One of the easiest ways to add a luxurious feel to your garden is by incorporating porcelain paving. Due to increased availability and a growth in the number of producers, this once "high end" commodity is now much more affordable and available.
Porcelain flagstones offer a contemporary finish to your garden, giving a smooth clean finish to your patio or entertaining space.
Porcelain is a low maintenance paving solution and one of the easiest paving types to keep clean. Due to the manufacturing process, porcelain tiles absorb very little water. Through being less porous, porcelain slabs are significantly more resistant to moisture, damage, staining, etc. They suit the UK climate in that they offer more slip resistance when wet and are much less likely to attract moss and algae.
They are much more resistant to scratches and marks and offer outstanding durability.
Porcelain flagstones are available in a variety of colours and sizes.
Natural stone slabs not only look aesthetically pleasing, but they're extremely durable and hard-wearing, making them a popular choice for outdoor patios and gardens. They will not fade or wear over time; in fact they can look better with age. Every stone is unique; they are extremely cost effective and incredibly workable and are relatively low maintenance.
Quarried from the Earth, natural stone varieties such as limestone, sandstone, granite and slate, offer a range of colours, textures, and patterns that add character and charm to any outdoor setting.
One of the most popular choices is the traditional Indian Sandstone. This natural stone is available in a range of shades and colours. The stone can be sawn or supplied in its "riven" state. The word riven refers to the surface of the flagstone; this is a natural bedding plane from which the stone was quarried.
