See Full DescriptionThese porcelain paving slabs have been designed to emulate honed natural stone. They have a light beige/grey-ish and cream hue and the design of the slabs faithfully represents the surface patterns one sees in stone, incorporating smaller, dark clastic elements and light coloured veining.
These Ecchio Crema Porcelain Paving Slabs are available in the popular 900 x 600 mm format in single size pack. These porcelain slabs have a depth of 20 mm which is perfect for a range of garden landscaping applications:
The 900 x 600 x 20 mm slab format is popular for a series of reason. Firstly, because it is quick and easy to lay. Its size means that laying is fast and efficient (one of the main costs involved with paving installation is the labour). Secondly, it is in the Goldilocks zone of being big enough to cover a large area, but not so big that an individual cannot lay them alone if necessary. Thirdly, for end-user and homeowners, they look great and are of a sufficient size that they don't appear lost or underwhelming in larger garden spaces.
Porcelain Paving has many advantages over standard natural quarried stones or concrete paving. These include the following:
Porcelain Paving vs Natural Stone Paving
Porcelain paving ticks all the boxes. The material quality, improved performance characteristics, extended longevity, and lower maintenance/upkeep of porcelain paving significantly lowers lifetime-costs for any garden patio paving when compared to natural stone or concrete paving.
Porcelain will outlive all other types of stone, which will save you money in the long run; especially as typically, the slabs only account for 20-30% of the initial cost of laying a new patio installation. If kept well maintained, your porcelain patio will still look brand new in 10 years time. You simply can’t put a price on slabs of this quality when looking at the long-term (10 years plus) solution for your garden. Because porcelain exterior tiles are vitrified (glass-like) and the material is a solid homogeneous slab, it is waterproof and impervious. This means that dirt and grime, algae and lichen cannot penetrate and get it the material of these paving slabs. This makes keeping them clean and maintaining them much easier. Simply brush off leaves and detritus and wash with warm soapy water.

Porcelain paving uses printed designs on the surface of the slab to create the patterns. Each pack will typically contain a variety of tile designs to ensure sufficient visual variation when you lay them. To ensure you do not lay matching patterns adjacent to one another and to ensure the blend/mix looks more varied, we advise inspecting the slabs prior to installation and determining your laying pattern. This ensures that the overall desired hue/pattern is achieved and evens out any slight colour discrepancies when laying more than one pack. Laying your patio one pallet at a time can lead to slight but visible colour banding.
Porcelain paving is non-porous and, therefore, requires a Slurry Primer to ensure it bonds properly with the bedding mortar. The priming slurry should be applied to the underside of each paving tile just prior to laying. Please refer to the laying instructions if in any doubt.
A flexible Jointing Grout should be used, and care must be taken not to let it dry on the surface of the tile. We recommend applying a protective sealant to your porcelain tiles to help prevent marking from grout residue (Porcelain Tile Protector).
