Porcelain Paving Installation in Whitstable
We provide professional porcelain paving installation for patios, pathways and outdoor areas throughout Whitstable. Porcelain delivers uniform colour retention, minimal upkeep demands and exceptional long-term durability that conventional paving materials cannot replicate.
Porcelain paving is ideal for various garden areas in Whitstable, including:
- Patios and seating areas – The non-porous surface effectively resists staining from food, beverages and furniture impressions
- Pathways and walkways – Maintains its appearance indefinitely without fading or discolouration over time
- Pool and spa surrounds – R11-rated varieties deliver superior slip resistance in wet conditions
Porcelain requires distinct groundwork preparation compared to natural stone. We install using either a concrete base with adhesive fixing or a pedestal system for elevated applications like roof terraces. The concrete base approach involves laying a 100mm reinforced slab, followed by fixing tiles using flexible adhesive and grouting with specialist compounds to guarantee proper bonding of the porcelain.
We consistently recommend resin grout for porcelain installations, as it offers flexibility, exceptional weather resistance, and can be colour-matched to create contrast with the porcelain tiles.
For patio areas, we can utilize a sand/cement bed installation comparable to natural stone methods, although the adhesive technique delivers superior long-term stability. Installation duration typically ranges from 2 to 4 days for a standard patio from commencement to completion on average.
In addition to porcelain tiling, we provide alternative surfacing options for your patio, including paving, sandstone installations, and limestone.
