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 โbatch colour codeโ 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 isnโt guaranteed. Therefore, we encourage ordering sufficient quantities initially to maintain uniformity in your project.
Split packs
Split Packs Available
We offer split packs on selected paving products, including natural stone paving (sandstone, Limestone, slate, granite) and our best-selling 600×900 porcelain paving. This allows you to order the exact square metre coverage you need, helping you avoid the cost and waste of buying a full pack.
This option is ideal forย smaller projects, patios, pathways, or topping up an existing order.

INSTALLATION GUIDE โ 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:
โข Shade
โข Tone
โข Surface pattern
โข Texture variation
For the best visual result:
โข Ensure all packs are from the same batch where possible
โข Blend slabs from multiple packs during installation
โข 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:
โข Measure the area carefully
โข Allow an additional 10โ15% for cuts and wastage
โข Plan the paving layout in advance
โข Incorporate suitable drainage falls
Recommended fall:
1:60 to 1:80 (approximately 1โ2%)
SUB-BASE PREPARATION
A strong and stable foundation is essential.
Recommended build-up:
โข Excavate to the required depth
โข Install a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base
โข Lay a full wet mortar bed
The base must be:
โข Fully compacted
โข Stable and level
โข Free from movement
โข 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:
โข Apply a full coat of porcelain primer
โข Ensure complete coverage
โข 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:
โข Use a full wet mortar bed
โข Maintain consistent joint widths
โข Use tile spacers where required
โข Check levels regularly
โข Maintain adequate drainage falls
Recommended joint width:
3โ5mm 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:
โข Wet saw with porcelain diamond blade
โข High-quality porcelain cutting disc
Using unsuitable tools may result in:
โข Chipping
โข Poor-quality cuts
โข 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:
โข Follow grout manufacturer instructions
โข Remove excess residue immediately
โข Avoid allowing grout haze to dry on the surface
IMPORTANT NOTES
โข Blend slabs from multiple packs during installation
โข Batch variation is normal within porcelain paving products
โข Wet paving may appear darker or richer in tone than when dry
โข Installed slabs are deemed accepted
โข 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 โ 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:
โข Warm soapy water
โข A soft brush or broom
โข 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 manufacturerโs 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:
โข Use moderate pressure only
โข Keep the lance moving continuously
โข Maintain a suitable distance from the paving surface
โข 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:
โข Assist with routine cleaning
โข Help reduce surface residue build-up
โข Provide additional protection in high-traffic areas
If sealing is chosen:
โข Ensure the paving is clean and completely dry
โข Use a sealer specifically designed for porcelain paving
โข Follow the manufacturerโs 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:
โข Cleaning products are suitable for porcelain paving
โข Manufacturer guidance is followed
โข 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:
โข Metal garden furniture
โข BBQs
โข Plant pots with metal bases
โข Steel tools and equipment
โข Decorative metal ornaments
We recommend:
โข Using protective feet or pads beneath metal furniture
โข Avoiding prolonged contact with rusty objects
โข 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:
โข Remove leaves and organic debris regularly
โข Avoid using metal tools directly on the paving surface
โข Use porcelain-safe de-icing products if required
โข 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
โข Wet porcelain paving may appear slightly darker in colour than when dry
โข Minor installation residue may be visible immediately after installation
โข Always test cleaning products in an inconspicuous area first
โข Avoid abrasive pads, wire brushes or harsh chemical treatments
โข Follow all manufacturer recommendations for cleaning products and sealers
