Vitrified Slabs (Non-porous)
Granite porcelain is manufactured to the highest of quality. Utilising pure kaolin clays and minerals, these are then fired at 1200 degrees Celsius. This elevates the slab into a different tier of Paving, as the tile is harder, more durable and has an extremely low water absorption rate. These porcelain slabs are 99.5% non-porous which offers so many advantages over natural stone and concrete.
R11 Anti-slip finish
The tiles have R11 anti-slip rating. Any Paving that is considered to be of a rating of R11 is considered to be secure for both wet and dry environments. This product is suited to all outdoor areas, terraces, balconies, indoor areas and ideal for surrounding outdoor swimming pools.
R11 rated paving is perfect for those looking for Paving Slabs that are suitable for young children playing in the garden. The anti-slip rating means this style of paving is safer than concrete & natural stone.
Resistance & performance
Porcelain paving will not be affected by the seasonal weather changes and will not deteriorate in freezing weather conditions that can see some stone surfaces deteriorate gradually.
Key Performances:
Colour Maintaining
This porcelain paving will not experience colour fading. The light grey colouring will remain fixed and not fade over time through sunlight bleaching and exposure and look the same as the day they were laid for many years with minimal cleaning maintenance.
Porcelain Paving vs Natural Stone Paving
Porcelain Paving ticks all the boxes. The price of porcelain compared to natural stone and concrete initially puts some customers off. However, you are paying for the quality and longevity of your garden. Porcelain will outlive all other types of stone and keep its looks. Typically the slabs only account for 20-30% of the initial cost of laying a new patio. 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.

Laying Comments
A rectified floor tile is one whose edges are perfectly vertical with respect to its surface. This is a result of precise machining of a regular unrectified tile so that each of the four sides will be at a 90° angle to the top and bottom faces of the tile.
As with all paving, it is essential to lay the paving by mixing the tiles from each of the packs that are to be laid. This ensures that the overall desired hue is achieved and evens out any slight colour discrepancies. Laying your patio one pallet at a time can lead to slight but visible colour banding.
It is essential to use a Slurry Primer, which should be applied to the underside of each paving tile just prior to laying. The base mortar should contain an SBR Bond additive included within the mix. Please refer to the laying instructions if in any doubt.
A flexible Tile Grout should be used and care must be taken not to let it dry on the surface of the tile.
