Porcelain paving FAQs

Got a question around our outdoor porcelain tiles? Take a look at our frequently asked questions below or contact us directly to speak with one of our tiling experts:

How are porcelain tiles made?

The best porcelain slabs (such as those we sell at Stone Superstore) are made by baking a mixture of clay, sand, and minerals in a mould at extremely high temperatures to eliminate nearly 100% moisture. Once cooled, porcelain paving slabs are then ground and polished to a smooth finish, ready for you to buy!

Are outdoor porcelain tiles slip resistant?

Absolutely! Outdoor porcelain slabs are made to be resistant to all forms of moisture with their R11 rating, including against rain and water splashes, making them perfect if you’re thinking of splashing out on a swimming pool or outdoor hot tub.

Why are porcelain slabs more durable than natural stone?

Porcelain paving is widely considered more durable than traditional natural stone because of the way it’s made. In a large portion of cases, natural stone can be quite porous. This allows moisture to seep in, which can then cause them to stain or promote mould growth.

On top of this, the way porcelain slabs are made and sealed gives them a greater degree of protection against temperature changes, reducing the likelihood that they might crack or fracture at extreme temperatures.

Can I use porcelain tiles outside?

If the tiles you’re using are specifically outdoor porcelain tiles, then yes, this won’t be a problem. However, you should avoid using indoor porcelain outside as outdoor paving tiles require a deeper thickness. If you are after consistent tiling between your home and garden, then be sure to browse our indoor and outdoor porcelain tiles.

Is porcelain paving cheaper than stone?

In many cases, porcelain paving is the same price if not cheaper than natural stone, making it a good option for someone renovating their garden on a budget. Not only that, but porcelain is much cheaper in the long run because of its lower maintenance costs.

What porcelain paving sizes do we have available?

Our porcelain paving slabs are available in a range of considered sizes to suit a variety of garden layouts and design styles. The classic 900 x 600mm format remains a popular choice for its versatility, lending well to both modern and traditional outdoor settings while being especially effective for indoor-outdoor floor designs. 

Selected outdoor slab ranges are also available in a large-format 1200 x 600mm paving size, ideal for creating a clean style with fewer grout lines and an expansive finished look. Alternatively, our 600 x 600mm slabs capture the same sleek, uniform feel in a smaller size for compact patios and courtyard spaces.
