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
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 for smaller projects, patios, pathways, or topping up an existing order.
Please note:
- Split packs are available on selected products only
- Mixed-size porcelain paving packs cannot be split
- Delivery is included in the product price
- Orders are securely repacked onto pallets for safe UK delivery
Ordering Advice
When calculating how much paving you need, we recommend adding 10% extra coverage to allow for cuts, breakages, and spare slabs during installation.
Mixed-size project packs can only be split by square metre, not by individual slab sizes.

Before beginning your project, it’s recommended to order 10–15% more porcelain paving than your calculated area to allow for cuts, waste, or unexpected breakages during installation.
Porcelain paving tiles are batch-coded, which means there may be subtle variables in print, shade, and tone between different production runs. When your order arrives, always check and record the batch codes printed on the boxes. This will make it easier to match the same batch in the future if additional tiles are required. However, because matching batches is not always guaranteed, it’s best practice to order all the paving you’ll need for the entire project at once.
Handling and Installation
Porcelain tiles are extremely durable once installed but can chip if mishandled before laying. Take care when unpacking and moving each slab.
Before laying, it’s essential to apply a porcelain primer or slurry mix to the underside of every tile. This step ensures a strong bond between the tile and the mortar bed, as porcelain is a non-porous material that doesn’t absorb traditional cement easily. The slurry should be applied just before placing each slab into position.
To maintain even and consistent joints, use tile spacers between slabs throughout the installation process. This will help achieve a professional, uniform appearance.
Grouting
Once the paving is fully laid and set, the joints should be filled with a porcelain-specific grout in your chosen colour. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully to achieve a neat, durable finish.
When applying grout, it’s important to remove any residue from the surface promptly, as dried grout can leave a haze that is difficult to remove. To reduce this risk, you may wish to use a pre-grout sealer designed for porcelain paving, which helps prevent grout haze and simplifies cleaning.
Sealing
Unlike natural stone, porcelain paving does not require sealing, as it has a vitrified, non-porous surface that resists stains, moisture, and frost. However, you may choose to seal the grout joints for added protection against algae growth and staining.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Porcelain paving is exceptionally low-maintenance. Because it is non-absorbent, it resists staining from common outdoor substances such as oil, grease, or organic matter. Regular sweeping and occasional washing with warm soapy water or a neutral pH porcelain cleaner are usually all that’s required to keep it looking fresh.
Avoid harsh chemical or acidic cleaners. If stubborn marks appear, use a product specifically formulated for porcelain tiles. Power washing can be used occasionally, but always maintain a safe distance to avoid damaging grout joints.
Efflorescence
Porcelain tiles are not affected by efflorescence in the same way as natural stone can be, as they are non-porous. However, efflorescence may appear on the grout joints, which can be cleaned using a specialist efflorescence remover that is safe for porcelain surfaces.
Jointing
For jointing porcelain paving, use an exterior-grade brush-in jointing compound or a porcelain tile grout recommended by the manufacturer. Light-coloured jointing compounds are best suited for light tiles to avoid edge staining. Always follow the product’s instructions carefully.
Seasonal Care
Porcelain is frost-proof and resistant to algae, making it ideal for the UK climate. In autumn and winter, remove fallen leaves promptly to prevent surface debris buildup. Periodic cleaning in spring will refresh the tiles and maintain their original colour and slip resistance.
Long-Term Performance
Porcelain outdoor tiles are designed for decades of use. Their fade-resistant colour, anti-slip surface (typically R11 or R12 rated), and high strength make them a practical and stylish choice for patios, pathways, and outdoor entertaining areas. With minimal maintenance, your porcelain paving will continue to look stunning year after year.
