Why choose porcelain for your new patio or path?

Porcelain is a luxurious-looking premium surface which is durable and easy to maintain, due in part to its resistance to staining, moss, algae and lichen. It’s perfect for steps and features, adding lovely finishing touches to your patio or pathways.

Why Choose Us for your Oxfordshire Porcelain Patios?

Porcelain patios are a beautiful addition to your home, but it’s always important to have them laid by a professional porcelain patio expert, to ensure that they remain flat and stable android cracking.

10 Benefits of Porcelain Patios & Pathways

It’s easy to see why porcelain patios and pathways are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to natural stone: porcelain looks beautiful in any setting, and its technical specifications are outstanding. Here are just a few reasons to select porcelain for your next project:

Low Maintenance

Porcelain tiles have a porosity level of less than 0.05%, so they don’t need to be sealed. The only maintenance they need is a quick jet wash every year or so.

Looks like Natural Stone

Porcelain tiles and paving slabs can easily mimic the most desirable characteristics of natural stone (including colour variation, veining and fossilisation), whilst eliminating the drawbacks and maintenance requirements.

Increased Thickness

Until recently, porcelain tiles were only made in thin profiles up to around 12mm. Recent technological development now allows for thicknesses up to 20mm – sturdy enough to install them without using cement or adhesive.

Slip-Resistant

Since porcelain absorbs very little moisture, surface water evaporates quickly, minimising the risk of slipping. Porcelain tiles are available in a range of textures, from super-smooth to quite heavily textured, so we can help you choose a suitably slip-resistant tile for your space.

Stain-Resistant

Because porcelain patios and pathways are highly moisture-resistant, spilt liquids cannot soak into the tiles and cause stains.

Scratch Resistant

Marks made by furniture can be easily brushed away, leaving no visible scratching on the surface. The EN ISO 10545/6 deep abrasion resistance test requires a result of less than 175mm3, and our porcelain passed with a result of only 139mm3.

Fade-Resistant

The porcelain tiles we use for your patios and pathways are cooked at 1,200°C, effectively ‘locking’ the pigmentation in. This process makes them virtually weather and UV-resistant, reducing the risk of colour fade.

Frost Proof

Porcelain is highly frost resistant and can easily tolerate sub-zero temperatures, making it an ideal solution for patios, pathways, swimming pools, and hard landscaping in the cold British winter climate.

Superb Strength

Porcelain is denser and more hard-wearing than most kinds of ceramic tile. That’s because porcelain is vitrified – baked at such a high temperature that it converts into a very solid, dense material.

Use Indoors and Outdoors

Because porcelain is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, it is easy to create a seamless transition from your interior to your exterior space by using the same design in both locations.
