How to Install Porcelain Paving Slabs Correctly?
For a typical UK pedestrian patio, porcelain paving should normally be installed over approximately 100 mm of well-compacted MOT Type 1, followed by a full mortar bed around 30–40 mm thick. A suitable slurry primer should be applied across the complete underside of every slab before laying, with consistent external joints of around 5 mm and suitable drainage falls.

How Do You Cut 20 mm Porcelain Paving Slabs?
Twenty-millimetre porcelain paving should be cut using a porcelain-rated diamond blade with a suitable water-cooled cutting system. Wet cutting helps control heat, reduce chipping and produce cleaner edges, while ordinary masonry blades and uncontrolled dry cutting increase the risk of damage. View cutting guide
Where Do Porcelain Paving Slabs Come From?
Porcelain paving slabs are manufactured in several countries, including India, Italy, China and other established ceramic-producing regions. Country of origin can help identify the supply chain, but it should not be treated as a guarantee of quality on its own; product specification, factory standards, slip resistance, water absorption, dimensional consistency and batch control are more important when comparing outdoor paving.

Repeat Orders for the Same Project
If you need to place an additional order for the same project, please let us know in advance so we can check batch consistency where possible. Porcelain paving slabs are batch-produced and slight colour or print variation can occur between production runs. For one continuous paved area, ordering all required material from the same batch in a single order provides the best chance of visual consistency. Repeat orders placed using a different account may not be recognised as linked to the original purchase.
