Granite Carbon Porcelain Slabs

These Granite Carbon porcelain slabs are vitrified, high-performance porcelain tiles. These porcelain slabs provide superior performance, yet affordable solution for the homeowner seeking to achieve their dream patio. Ideal for outdoor living on your terrace or patio. They are designed to emulate classic granite paving in appearance but offer the high-performance benefits and characteristics of porcelain paving.

Vitrified Slabs (Non-Porous)

Granite porcelain is manufactured to the highest of quality. Utilising pure kaolin clays and minerals, these are then fired at 1200 degrees Celsius. This elevates the slab into a different tier of Paving, as the tile is harder, more durable and has an extremely low water absorption rate. These porcelain slabs are 99.5% non-porous, which offers so many advantages over natural stone and concrete.

R11 Anti-Slip Finish

The tiles have R11 anti-slip rating. Any paving that is considered to be of a rating of R11 is considered to be secure for both wet and dry environments. This product is suited to all outdoor areas, terraces, balconies, indoor areas and ideal for surrounding outdoor swimming pools.

R11 rated paving is perfect for those looking for Paving Slabs that are suitable for young children playing in the garden. The anti-slip rating means this style of paving is safer than concrete & natural stone.

Resistance & Performance

Porcelain paving will not be affected by the seasonal weather changes and will not deteriorate in freezing weather conditions that can see some stone surfaces deteriorate gradually.

Colour Maintaining

This porcelain paving will not experience colour fading. The light grey colouring will remain fixed and not fade over time through sunlight bleaching and exposure, and look the same as the day they were laid for many years with minimal cleaning maintenance.

Porcelain Paving vs Natural Stone Paving

Porcelain Paving ticks all the boxes. The price of porcelain compared to natural stone and concrete initially puts some customers off. However, you are paying for the quality and longevity of your garden. Porcelain will outlive all other types of stone and keep its looks. Typically, the slabs only account for 20-30% of the initial cost of laying a new patio. If kept well maintained, your porcelain patio will still look brand new in 10 years time. You simply can’t put a price on slabs of this quality when looking at the long-term (10 years plus) solution for your garden.

Porcelain Paving vs Natural Stone Paving

Porcelain paving ticks all the boxes. The material quality, improved performance characteristics, extended longevity, and lower maintenance/upkeep of porcelain paving significantly lowers lifetime-costs for any garden patio paving when compared to natural stone or concrete paving.

Porcelain will outlive all other types of stone, which will save you money in the long run; especially as typically, the slabs only account for 20-30% of the initial cost of laying a new patio installation. If kept well maintained, your porcelain patio will still look brand new in 10 years time. You simply can’t put a price on slabs of this quality when looking at the long-term (10 years plus) solution for your garden. Because porcelain exterior tiles are vitrified (glass-like) and the material is a solid homogeneous slab, it is waterproof and impervious. This means that dirt and grime, algae and lichen cannot penetrate and get in the material of these paving slabs. This makes keeping them clean and maintaining them much easier. Simply brush off leaves and detritus and wash with warm soapy water.
