How to Lay Paving

How you install your new porcelain paving will have a huge impact on how long it lasts for and how much up-keep will be involved in the years to come. When your porcelain paving has been installed properly, it can last up to 10 years! For that reason, we highly recommend investing in a professional Landscaper to carry out the work. 

Building Sand or Washed Grit are the most commonly used materials for a stable paving base, alongside Scalpings to create an additional sub-base layer for the paving to sit on. 

As a leading paving supplier, we also sell a variety of jointing compounds that you can choose from to joint the paving slabs together. The following options are: Azpects Easy Joint Select and the VillaFix Porcelain Grout. Both of these jointing compounds are high quality and permeable compounds, that will look great for many years and will also prevent the growth of weeds through the joints.

Moreover, you will be able to lay the paving directly onto a suitable decorative stone, which is a much-loved option if you want to create a stone walkway through your garden.

If you prefer, you can also lay the paving onto a pedestal and easy grid systems rather than directly on the ground.

Should I Choose Porcelain Paving?

Porcelain Paving is the most popular choice for a long-lasting garden patio, and by far takes the lead in durability and how it looks over time. 

During the manufacturing process, the Porcelain Paving slabs are kiln-fired at high temperatures of 1400 degrees. This ensures maximum strength and durability; a strength that traditional natural sandstone couldn't even compare to. 

With Porcelain Paving for your garden, there are so many more colours and designs to choose from compared to Sandstone or Limestone paving. Where they are designed and printed on each slab, you can ensure consistency if you are looking to create a perfect, modern garden.
