Laying Porcelain Properly

Porcelain needs a different method to natural stone. Because it is so dense, mortar does not grip it on its own. A priming slurry is painted on the back of every slab first. Cuts are made with diamond blades. These steps stop slabs coming loose and keep the edges clean and sharp.

Styles That Suit Every Home

Porcelain comes in many finishes, including stone, slate, concrete and wood effects. Light colours suit modern homes and shady gardens. Darker shades hide dirt well. Large slabs give a clean, open look with fewer joints, and matching steps and coping can carry the style through the garden.

How do I clean a porcelain patio in Alton?
