Slate Effect Porcelain Tiles

With their riven surface and beautiful tones throughout, natural slate tiles are an ever-popular flooring material that never disappoints aesthetically or practically. However, natural slate tiles can be costly, so why not choose our slate effect porcelain tiles as a like-for-like alternative? Printed at high definition, our luxurious slate effect tiles mimic the look of genuine slate but don’t come with the same tiring maintenance. Our slate porcelain tiles are machine-cut to form a beautiful square edge and natural surface, perfect for precise installation. Slate effect porcelain tiles are also much easier to install than genuine slate tiles because they are calibrated to achieve a set depth. What’s more, our excellent porcelain alternative doesn’t require sealing before installation and is very difficult to stain in the case of any unprecedented accidents. All our porcelain paving is manufactured with an R11 anti-slip finish, which means the porcelain tile is suited to all outdoor areas, such as patio terraces, balconies, indoor locations and around swimming pools.

The Key Benefits of Porcelain Paving:

• Low maintenance - 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.
• Hard-wearing - The vitrification process our porcelain products go through makes each porcelain slab solid and long-lasting. Drastic changes in the weather won’t affect the quality or look of your porcelain paving.
• Slip-resistant - With a minimum R11 slip rating, porcelain paving tiles are designed to have a slightly textured surface to combat slips and falls.
• Stain, scratch, mould, and frost-resistant - Besides being resistant to weather changes, porcelain paving is also durable in many other ways.
• Range of colours and effects available - Porcelain inkjet printing technology has widened the possibilities for porcelain paving. Almost any result or colour is achievable.
• Acid and alkali resistant - Porcelain paving can withstand fertiliser and lawn treatments.
• Colour maintaining - The manufacturing and processing of porcelain mean that even the darkest colours will not lose their intensity over time.
• Algae and moss resistant - This is particularly important for patios in the shade or north facing.
