Budget Porcelain Garden Tiles - Quality and Value for Money

April 04, 2023

Our Budget Porcelain garden tiles have had starring roles in award-winning show gardens. We look at how garden designers and landscapers have also put them to work in real life.

Thames Valley Landscapes chose Cream Porcelain garden tiles to bring light into this design.

About our Budget Porcelain paving

In paving formats you might expect only in more expensive ranges, and made in India and Italy to our exacting standards, our Budget Porcelain garden tiles offer value for money with no compromise on looks. You will, of course, find favourite tile sizes 600x600mm and 900x600mm, but our Budget Porcelain also offers great flexibility, with plank paving, setts and 1200x600mm outdoor tiles available as standard in various colours. Some colours are also available as project (or patio) packs, giving traditional paving patterns a modern twist. It is this versatility that has led to its popularity with designers and landscapers. And you can be confident in its quality. The Italian porcelain garden tiles in this range are made to exactly the same standards and with the same materials as our Luxury and Premium porcelain paving. Like all our porcelain outdoor tiles, the Indian Porcelain paving in our Budget range gives you peace of mind with our 10-Year Guarantee.

Be inspired by designs using our Budget porcelain

Lynn Cordall used Light Grey Porcelain planks for her Gold-winning garden at GW Live 2021.

Award-winning quality

Garden designer Lynn Cordall chose Light Grey porcelain plank paving for her Gold-winning show garden, The Power of Flowers to Impress, at Gardener’s World Live, 2021. The narrow format and grouting lines running across the space make the seating area feel larger. Our Budget range includes plank paving in the most popular colours and is a great opportunity to add a different element to your garden. This narrow format is unavailable in our other ranges unless you seek wood-effect planks. Find more ideas for how to use plank paving.

Ash Beige Porcelain garden tiles from our Budget range has been combined here in a geometrical pattern with Amersham Clay Pavers to create contrasting colour and texture by Bark Brick & Block.

Precision-cut edges

In the above scheme, the 900x600mm paving format of our Ash Beige porcelain makes generous stepping stones for the path in the lawn, as well as a strong textural contrast with clay pavers in this contemporary paving scheme. Like all our porcelain, our Budget garden tiles have rectified edges, which gives paving will the crisp, narrow jointing lines that are so important for that modern vibe.

Popular colours

The stepping-stone theme was given a “twist” in the garden above, creating paths with a different dynamic. And the diamond-shape makes a striking contrast with the smooth curve of the patio. Grey porcelain paving is always popular and our Budget range offers a wide selection of tones and styles. Kandla Grey porcelain offers a gentle, consistent variation of tones to emulate Indian sandstone. This design also shows that our pocket-friendly priced porcelain offers the quality that gives a precise edge when cutting the slabs to the desired shape.

Kandla Grey Porcelain paving combines the colours and markings of the popular Indian sandstone with a modern finish, giving crisp lines to this project by Zoomscapes Design and Build.

Steps and Coping

In the design above, Polished Concrete pencil round copings help integrate the stone-clad raised bed fully into the design. Our Budget Porcelain paving is accompanied by a full range of steps and copings, a luxury touch to this value-for-money range. Edge profiles include 40mm downstand, ideal to emphasise rectilinear designs, as well as 20mm and 40mm bullnose for a classic feel.

Moore Garden Services chose Cream porcelain setts to give a modern feel to a traditional paving pattern.

Porcelain setts extend design options

Within our ranges, porcelain setts are exclusive to our Budget collection, making it particularly versatile. Use setts for edging, pattern and, as above, a traditionally laid path. See how designing with porcelain setts can give stunning results.
