Outdoor Porcelain Tiles

Porcelain Paving Decoded (by Royale Stones)

Porcelain paving is increasingly gaining popularity in the UK market. Here is some relevant information we would like to share about outdoor porcelain tiles.

1. High Strength

Porcelain is produced using a selection of raw materials like white clay, quartz, etc., pressing to 4600 tons (400kg/cm2), firing at 1200-1250 degrees for 90 minutes and rectifying. This gives it the breaking strength of over 9500N making them suitable for outdoors, even in areas with high foot traffic.

2. Low Water Absorption

The market standard is less than 0.50%. All our outdoor porcelain tiles meet that standard with majority of them comes with a water absorption rate of below 0.2% and that’s what makes us one of the most prominent supplier of outdoor porcelain paving slabs in the UK.

Big Advantages of Low Water Absorption Rate in Outdoor Porcelain

The low water absorption rate makes it hard for the stains and marks to penetrate the surface, which means easier maintenance.

Anti-Slip Rating - R11 (What it Means)

Since we live is a country where it rains a lot, it's vital that the product used outdoors have a good anti-slip rating.

All our non slip exterior floor tiles come with a R11 slip rating, which makes them ideal for outdoor areas.

3. Designing

"Art lies in the details", without good designs, the specs become futile.

5. Consistency of Royale Stones Outdoor Tiles & Porcelain Paving

Porcelain is a man-made product, which makes it very consistent when it comes to size and thickness tolerance. The same consistency can be seen with the subtle (thanks to the designing team) variation adding the character to the surface of paving slabs, giving them the natural look whilst maintaining the merits of 20mm porcelain paving slabs or 20mm porcelain tiles.

Outdoor Porcelain Paving vs Granite Paving
(By Royale Stones)

	Granite Paving	Porcelain Paving
Maintenance	Granite paving just like most other natural stones comes with a much higher water absorption rate in comparison to outdoor porcelain paving, which requires regular sealing and maintenance otherwise risks staining.	The very low water absorption rate makes it easier to maintain the outdoor porcelain paving slabs.
Variety & Designs	The variety and colours available are limited in granite paving. This is due to the fact the textured finish is the only option to make granite anti-slip.	On the other hand, when it comes to outdoor porcelain paving slabs, the sky is the limit as customers can choose from slate to marble effect, concrete to wood effect and much more.
Anti-Slip Rating	Our granite paving slabs comes with flamed (textured) finish, which makes them non-slip and suitable for external areas.	All Royale Stones outdoor porcelain paving slabs come R11 anti-slip rated, which also makes them perfectly suitable for outdoors.
Strength –	20mm granite paving slabs not only possess good strength, but are also frost resistant, making them suitable for garden and landscaping.	20mm outdoor porcelain tiles possess superior strength in comparison to natural granite. All our outdoor porcelain tiles are frost resistant.
