How does its slip resistance compare to natural stone alternatives?
White porcelain paving with an R11 slip rating offers better slip resistance than many natural stones, especially when wet. Unlike polished limestone or sandstone, which can become slippery, R11-rated porcelain has a textured surface that provides grip even in wet conditions.
Do these tiles fade over time when exposed to sunlight?
What cleaning products are safe to use on these tiles?
Are these tiles compatible with underfloor heating systems?
Can these slabs be cut easily for specific shapes or smaller areas?
Yes, these porcelain slabs can be cut to fit specific shapes or smaller areas using the right tools. A diamond blade or a wet saw is recommended for clean and precise cuts. This allows you to adjust the slabs for edges, corners, or custom designs without damaging their structure.
Are the colours consistent across all slabs, or can there be variations?
The slabs are designed to have a consistent light to mid-grey tone with a subtle sandstone effect. However, slight variations in shade and pattern can occur, as this is part of the natural design to create a more realistic and unique look. These variations add character and help achieve a natural, blended appearance when laid.
Are these slabs resistant to stains from things like food, drinks, or leaves?
Yes, the slabs are stain-resistant due to their porcelain material and non-porous surface. This means liquids, food spills, and organic matter like leaves won’t seep into the slabs, making them easy to clean. For the best results, it’s a good idea to wipe up spills promptly with water and a mild detergent.
Will the surface of quartz porcelain work well in icy or snowy conditions?
The R11 non-slip rating ensures a good level of grip, even in wet conditions. However, like any surface, the slabs can become slippery when covered in ice or heavy snow. It’s recommended to clear the area and use de-icing products if needed to maintain safety during winter months.
How durable are quartz grey pocelain slabs under heavy foot traffic or outdoor furniture?
The slabs are made of high-quality porcelain, which is known for its strength and durability. They can easily handle heavy foot traffic and outdoor furniture without cracking or wearing down. This makes them a reliable choice for busy patios, pathways, and steps.
