You will be happy to know that porcelain paving slabs are virtually maintenance-free. Simply sweep with a brush to get rid of accumulated dirt or wipe over with a damp cloth to eradicate more stubborn dirt.

The manufacturing and processing of porcelain mean that even the darkest colours will not lose their intensity over time. Porcelain paving can also withstand fertiliser and lawn treatments.
Porcelain paving is a luxurious, high-quality paving solution that delivers beautiful results to transform gardens and patios and an array of indoor spaces.
Porcelain Paving is carefully manufactured using a combination of clays, sands, and other minerals, the mixture is pressed into a mould at high pressure and then baked in a high-temperature kiln. A vitrification process then follows to increase the strength of the porcelain tiles, reduce porosity, and aid water and scratch resistance. Elements such as feldspar, quartz, and silica are combined with the clay at high temperatures to style a much more polished appearance and improve the strength of the tiles.
The material is then dried and coloured or printed on before being fired in the kiln at temperatures as high as 1,200 degrees Celsius. Eventually, it is slowly cooled, which is part of the porcelain paving manufacturing process equally as important as heating. Many key attributes make porcelain paving the perfect product you require to revolutionise your outdoor or indoor environment. One huge advantage is that the tiles are low maintenance; porcelain paving doesn’t require sealing, much like natural stone and decking. Vitrified porcelain is also solid and hard-wearing, which makes it a long-lasting and weather-resistant design choice.
The non-porous formation of the product means that the tiles are naturally stain, mould and moss-resistant; in most cases, they will keep their original colour and look with basic cleaning using a brush and mop or pressure washer. Extremely low porosity also ensures that porcelain paving is not affected by changes in temperature, from hot to cold. Therefore, there is no risk of frost build-up or the product's colour and appearance changing or fading due to sunlight. As a result of the light, textured surface porcelain tiles are manufactured to have, slip-resistance is another excellent feature, with a minimum R11 slip rating.
Due to advancements with porcelain inkjet printing technology, there is now an enormous range of choices for porcelain paving. Stone, slate, wood, and even pattern finishes are all entirely achievable. In addition, size is always consistent throughout each batch because the paving is both calibrated and rectified to form sharp and square edges. Porcelain paving is a fantastic investment for your home that will make your interior and exterior surfaces look good even after many years of use.
