more warmth—perfect for adapting to the UK’s varied climate!
