Porcelain Paving Installation in Canterbury
We install porcelain paving for patios, pathways and outdoor areas in Canterbury. Porcelain offers consistent colour, minimal maintenance requirements and long-term durability that standard slabbing can’t match.
Porcelain paving suits most garden areas in Canterbury, including:
- Patios and seating areas – Non-porous surface resists staining from food, drinks and furniture marks
- Pathways and walkways – Won’t fade or discolour over time, maintain appearance indefinitely
- Pool and spa surrounds – R11-rated options provide excellent slip resistance when wet
Porcelain needs different groundwork than natural stone. We install on either a concrete base with adhesive fixing or a pedestal system for raised applications such as roof terraces. The concrete base method involves laying a 100mm reinforced slab, then fixing tiles with flexible adhesive and grouting with specialist compounds to ensure proper bonding of the porcelain.
We always recommend a resin grout for porcelain, as it’s flexible, highly weather-resistant, and can be coloured to contrast with the porcelain tiles.
For patios, we can use a sand/cement bed installation similar to natural stone, though the adhesive method provides better long-term stability. Installation typically takes between 2 to 4 days for a standard patio from start to finish on average.
Along with porcelain tiling, we offer other surfacing options for your patio, including paving, sandstone installations, and limestone.
