Why Our Customers Love Porcelain Paving

Over the last couple of years, porcelain paving has been making a real impact when it comes to garden design. From large outside spaces to small courtyard areas, porcelain paving is a hugely popular choice. Here are a few of the reasons why AWBS customers have fallen in love with porcelain paving.

Choice

Whether contemporary or traditional, there are porcelain patio slabs to suit every style of property. Modern technology has opened up a world of opportunities for stunning replicas of natural materials, including stone and wood, in a wide array of colours. Every detail is as intricate as the real thing – from wood grains to stone veining – making porcelain a fabulously realistic alternative.

Durability

Because porcelain is very dense, it’s far more resilient to weather than many other materials. Outdoor porcelain tiles don’t draw in any moisture, which means they aren’t susceptible to cracking through frost damage, nor do they allow mould and algae to become established. Porcelain paving also won’t fade over time from the sun’s rays and is stain and scratch resistant.

Strength and safety

Outdoor paving made from porcelain generally has a thickness of 20mm, which makes it very strong – ideal for patios, driveways and any other outside area that has to withstand a lot of use. Porcelain paving also comes is a variety textured surfaces, providing great slip-resistance in all conditions.

Ease of maintenance

Porcelain paving not only looks stunning but it’s really easy to look after too. While other materials need sealing and other special treatments, porcelain can be kept looking as good as new with a simple sweep and a light wash or hose down.

Versatility

While some other materials may not be suitable for all uses, porcelain allows you to create a garden haven and bring your interior design to your outside space. ‘Bringing the outside in’ has been a popular design choice for the last couple of years, and thanks to the versatility or porcelain you can bring a wonderful seamless transition to your home by flowing your flooring from the back of your house out to your garden. This style gives a fabulous illusion of space, as well as being highly practical and stylish.

Uniform style

Because porcelain paving tiles have rectified, straight edges and consistent thickness, they are easier to lay and point than other materials. This gives a gorgeous consistency alongside a clean and modern appearance.
