High-Quality Materials
We use premium outdoor porcelain tiles, natural stone, and durable patio tiles to ensure every path and patio is built to last. Porcelain, in particular, is becoming a popular choice in garden design due to its R11 anti-slip rating and moisture-resistant properties, making it easy to clean and maintain.
Recommended paving options include:
Italian porcelain paving
Indian stone
Egyptian limestone
Cobble sets
mixing paving products
Mixing paving materials not only makes your patio stand out but can also be a cost-effective solution. Porcelain, as we know, is often more expensive than other popular options like Indian stone or concrete. However, by strategically combining different materials, you can create a stunning, custom look while staying within your budget. We recommend keeping the main areas of the patio in porcelain for its sleek, modern appearance and durability, while using stone for walkways or borders. This approach offers a great balance between aesthetics and affordability. Additionally, using stone for the walkways helps to reduce costs without compromising on quality or visual appeal. It’s an especially smart choice when dealing with larger areas, as it allows you to maximise the impact of porcelain while keeping the overall project more affordable
porcelian paving
Porcelain paving is a durable, low-maintenance material that adds a high-quality, upmarket feel to any landscaping project. While relatively new for outdoor use, porcelain is quickly becoming one of the most popular choices for patios and outdoor areas. Available in a wide range of colors and designs, it can complement any existing outdoor aesthetic, from modern grey tones to traditional aged-effect finishes.
Often associated with bathroom suites or kitchen sinks, porcelain is now widely used in outdoor landscaping, offering metallic finishes or industrial concrete looks. Despite its smooth appearance, porcelain paving is anti-slip, making it ideal for wet areas like pool surrounds. Its unique manufacturing process combines dense clay with non-porous granite, ensuring water evaporates, leaving a non-slip surface—perfect for the UK’s rainy climate.
Porcelain paving’s slip resistance is measured using the “skid rating,” ranging from R9 (for dry areas) to R13 (for wet areas), ensuring it’s safe and durable for any outdoor setting.
