The Top 3 Choices for Outdoor Porcelain Paving

Outdoor porcelain paving is rapidly becoming the “go to” material for outdoor paved spaces for a number of reasons. When compared to concrete stone it is very lightweight, making outdoor porcelain paving tiles much easier to transport and install than many other popular paving materials.

Porcelain paving slabs also deliver impressive durability. The ceramic is very hard, which makes it perfect for use in high traffic areas such as patios, but unlike materials such as concrete it is also non-porous. This means that it will not absorb water and so will not be affected by the “freeze / thaw” cycle that can damage other, more absorbent paving materials such as concrete. This intrinsic non-porous nature and consistent hardness also makes porcelain highly resistant to stains from spilled liquids and oils, meaning your patio or driveway will be able to look great no matter how much wear and tear it is exposed to. This low porosity and hardness also make outdoor porcelain paving tiles an incredibly low-maintenance product. As mentioned, the material’s low porosity index makes it highly resistant to stains, reducing the amount of work required to keep them clean.

It’s worth noting that on the rare occasions you need to wash down your outdoor porcelain paving, or the more frequent occasions when it gets rained on, you will always have a safe slip-resistant surface. Slip resistance is built into the surface of every porcelain paving tile, providing a firm, reassuring grip beneath your feet or even the tyres of your car, even when wet.

Porcelain tiles also offer a great deal of variety and choice in terms of style. They can present a smooth appearance for a sleek, urban, and contemporary look. However, they can also imitate stone or natural wood and come in a wide range of colours. This ability to resemble almost anything makes porcelain paving tiles the most versatile paving option available.

But with so much variety and choice, what exactly are the best options for outdoor porcelain tiles? Given that all the styles of porcelain paving we offer are durable, lightweight, and low-maintenance, which should you choose? Of course, this is largely a matter of personal preference, but we thought it might be helpful to take a look at three of our favourite porcelain paving options. In no particular order, here they are:

Raj Green Porcelain Paving

Raj Green porcelain paving offers all the inherent benefits of porcelain, making it a practical and smart choice for any outdoor space. What sets Raj Green apart is its ability to beautifully replicate the earthy tones of traditional Raj Green sandstone, blending modern durability with a timeless, natural appeal. The mix of gentle green, brown, and grey tones in Raj Green porcelain paving creates a calm and organic atmosphere, perfect for those who want to achieve a classic, rustic look without compromising on durability.

One of the key advantages of Raj Green porcelain paving is its versatility. Its subtle, earthy hues complement a wide range of garden and landscape designs, from traditional country gardens to more contemporary outdoor settings. Whether you’re designing a patio, pathway, or courtyard, Raj Green porcelain adds a warm and inviting touch that seamlessly integrates with its surroundings.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, Raj Green porcelain paving offers exceptional resistance to weather, stains, and wear. This ensures that your outdoor space will remain beautiful and low-maintenance for years to come. Its durability and ease of care make it an ideal choice for homeowners who want the look of natural stone with the benefits of modern porcelain.

Anthracite Porcelain Paving

If you prefer a more modern, sleek, urban aesthetic, Anthracite porcelain paving might offer the look you’re seeking. This darker ceramic is a deep grey with lighter veins running across the surface of each slab. The veined texture still recalls natural stone, but the darker hue delivers a more dramatic and sophisticated appearance.

Anthracite porcelain tiles also deepen and become richer in colour when wet, a characteristic that mirrors natural stone. This makes Anthracite porcelain a more visually complex material than many other paving options, and the perfect choice if you are aiming for an urban chic aesthetic.

Kandla Grey Porcelain

Kandla Grey Indian sandstone is widely regarded as the default paving by many because it is so naturally beautiful. Kandla Grey porcelain paving mimics the appearance of this popular natural paving option while also delivering all of the many benefits intrinsic to porcelain.

This advanced, highly vitrified paving product allows you to enjoy the best of both traditional and modern paving, giving you the ability to make your outdoor space look natural yet contemporary.

So, there you have our personal top three choices for outdoor porcelain tiles. However, we already feel a bit guilty for leaving out so many great porcelain paving options. Perhaps, if there is one drawback to porcelain paving, it’s that there are so many choices and options available that it’s easy to be dazzled by the possibilities.

In the end, the aesthetic choices are something we leave to you, confident that you know your property and design preferences well enough to select the porcelain paving style that is perfect for you. What you will never have to worry about, however, is whether you’ve made the right practical choice.

One of the real benefits of porcelain paving is its consistency. The look of the tiles may change, but the properties of the material remain the same. Whatever size, shape, colour, or texture you choose, you will always get the same robustness, hard-wearing surface, anti-slip qualities, low maintenance, and durability.

This is because the ceramic is a manufactured product, and every stage of its production can be carefully controlled. This results in an inherently stable, coherent, and homogeneous product you can absolutely rely on. Perhaps this is why porcelain is rapidly gaining popularity among landscaping professionals and garden designers.
