Batch information
Porcelain paving is a man-made product crafted in batches and may exhibit variations in colour and texture from batch to batch. This potential variance means that the porcelain you receive upon ordering may differ slightly from the samples sent, or our showroom displays viewed before making your purchase. To maintain product consistency, we advise against combining different sizes as these will inevitably be different batch codes. It is industry standard to allow an additional 10% on all orders.
Should you have any concerns about these variations, please reach out to our sales team for personalised guidance. We recommend keeping note of the ‘batch colour code’ labelled on the packaging of the delivered porcelain. This is a white label of the side of the pallet and also the packing of each individual slab.
While we strive to source the same batch for future orders, this isn’t guaranteed. Therefore, we encourage ordering sufficient quantities initially to maintain uniformity in your project.
Split packs

INSTALLATION GUIDE – OUTDOOR PORCELAIN PAVING
To achieve the best possible finish and long-term performance from your outdoor porcelain paving, it is essential that the correct installation methods are followed. Due to its dense, non-porous structure, porcelain paving requires specific preparation and installation techniques to ensure a successful installation.
This guide applies to all outdoor porcelain paving slabs used for patios, pathways, terraces, courtyards and garden landscaping projects.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Check Batch Numbers
Before installation begins, always check the batch numbers shown on the packaging.
Minor variations can occur between production batches, including:
• Shade
• Tone
• Surface pattern
• Texture variation
For the best visual result:
• Ensure all packs are from the same batch where possible
• Blend slabs from multiple packs during installation
• Dry lay the paving before fixing where practical
Once installed, the product is considered accepted.
Pattern Variation & Blending Slabs
Many porcelain paving products use a selection of different face designs and print patterns to create a realistic natural stone appearance. While individual patterns will naturally repeat throughout the range, the slabs are designed to be blended during installation to achieve the desired overall effect.
We strongly recommend laying slabs from multiple packs and mixing the different print patterns across the installation area. Failure to blend paving correctly may result in clusters of identical prints appearing together, creating a repetitive appearance that may not reflect the intended design of the product.
Dry laying the paving before installation can help identify pattern distribution and achieve a more natural and balanced finish.
PREPARATION & PLANNING
Before installation:
• Measure the area carefully
• Allow an additional 10–15% for cuts and wastage
• Plan the paving layout in advance
• Incorporate suitable drainage falls
Recommended fall:
1:60 to 1:80 (approximately 1–2%)
SUB-BASE PREPARATION
A strong and stable foundation is essential.
Recommended build-up:
• Excavate to the required depth
• Install a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base
• Lay a full wet mortar bed
The base must be:
• Fully compacted
• Stable and level
• Free from movement
• Adequately drained
Porcelain paving should never be laid on spot beds, dry sand or unstable surfaces.
PRIMING SLURRY
Due to the non-porous nature of porcelain, a slurry primer must be applied to the underside of every slab before laying.
For each slab:
• Apply a full coat of porcelain primer
• Ensure complete coverage
• Lay immediately onto the wet mortar bed
This helps create a strong bond between the paving and mortar bed and reduces the risk of movement or failure.
LAYING THE PAVING
When laying porcelain paving:
• Use a full wet mortar bed
• Maintain consistent joint widths
• Use tile spacers where required
• Check levels regularly
• Maintain adequate drainage falls
Recommended joint width:
3–5mm for rectified porcelain paving.
Use a rubber mallet carefully to level slabs without damaging the edges or surface.
CUTTING PORCELAIN PAVING
Porcelain paving should be cut using suitable equipment such as:
• Wet saw with porcelain diamond blade
• High-quality porcelain cutting disc
Using unsuitable tools may result in:
• Chipping
• Poor-quality cuts
• Cracking
Always wear appropriate PPE when cutting paving materials.
GROUTING & JOINTING
Once the paving has cured sufficiently, joints should be filled using a porcelain-compatible grout or external jointing compound.
Important:
• Follow grout manufacturer instructions
• Remove excess residue immediately
• Avoid allowing grout haze to dry on the surface
IMPORTANT NOTES
• Blend slabs from multiple packs during installation
• Batch variation is normal within porcelain paving products
• Wet paving may appear darker or richer in tone than when dry
• Installed slabs are deemed accepted
• Professional installation is recommended for best results
Natural Paving Store cannot accept responsibility for issues arising from incorrect installation methods or failure to follow the guidance above.

AFTERCARE GUIDE – OUTDOOR PORCELAIN PAVING
Outdoor porcelain paving is designed to be exceptionally durable, low maintenance and easy to care for. Thanks to its dense non-porous surface, porcelain paving resists moisture absorption, staining, algae growth and general weathering, making it an excellent choice for patios, pathways, terraces and garden landscaping projects.
Following these simple aftercare recommendations will help keep your porcelain paving looking its best for years to come.
GENERAL CLEANING
For routine cleaning, porcelain paving can usually be maintained using:
• Warm soapy water
• A soft brush or broom
• Clean water for rinsing
Regular sweeping will help prevent the build-up of dirt, leaves and organic debris.
For heavier dirt or marks, specialist porcelain paving cleaners may be used where required. Always follow the cleaner manufacturer’s instructions carefully and test any cleaning product on a small inconspicuous area first.
PRESSURE WASHING
Porcelain paving can be cleaned using a jet wash or pressure washer when required.
Recommended:
• Use moderate pressure only
• Keep the lance moving continuously
• Maintain a suitable distance from the paving surface
• Avoid directing high pressure directly into joints
Excessive pressure may damage grout or jointing compounds over time.
SEALING PORCELAIN PAVING
Due to its non-porous surface, porcelain paving does not require sealing.
However, some customers may choose to apply a porcelain-specific sealer to:
• Assist with routine cleaning
• Help reduce surface residue build-up
• Provide additional protection in high-traffic areas
If sealing is chosen:
• Ensure the paving is clean and completely dry
• Use a sealer specifically designed for porcelain paving
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully
Please note that sealing porcelain paving is optional rather than essential.
INSTALLATION RESIDUE & GROUT HAZE
Following installation, some paving may display temporary grout haze, cement residue or jointing compound residue on the surface.
In most cases this can be removed using a suitable porcelain paving cleaner once the installation has fully cured.
Always ensure:
• Cleaning products are suitable for porcelain paving
• Manufacturer guidance is followed
• Strong acid-based cleaners are avoided unless specifically recommended
Failure to remove installation residue promptly may make cleaning more difficult at a later date.
RUST & METAL CONTACT
Although porcelain paving is highly stain resistant, rust marks can still occur if metal objects are left in prolonged contact with the surface.
Please take care with:
• Metal garden furniture
• BBQs
• Plant pots with metal bases
• Steel tools and equipment
• Decorative metal ornaments
We recommend:
• Using protective feet or pads beneath metal furniture
• Avoiding prolonged contact with rusty objects
• Removing rust marks promptly using a porcelain-safe cleaner
WINTER CARE
Porcelain paving performs exceptionally well in UK weather conditions and is highly frost resistant.
During winter:
• Remove leaves and organic debris regularly
• Avoid using metal tools directly on the paving surface
• Use porcelain-safe de-icing products if required
• Avoid harsh chemicals that may affect grout or surrounding materials
Porcelain paving is designed to withstand freezing temperatures and seasonal weather changes when installed correctly.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• Wet porcelain paving may appear slightly darker in colour than when dry
• Minor installation residue may be visible immediately after installation
• Always test cleaning products in an inconspicuous area first
• Avoid abrasive pads, wire brushes or harsh chemical treatments
• Follow all manufacturer recommendations for cleaning products and sealers

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do porcelain paving slabs require sealing?
No. Outdoor porcelain paving has an extremely low water absorption rate and does not normally require sealing. Some customers may choose to apply a porcelain-specific sealer to assist with routine cleaning, but this is entirely optional.
Is porcelain paving slippery when wet?
Outdoor porcelain paving is specifically manufactured with an anti-slip surface suitable for external use. Most outdoor porcelain paving products carry an R11 slip rating, providing excellent grip underfoot in both wet and dry conditions.
