What is Porcelain?
Porcelain paving is formed by baking a mixture of clay, sand and other minerals in high temperature kiln. Known as the vitrification process. This produces an incredibly durable and non – porous product.
6 reasons to chose Porcelain:
- Easy to clean and maintain – no need for chemicals. Soapy water and a brush or mop will keep your paving clean
- No sealants are required – as its non porous you need not worry about staining
- Resistant to erosion – water cannot penetrate the paving, keeping your patio strong and secure
- Will last for years – extremely hard wearing, resistant to sun fading, frost, moss and algae growth
- Porcelain paving has an anti slip texture – so improving safety in the Winter months
- Porcelain comes in a wide range of styles, sizes and colours
Is Porcelain expensive?
Porcelain is often regarded as a premium product and can be seen as costly, but there are porcelain options available to suit all budgets.
Porcelain installation at GB Surfacing:
Pavers are cut using a table saw equipped with a porcelain-specific wet blade for precision, or a hand-held grinder to create detailed features. We always use a full mortar bed and primer, along with tile spacers and a levelling system for each paver, ensuring consistent narrow joints throughout the installation.
