Key Reasons for Choosing Porcelain Paving
Exceptional Durability and Strength:
Manufactured from a mix of refined clay and other natural materials fired at extremely high temperatures and pressure (a process called vitrification), porcelain is incredibly dense and hard-wearing.
It resists scratches, heavy impacts, and general wear and tear, making it suitable for high-traffic areas, driveways, and commercial applications.
Once installed correctly, porcelain paving can last for decades without cracking or breaking under normal use.
Low Maintenance:
Porcelain is a non-porous material, meaning it absorbs very little water (typically less than 0.5%). This prevents dirt, grime, oil, and spills from seeping into the surface, making them easy to clean with just a brush and soapy water or an occasional jet wash.
Unlike natural stone or concrete, it does not require regular sealing, saving time and money on maintenance routines.
Its non-porous nature also resists the growth of moss, algae, and mould.
Weather and Fade Resistance:
Porcelain is highly resistant to frost and harsh weather conditions because it does not absorb water, preventing freeze-thaw damage (cracking or warping when frozen).
It is also UV-resistant, so its colours and patterns will not fade or change even after prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Safety Features:
Outdoor porcelain paving is designed with safety in mind and typically has an R11 slip-resistance rating (or higher), providing excellent grip even when wet.
This makes it a safer choice for areas around swimming pools, hot tubs, and steps.
