The quality and durability of Prima Porcelain's products mean that they lend themselves easily to both indoor and outdoor use, which makes them the ideal choice if you're thinking of unifying a space with matching tiles. This is a great way to give your home a sense of synchronicity, and works particularly well in rooms that directly overlook your garden. With matching tiles, you will be able to achieve a smooth and seamless transition between two spaces, amounting to a sleek and attractive finish.

Porcelain Decking: Tiles That Look Like Wood!

 

From decking to stone paving to artificial turf, there are many different ways to floor a balcony. Still, we feel that porcelain paving is the best choice of all – our porcelain slabs are sturdy, water-resistant, and very beautiful indeed!

One customer in Berkshire certainly agreed with this point of view. They ordered 39m² of our beautiful Limestone Champagne paving for their balcony, and the results are really rather stunning!

Here’s a ‘Before and After’ photo:

What a transformation! Not so long ago, the balcony was a grimy, grubby-looking thing, with weeds poking between the paving stones and a rather tired appearance in general. But now that our porcelain products have worked their magic, the balcony is all but unrecognisable. The champagne-coloured tiles look fabulous as usual, bringing a hint of classical decadence to the customer's outdoor space, and that beautiful white balustrade looks perfect alongside them!

And it’s the perfect time for it, too – we’re right at the height of summer now, and we’re positive that the view from this client’s balcony is absolutely astounding in the Berkshire sunshine!

Both decking and paving are extremely popular choices for the back garden, but it's somewhat rare to see a garden design that utilises both. A lot of landscaping enthusiasts think of this as an either/or decision, but deck boards and paving slabs will quite happily go together, and if you're after a stunningly unique look for your outdoor space, this is definitely a tactic worth considering.

But how best to combine these two contrasting materials? Here are a few ideas...

Multiple Levels

This is the strategy that our architect deployed when designing the garden in the photo above. The doors open out onto a stylish paved patio, with a raised deck just beyond. This two-tier look is very appealing indeed, making the whole garden feel larger and, in a way, giving you two equally beautiful outdoor spaces for the price of one.

Keep 'Em Separated

If you've got a reasonably big garden, you may consider splitting it into different sections. Instead of sticking with that large, blank patch of lawn, you could install a small seating area at one end of the garden, and a nice little patio at the other. You could even have a hot tub in the corner - both composite wood and porcelain paving make great slip-resistant tub surrounds!

Blended Together

This approach is a little trickier, but the results are well worth the effort. We found the above image on Pinterest, and it's the perfect example: the duality of that design makes for a smooth, elegant outdoor living space. Mind you, you'll have to cut your boards and pavers quite precisely if you want to create that flawless transition between them.

No matter what you have in mind for your outdoor space, we at PrimaPorcelain can help. In addition to our spectacular porcelain paving products, we are also able to supply low-maintenance deck boards, and if you want to use one or both of these materials in your garden, our experienced in-house architect will be more than happy to help with the design.
