Porcelain Paving

Create a beautiful outside oasis you can be proud of with porcelain paving

Make the most of outdoor spaces and turn garden goals into a reality with our exclusive collection of porcelain paving.

If you’re new to outdoor tiles, you may be asking the question can you use porcelain tiles outside? Well the answer is Yes! The increased thickness of porcelain paving tiles allow them to support much heavier loads and cope with extreme weather conditions.

Outdoor porcelain paving is very versatile and can be used to create a stunning modern outdoor patio, transform gardens, back yards, terraces and courtyards, or to create beautiful pathways, walkways and even driveways.

Rustic Charm

If rustic is your go-to style, you’ll need outdoor tiles with plenty of character and natural beauty, to compliment your space.

Our Minster Rustic porcelain paving is inspired by oxidised slate, with earthy hues of bronze and copper complimenting grey tones to provide a weathered finish.

Paired well with flower beds or vegetable patches, the warm shade variations along with the textured finish can add depth to an artisan-inspired garden and can create an effortless backdrop for a rustic entertaining space.

Urban Contemporary Style

The garden is the ideal place to embrace urban industrial style, with modern lines and sleek structures. Outdoor porcelain tiles with natural stone effect designs, provide the ultimate backdrop for contemporary furniture and stylish accesssories.

Inspired by volcanic rock, our Lavastone collection of natural stone effect porcelain paving provides a modern look that is both practical and stylish.

For the ultimate urban outdoor sanctuary, why not mix different textures to add more depth and interest, alongside bold pops of colour and raw finishes for serious wow-factor!

Coastal Garden Retreat

If your property is close to the sea, then a laid back coastal-themed garden might just be the perfect look for you. Think seagrass, pebbles and light finishes for that idyllic beside-the-seaside feel with a sophisticated edge.

Whether you’re lucky enough to have a coastal home located directly on the beach or can see the shore in the distance, you can really make the most of your exterior space by connecting your garden with the seaside.

Our British Stone tiles in Anthracite are perfect for laying in a stepping stone configuration. Add rope accessories, succulent plants, grasses and rattan furniture to achieve a desirable coastal hide-away.

Outdoor Room

Consider creating an outdoor seating area that is a natural extension of your home. Although the garden is located outside, it’s still very easy to make it feel like another room connected to your home.

Our Sandstone natural sone effect multi-format outdoor porcelain tiles are ideal for creating a contemporary yet classic look for your garden room. Pair with modern furniture designs, flaming fire pits and beautiful flower beds for a stylish outdoor room you can relax in.

Indoor to Outdoor Cohesion

Make your garden a natural extension of your home by opting for a coordinating floor surface for both inside and out. This sought after look aims to unify your internal and external spaces, enhancing the overall feel of the space with style and cohesion.

Our British Stone tiles and Veined Stone tiles work really well for this look, with the thinner 9mm internal porcelain floor tiles complementing the robust, weatherproof 20mm outdoor porcelain paving.

Layout options for outdoor porcelain paving

The way you choose to lay your tiles will affect the overall look of your space, so you may want to consider what garden tiles pattern you would like to create.

A popular option is a linear tile pattern; this typically works well for all tile shapes, offering a simple, uniform look.

For a more creative design to add interest to both small and large spaces, opt for a brick bond pattern which can be created with most tile shapes, including square and rectangular - perfect for creating a seamless flow of tiles throughout your outdoor living space.

On outdoor patios, terraces, balconies or where under tile access is required, it is possible to build a raised level floor that still allows rainwater drainage, by using our recommended Pedestal Prime® System.

outdoor non slip tiles

"I spent weeks looking for the perfect porcelain tile that would offer the aesthetic I wanted for my garden. I was so pleased when I discovered the Burlington range - it offered the texture, colour and quality I was looking for but offered a uniqueness I couldn't find elsewhere. I receive so many compliments on the tiles from friends and family. The tiles have maintained their high quality even with all the rain we have in the UK. Our landscaper said they were a dream to work with and the delivery and service from the staff at CTD was great"
