The Benefits of Having PrimaPorcelain Paving in Autumn/Winter

outdoor paving, porcelain questions

We have come to expect a lot of rain and snow throughout the autumn and winter months and many porous stone tiles emerge in spring looking a little worse for wear.

PrimaPorcelain products all come with a 10-year guarantee, are frost proof and have been given a unique slip resistance Grip Factor rating so you can purchase paving stones to withstand the many winters to come with confidence.

When you see this symbol on any of our products, it indicates the product has been awarded a Grip Factor of 5. This means the paving has a high-grip surface, reducing the likelihood of you having a fall in your garden this winter due to a slippery surface underfoot.

We have selected some of our favourite tiles that have a Grip Factor of 5, however many others also have this rating so be sure to look for this symbol when browsing tiles across the site.

Modena Tiles & Paving: A Modern Choice from PrimaPorcelain.

indoor tiles, outdoor paving, primaporcelain news

Do you want to create a contemporary look in your house or even your outside living area then our stunning Modena tiles and paving slabs could provide you with the perfect solution.  

Because porcelain has a lower porosity than their stone counterparts, you will never need to worry about stains, moss damage or staining. They are also very hard wearing and will maintain their texture and patterns for a long time to come, as they are particularly resistant to scratches and will not fade when exposed to prolonged sunlight.

These delightful tiles and paving slabs are available in 2 stunning designs: Gunmetal and Platinum.

 

Modena Gun Metal

 

Modena Gunmetal

Our Modena gunmetal tiles get their name from their slightly metallic appearance. These tiles will perfectly enhance any contemporary living space. 

 

Modena gunmetal tiles provide a stunning addition to any modern or classical design projects, and because they are available in 2 thickness's, 1cm and 2cm, these tiles are suitable to be used to add a modern edge to interior or exterior designs.  

 

Modena Platinum

 

Modena Platinum

These tiles are some of our favourites here at PrimaPorcelain. Just by looking at them it is easy to see why. These tiles instantly make any modern living area simply stunning. The light silver/grey hue of these slabs is what sets them apart. The neutral tones make these tiles perfect for both traditional/classical and modern interior and exterior design.

 

Modena Platinum Prima

 

Like the Modena Gunmetal tiles featured above, these slabs are available in 2 thicknesses, so whether you would like to transform your breakfast room into a stylish breakfast bar, or give your outdoor living space a new lease of life, you can be confident that these tiles will look great all day, every day.

Why Porcelain is the Best Choice for Your Patio Paving Project

outdoor paving
 
If you're looking to update your garden, balcony, or another outdoor space, you'll want to select a product that not only looks good, but also provides you with a safe and easy-to-maintain outdoor living area. While there are countless products on the market that can offer you an attractive and stylish result on initial installation, many of these will begin to show signs of wear over time, and may even prove to be unsafe and unstable in adverse weather conditions. 
 
When it comes to planning your patio, you need to keep in mind all the aspects of outdoor life that the material will have to endure, from hot and cold weather to grime and rust. If you are planning on using the area as an outdoor dining space, or for other recreational purposes, it will also have to withstand the risks of stains and scratches.

Here are some of the benefits that porcelain has to offer over other patio materials:

Durability and Lasting Quality - 
No matter what weather it is exposed to, porcelain paving is able to retain its aesthetically pleasing colour and texture, even after constant exposure to the elements. The manufacturing process ensures that it is fade resistant  and is unaffected by the sun's UV, while the low porosity level means that it can easily tolerate sub zero temperatures. It is also a very dense and hard-wearing material, which means that marks from dragging furniture can be wiped away without visible scratching.
 
Safety- 
Thanks to the variety of grip factors, it is also very easy to find a product with the correct texture for safe outdoor use, while the low porosity level also means that the tiles are almost impervious to moisture, making them highly slip-resistant.
 
Simple Installation and Maintenance - 
As well as preventing damage and danger from frost and water, the low porosity level of porcelain paving also secures the tiles from staining issues and dirt build-up. This means that they can easily be maintained with a simple sweep and the occasional clean with warm soapy water. The installation process of 20mm porcelain tiles is also made easier by the fact that they can be dry installed, following the instructions here.

Why Waste Time Sealing Porcelain Tiles?

porcelain questions
Tiles Maintenance
 
Having put a lot of thought and effort into installing your new, tiled flooring, it's only natural that you will want the quality of the finish to last. Unfortunately, there are many issues which can affect your tiles both indoors about outdoors, such as mould, stains and discolouration. In an attempt to avoid these issues, most people invest in expensive sealants, calling for more expense and effort to be put into on your flooring. 
 
At PrimaPorcelain, we strive to deliver quality products that make your home and garden transformations as simple and stress-free as possible, which is why all of the tiles we stock are largely maintenance free. This eliminates the need to use sealants and expensive cleaning products, making the upkeep of your porcelain tiles as simple as possible.
 
Here's why our tiles don't require sealing and extensive cleaning:
  • 0.5% Porosity -  A low porosity level means that your tiles won't absorb dirt and water, making them stain resistant and frostproof!
  • Fade Resistant  - Our tiles are made in such a way that the raw materials cannot be separated, which means that the pigment is preserved inside of the porcelain. This makes it resistant to UV fading and other normal weathering. 
To see the full list of benefits which come from investing in our porcelain tiles, click here. We have also published an easy to follow guide which tells you how to clean your tiles, a straightforward and low-budget process which is explained here.

1. Beautiful, Fluffy Rugs

We really like the texture and colour of this one from TheRugSeller, and we think it would look great with our Alpine Oak Natural wood effect tiles.
 

2. Minimal Christmas Trees 

Forget big, green pine trees, the new essential for the modern home at Christmas are these lovely, minimal designs. Whether you prefer the winter-touched twig effect or rustic wood arrangements, there are some lovely ones to choose from on the market at the moment, from both big brands and individual sellers.

We love this beautiful grey twig, light-up tree and these adorable oak designs, both from Notonthehighstreet. We think that either of them would perfectly compliment our bright Italian Limestone Ivory tiles, as well as the lovely muted grey of our Italian Limestone Mushroom paving.

3. Golden, Glamorous Candles 
Candles add instant warmth and Christmas cheer to any room, but some of the ones on sale right now are just too beautiful and luxurious to burn! Whether or not you end up lighting them, Christmas candles are an excellent way to transform any space into a welcoming, winter wonderland.

Prima Candles     
 
This pair of glittering, golden candles from John Lewis would look great by the fireside, and would make a fabulous addition to your  Christmas dinner table. They're ideal for the person who loves the glitzy, party aspects of the season, and would match perfectly with some of our warmer tiles such as our Italian Limestone Honey paving.
