## Yes, our porcelain paving is designed for outdoor use, and is generally frost-proof and slip-resistant to suit the demands of outdoor living.
Yes, our porcelain paving is designed for outdoor use, and is generally frost-proof and slip-resistant to suit the demands of outdoor living.
Many of our porcelain ranges offer both a standard indoor thickness and a paving thickness, usually 2cm, for outdoor use, while keeping the same finish across both. This means you can use the same design indoors and out and get a consistent look.
As a general rule for porcelain, tiles under 2cm thick usually need to be laid on a concrete base. This gives the tile a strong, even surface to sit on, so it doesn't crack under pressure or movement in the ground beneath it. Porcelain tiles 2cm thick or over are strong and versatile enough to be laid without a concrete base.
This rule applies to porcelain. Natural stone paving has its own requirements, which vary by material; check the specific product page or speak to your tiler or project consultant.
