Outdoor Porcelain Tiles, Colours & Styles
Porcelain is well suited to buyers who prefer a more controlled appearance than naturally varied stone. Choose from greys, beige and buff tones, anthracite and black paving, stone-inspired surfaces, decorative patterns and wood-effect formats. Live examples include beige porcelain paving, black porcelain paving, wood-effect porcelain paving and patterned porcelain paving.
Choose the Right Porcelain Paving Size
Format affects both appearance and cutting. A 600 x 600mm square creates a regular grid, while 900 x 600mm paving produces longer patio lines. Larger formats can suit broad contemporary terraces, while smaller setts work well for edging, paths and picture-frame borders. Always check the individual product page for exact dimensions, pack coverage, finish and installation requirements.
Porcelain Paving Installation Products
Correct preparation and installation are important for outdoor porcelain. The live collection also includes products such as Pavestone Priming Slurry and Pavestone Tile Grout. Follow the paving and installation-product instructions for the exact system being used, including requirements for bedding, priming, jointing and curing.
Porcelain Paving FAQs
Is porcelain paving suitable for patios?
Outdoor porcelain paving is a popular patio option where a clean, controlled appearance is wanted. Check that the exact product is intended for the proposed outdoor application and follow its installation requirements.
What size porcelain paving slabs should I choose?
Formats such as 600 x 600mm and 900 x 600mm suit many patios, while larger slabs can create a more expansive appearance. Smaller porcelain setts can work well for borders and paths. The best size depends on the dimensions, shape and cutting requirements of the space.
Do porcelain paving slabs need priming?
Many outdoor porcelain installation systems specify a priming slurry because porcelain has low water absorption. Follow the requirements for the exact paving and bedding system rather than assuming the same method applies to every product.
Does porcelain paving need sealing?
Several current Pavestone porcelain products are described as non-porous or almost impermeable and do not require routine sealing. Use the care guidance for the exact product rather than automatically applying a natural-stone sealer.
How do I calculate porcelain paving quantities?
Calculate the total square metres, compare this with the coverage stated for the exact product variant and include an appropriate allowance for cuts, breakages and layout complexity. Borders and setts should be calculated separately where they use a different product.
What is the difference between porcelain paving and natural stone?
Porcelain is manufactured and generally gives more controlled dimensions and appearance, whereas natural stone such as sandstone, limestone, granite and slate naturally varies in tone and texture. Your choice should reflect the look, maintenance expectations and installation method you prefer.
