Porcelain Paving

Outdoor porcelain is made with a textured, anti-slip surface, and our ranges carry slip ratings from R10 up to R12. That makes them a safe choice for patios, pathways and pool surrounds, staying grippy underfoot in typical British weather.

No. Porcelain is vitrified and non-porous, so spills and dirt sit on the surface rather than soaking in. A wash with warm water and a mild detergent, or a dedicated product like Azpects Easy Porcelain Cleaner, is all it needs.

Porcelain should be laid on a full wet mortar bed over a properly compacted Type 1 sub-base. Because the slabs are non-porous, a priming slurry should be applied to the back of each slab to create a strong bond with the mortar.

Azpects EASY Grout is formulated specifically for porcelain and ceramic paving and comes in Crema, Argent, Grafito and Blanco to suit different slab colours. It should not be used on natural stone, where it can cause permanent discolouration.
