Porcelain Paving Installation in Dover
We provide professional porcelain paving installation for patios, pathways and outdoor areas throughout Dover. Porcelain delivers uniform colour retention, low maintenance demands and exceptional long-term performance that conventional paving materials simply cannot replicate.
Porcelain paving is ideal for various outdoor spaces in Dover, including:
- Patios and seating areas – The non-porous surface effectively resists staining from food, beverages and furniture contact
- Pathways and walkways – Maintains original appearance indefinitely without fading or colour deterioration
- Pool and spa surrounds – R11-rated varieties deliver superior slip resistance in wet conditions
Porcelain requires distinct groundwork preparation compared to natural stone. We install using either a concrete base with adhesive fixing or a pedestal system for elevated applications like roof terraces. The concrete base approach requires laying a 100mm reinforced concrete slab, followed by fixing tiles using flexible adhesive and grouting with specialist compounds to guarantee proper porcelain bonding.
We consistently recommend resin grout for porcelain installations, as it offers flexibility, excellent weather resistance, and can be colour-matched to complement or contrast with your porcelain tiles.
For patio areas, we can utilize a sand/cement bed installation method comparable to natural stone, although the adhesive technique delivers superior long-term stability. A standard patio installation typically requires 2 to 4 days from commencement to completion.
Alongside porcelain tiling, we provide additional surfacing solutions for your patio, including paving, sandstone installations, and limestone.
