WHY EUROPEAN PORCELAIN ?
Our European porcelain is manufactured to high quality standard and has a realistic surface, with multi graphic design helping reduce repeat patterns, mimicking perfectly the surface of natural stone at the same time offering reduced maintenance and increase slip resistance compared to natural stone equivalents.
We source the finest raw materials from specific quarries from around the world to give the best final result in terms of quality of finish, better durability meaning greater longevity of use, better consistency from batch to batch and a all round superior product.
Our printers use minimum twin-colour heads to enable good graphic variance with numerous different graphic variations for each product. All our European porcelain paving products are gradually fired over a longer period using the worlds longest Kilns, between temperatures of 1000 to 1300 degrees C, building the temperature up gradually and then a longer cooling down process resulting in less stress on the product, meaning no bowing and a less brittle product than our competitors.

Do Porcelain Paving Slabs Fade?
As a rule no porcelain paving slabs do not fade, but over very long periods of time in sunny areas and with considerable weathering you could expect to see some slight changes to the appearance of the surface of the slabs.
Can You Cut Porcelain Paving?
Yes, our Porcelain Paving can be cut easily, but you will require a very good quality diamond blade made especially for 20mm Porcelain paving slabs. European & Italian Porcelain paving cuts a lot better than India porcelain due to the improved production processes making them less brittle and prone to chipping, but due to its increased density, it can take longer.
Can You Seal Porcelain Paving?
Yes, it can be advisable to seal Porcelain Paving. This will further reduce porosity and keep any maintenance to an absolute minimum, but it is not essential and is basically a personal choice.
Does Porcelain Paving Stain?
It is possible to stain Porcelain Paving but it’s very difficult due to its very low porosity. Porcelain paving can be sealed to further help prevent staining in areas prone to spillages.
Does Porcelain Paving Scratch Easily?
No Porcelain Paving does not scratch easily, it is an extremely dense material that is very hard to damage once installed. If the surface of Porcelain is damaged or scratch it is not possible to repair, so we would also recommend keeping a couple of extra slabs hidden in your garden just in case of future problems.
Are Porcelain Paving Slabs Low Maintenance?
Yes, Porcelain slabs are incredibly low maintenance, they have very low porosity of 0.5% minimising dirt penetration into the surface meaning in normal situations no more than a general clean will ever be necessary.
Is Porcelain Paving Any Good?
Yes we believe we offer the best possible quality Porcelain paving that will far exceed any domestic requirements and will, if correctly installed, last for decades without requiring anything but general cleaning and maintenance.
Is Porcelain Paving Hard To Lay?
Porcelain paving is a very hard and precisely manufactured products, so some additional knowledge is needed to handle this material correctly, but any well experienced landscape contractor with the correct tools will not have any problems installing any of our products.
Are Porcelain Paving Slabs Expensive?
Porcelain paving has become very competitively priced within the UK market, with a high quality Polish or Italian Porcelain product priced competitively against inferior imported porcelain and natural stone products. We would always recommend installing the best possible Porcelain Paving slabs you can afford as the actual costs of the paving materials itself, is only a fraction of the overall installation cost, and is the thing you will be left looking at for many years to come.
Are Porcelain Paving Slabs Slippery?
All paving that is used within the UK must be R11 slip rated to meet the current British standard for paving materials. All our Porcelain Paving products have been tested and meet or exceed these standards. Technical Data Sheets are available to view for all porcelain paving products, just follow the link on the product pages.
Will My Purchased Products Match The Sample?
We always send a representative sample from the current batch of tiles or paving we have in stock, so as long as you requested a sample close to the time of purchasing, this will help to ensure the tiles and paving you receive matches the sample you have been sent as closely as possible.
All of our products are either natural or porcelain and therefore there is always scope for variation in shade, colour and to some extent the texture and finish with the natural products and with porcelain there will always be some slight colour variation between different batches, although the surface texture and finish will remain largely the same.
We would strongly recommend that you visit one of our showrooms or paving displays to look at the current selection, so you can be entirely sure of what you will receive.
Can I Come And Collect From You?
Yes. Our opening hours and address are found on the Contact Us page. We have fork-lift trucks for loading onto suitable vehicles at all sites, and staff are always available to help with loading of smaller items. We highly recommend that you call your local branch, before visiting, to confirm the items you wish to collect are available.
