Porcelain Paving Guide
With so many varieties of Porcelain Paving to choose from, it can feel a bit daunting making your final selection. In this easy-to-follow guide, we take you through the different types of Porcelain Paving we sell, to help you decide which range is right for you.
Italian Porcelain Paving
Renowned for its incredible durability and sophisticated looks, our Italian range comes to us from our long-standing supplier, Stone Paving Supplies. Due to its state-of-the-art production process and rigorous testing, Italian Porcelain Paving is the highest quality of paving you can get.
Benefits of Italian Paving:
- Exceptional strength (fired at temperatures up to 1400 degrees celsius)
- Highly durable - slab thickness of 20mm
- Long-lasting - much less porous than ceramic tiles, so will not mould or frost
- Pool safe - guaranteed R11 non-skid value ensures a safe pool surrounding
- Child & pet friendly - Will not stain

Volcano (Beige, White, Black, Grey, Ash)
Hard (Ash, Brown, Nut & Griege)

Rectified Porcelain Paving
80% of our Porcelain Paving is rectified, this means it has been produced and cut to very precise measurements. During the production process, the moulds are slightly larger to then enable the diamond saw to cut it down to the exact size.
Benefits of Rectified Paving:
- Creates a clean and seamless patio
- Perfect for intricate laying patterns
- More flexibility in the grout consistency and width
Rectified Porcelain Paving ranges:
Quartz (Grey & Anthracite)
Vitrified Porcelain Paving
Over 80% of our Porcelain is also vitrified. This is also to do with the production process; made from high quality, pure clays and minerals such as Quartz, this is fired at 1200 degrees Celsius which guarantees high durability, with very little absorption, sometimes compared to as 'glass-like'.
Benefits of Vitrfied Paving:
- Non-porous and therefore weatherproof (almost water-proof)
- Resistant to mould, moss and frost
- Non-Slip & Pool-safe (R11 skid-value)
- Long-lasting & low maintenance
- Highly durable and strong
