Vitrified Porcelain Paving, is it any good?
While laying vitrified porcelain paving tiles does take a little more work than standard patio flagstone slabs, but their great looks and long term benefits mean that you’re sure to find that it’s worth the extra effort. Vitrified porcelain paving slabs are extremely tough so they will avoid the stains and scratches that could ruin the appearance of your patio. You will also find this paving option to not be as expensive as initially perceived, with most choices around the same price you would find natural stone paving option which makes these outdoor tiles a very viable paving option.
What are the benefits?
When looking at pro's and cons of porcelain paving, the benefits are many and a lot of this can be attributed to the man made process which makes this paving non-porous. They are also less likely to crack in cold and wet weather and the slip-resistant finish of porcelain tiles is highly resistant to frost, moss and algae. This helps to keep your patio looking good as new for longer and also gives them a slip-resistant finish that’s ideal for busy patios and walkways. And it also means that they’re easier to clean so there’s less work needed to keep your patio looking great!

Do Porcelain Paving Slabs Stain?
There will always be porcelain paving pro's and con's but one of the best features of vitrified porcelain slabs is it's incredible stain resistance. Unlike natural stone paving options which tend to stain very easily and usually require aftercare products to help maintain them, porcelain has a very high stain resistant threshold, to the point that if engine oil is spilt onto the surface of exterior porcelain paving, you can simply simply wipe it up and clean it off with some water and it will look as good as new.
