Porcelain Paving

Porcelain paving has become one of the most popular choices for British gardens, valued for its durability, low maintenance and broad design appeal. All London Stone outdoor porcelain is 20mm thick, rated R11 for slip resistance and supplied with a 10-year homeowner guarantee.

Our range is organised around tier, format and finish. Our main porcelain paving collection is sourced from established Italian manufacturers and includes bestsellers like Florence Beige, Florence Grey and Jura Beige. For a more accessible price point, our cheap porcelain paving range from India delivers the same 20mm, R11 specification as our main collection, from around £34 per m².

Format sets the tone. 600x600 squares suit smaller, traditional spaces, while large patio slabs at 900x600 and 1200x600, along with 800x800 large slabs, sit at the heart of contemporary garden design. The move to oversized formats has been the biggest structural trend of recent seasons, reducing visible jointing and giving even modest gardens a calm, high-end feel. Long-format plank porcelain and porcelain setts work well as borders, paths or in mixed-material schemes.

Colour anchors the whole look. Grey porcelain paving remains the UK's most popular choice, though warm, natural tones are steadily replacing cool grey. Egyptian Beige in particular was chosen by Garden House Design as the backdrop for their 5-star award-winning stand at RHS Chelsea. Beige porcelain paving brings that same warmth to any garden, while light porcelain opens up shaded spaces and dark porcelain grounds a contemporary look. Wood-effect porcelain paving gives the look of decking without the upkeep, and our stone-effect porcelain range combines the character of natural stone with the practicality of porcelain.
