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.
Please note:
- Split packs are available onย selected products only
- Mixed-size porcelain paving packs cannot be split
- Delivery is included in the product price
- Orders areย securely repacked onto pallets for safe UK delivery
Ordering Advice

Benefits of Almond Beige Porcelain Paving
Premium Quality Outdoor Porcelain
Porcelain paving slabs are precision manufactured to deliver a high-end finish with consistent colour and texture across every tile. The result is a sleek and modern patio surface that enhances any outdoor living space.
Ideal for Contemporary Garden Design
With clean edges and refined tones, Almond Beige porcelain tiles are perfect for modern patios, minimalist gardens, and stylish outdoor entertaining spaces.
Low Maintenance Patio Solution
Unlike natural stone, porcelain paving slabs are non-porous, meaning they resist dirt, algae, and staining. Cleaning typically requires nothing more than warm water and a mild detergent.
Frost & Weather Resistant
Porcelain paving is highly resistant to frost damage, temperature changes, and UV fading, making it perfectly suited to the UK climate.
Long-Lasting Outdoor Paving
Porcelain patio slabs maintain their colour and texture for many years with minimal upkeep, making them a durable and cost-effective investment for your garden.
Versatile Outdoor Applications
These paving slabs are suitable for a wide range of landscaping projects including patios, terraces, courtyards, pool areas, and garden pathways.
How to Lay Porcelain Paving Slabs
Correct installation is essential for a long-lasting porcelain paving patio. Outdoor porcelain paving should be laid onto a stable, well-compacted base, on a full mortar bed, with the underside of every tile coated with a suitable porcelain primer or slurry primer. If you are laying the popular format, browse our 600mm x 900mm porcelain paving range.
1. Prepare the sub-base for porcelain paving
Excavate to the required depth and install a well-compacted Type 1 sub-base suitable for the site conditions and intended use. Plan the finished levels before laying and create a consistent fall away from buildings so surface water can drain correctly.
2. Lay porcelain paving on a full mortar bed
Porcelain paving slabs should be supported across the whole underside of the tile. Lay them on a full, consistent mortar bed rather than spot bedding. Avoid leaving voids beneath the paving, as inadequate support can contribute to movement or cracking.
3. Does porcelain paving need primer?
Yes. Porcelain has extremely low water absorption, so ordinary mortar does not readily bond to the back of the tile. Coat the entire underside immediately before laying with a suitable porcelain paving primer or slurry primer, following the primer manufacturer's instructions.
4. Create the correct fall and drainage
Porcelain is virtually non-porous, so rainwater needs to run off the finished surface. Lay the patio to a suitable, consistent fall and make sure water is directed away from buildings and towards an appropriate drainage point.
5. Leave consistent joints between porcelain slabs
Do not butt porcelain tiles tightly together. Use suitable spacers where required and maintain consistent joints across the patio. The joint width must also be compatible with the outdoor grout or jointing product you intend to use.
6. How to cut 20mm porcelain paving
Outdoor 20mm porcelain is extremely hard. Use suitable cutting equipment and a quality diamond porcelain cutting blade. Support the tile correctly, measure cuts carefully and use the appropriate eye, hearing and respiratory protection when cutting.
7. Grouting and jointing porcelain paving
Allow the installation to cure sufficiently before jointing. Use a porcelain grout or jointing compound specifically suitable for exterior porcelain paving and the chosen joint width. Work cleanly and remove residue from the face of the tiles in accordance with the product manufacturer's instructions.
Before laying your porcelain paving
Check the paving before installation and open several packs so tiles can be mixed as work progresses. Porcelain is batch coded and natural-looking printed designs include intentional variation in tone and pattern. Different production batches can also vary, so we recommend ordering the complete project requirement together, including an allowance for cuts, selection and wastage.
Important: Installation requirements vary with ground conditions, drainage, site use and the products being used. If you are unsure, use an experienced paving installer and follow the instructions supplied with your bedding, primer and jointing products.
How to Clean and Maintain Porcelain Paving
Outdoor porcelain paving is popular because it requires relatively little ongoing maintenance. Its very low water absorption makes the surface highly resistant to moisture, frost and everyday staining, but regular cleaning will keep a porcelain patio looking its best.
How to clean porcelain paving
Sweep the patio regularly to remove leaves, soil and loose garden debris. For routine washing, use clean warm water with a cleaner suitable for porcelain paving where required. Rinse the surface thoroughly so loosened dirt and cleaning residue are removed.
Removing algae, dirt and stubborn marks
For heavier dirt, algae or organic staining, use a specialist porcelain paving cleaner. Follow the cleaner manufacturer's dilution and application instructions and test any unfamiliar product on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Can you pressure wash porcelain paving?
Yes, porcelain paving can generally be pressure washed. Use sensible pressure and keep the nozzle moving. Avoid concentrating a powerful jet directly into the joints, as this may damage or dislodge some grout and jointing products.
Does porcelain paving need sealing?
Porcelain paving does not normally need to be sealed. Unlike porous natural stone, porcelain has extremely low water absorption. Applying an unnecessary sealer can leave unwanted surface residue, so only use a treatment specifically recommended for the porcelain product and purpose.
Removing grout or installation residue
Mortar, grout and installation residue should be removed as work progresses rather than being allowed to harden on the tile face. If a specialist post-installation cleaner is required, make sure it is suitable for porcelain and compatible with the grout or jointing material.
Winter maintenance for porcelain patios
Outdoor porcelain is highly frost resistant. During autumn and winter, remove fallen leaves and organic debris regularly, as prolonged debris can encourage algae and make any outdoor surface more slippery.
Porcelain paving care FAQs
Is porcelain paving low maintenance?
Yes. Routine sweeping and occasional washing are normally sufficient, with specialist cleaning used for stubborn marks when required.
Can porcelain paving stain?
Porcelain is highly stain resistant, but spills and installation residues should still be cleaned promptly rather than left on the surface.
Should I use brick acid on porcelain paving?
Do not use a cleaner simply because it is described as brick or patio acid. Use a cleaning product specifically confirmed as suitable for porcelain and for the type of residue being removed, and follow its instructions carefully.
