Porcelain tiles exemplify the rare harmony of enduring strength and sophistication, pushing the boundaries of what surface design can achieve. Leveraging the latest innovations in manufacturing, porcelain now artfully mirrors the textures and tones of natural materials, from marble’s timeless luxury, the industrial edge of poured concrete and the organic elegance of quarried stone. Yet beyond their visual appeal lies a foundation of extraordinary resilience, positioning porcelain as the material of choice for environments where aesthetics and performance must coexist.

Unrivalled Strength & Lasting Durability

Crafted from exceptionally pure clays and minerals, porcelain is subjected to intense pressure and fired at temperatures nearing 1250ºC. This process results in a fully vitrified structure with an exceptionally low water absorption rate, making porcelain not only denser but significantly harder than even granite. Surface designs, like marble or stone effects, are added using high-definition digital printing before the final firing. The result is a durable, beautiful tile that mimics natural materials but with far greater performance and consistency. Its superior resistance to scratches, chips and surface wear makes it a natural fit for the most demanding environments from car showrooms to outdoor driveways and beyond.

Tailored for High-Traffic Demands

Unlike many traditional surfaces, porcelain tiles are through-bodied or full-bodied, meaning their colour and texture run throughout the tile, not just on the surface. This ensures that the appearance remains pristine over time, even under heavy footfall. It’s no surprise that porcelain is the preferred surface in high-traffic commercial and public spaces such as airports, transport hubs, luxury retail stores, hospitality venues, office buildings and educational institutions.

Engineered for the Elements

Built to endure, porcelain tiles are inherently frost-resistant and unaffected by fluctuating temperatures, making them the material of choice for outdoor installations. Whether used for terraces, pool decks, building façades or hard landscaping in cold climates, porcelain offers unmatched weather resistance without compromising on visual appeal or maintenance ease.

Frost Resistant

Impervious to Water, Effortless to Maintain

Porcelain’s low porosity means it is virtually impermeable to water. Unlike natural stone, it requires no sealing and resists water damage even under extreme conditions. In flood-prone areas, porcelain surfaces can be simply dried and cleaned, eliminating the need for costly replacements. It’s also one of the most effective materials for underfloor heating, thanks to its excellent thermal conductivity and heat retention.

The non-porous nature of porcelain not only prevents the absorption of moisture but also inhibits bacterial growth, making it a highly hygienic choice for sensitive environments. Its resistance to staining and corrosion from acids, alkalis and aggressive cleaning agents ensures that it remains a reliable, low-maintenance solution in clinics, laboratories, wellness facilities and anywhere that demands a rigorously clean and safe surface.

Outdoor Applications

With their practical, non-slip surface and incredible strength, 20 mm porcelain slabs have become the ideal laying solution for external applications and driveways. 100% frostresistant and suitable for sub-zero temperatures means that these tiles can be used for driveways and walkways, as well as for swimming pools surrounds and hard landscaping. They are also entirely resistant to stains, mould and moss, meaning their finish will remain as beautiful as the day it was laid.

20 mm porcelain slabs also provide tremendous versatility, as they can be laid on virtually any outdoor surface and be fixed with a variety of different methods to suit the application. Adhesive free installation techniques allow for dismantling, maintenance and repositioning of porcelain slabs. The following pages document the various laying options for grass, sand, gravel and screed as well as for using a raised pedestal system.

Why porcelain truly reigns in modern surfaces.

Porcelain tiles are not merely a practical choice, they are a declaration of enduring quality and sophisticated design. In an age where materials must meet ever-higher standards of performance and beauty, porcelain continues to set the benchmark. It is this rare balance of resilience, refinement and versatility that explains why porcelain truly reigns in modern surfaces, offering an unparalleled solution for those who demand both style and substance in every space they create.
