It features Manzano® which combines the appearance of polished concrete with a range of mosaic tiles – mosaics being a popular trend at the moment. Causse® is dark porcelain paving designed in the style of Belgian Blue Limestone, a grey-blue stone, and contains small fossils in the pattern. The range also features Pauta®, which looks as close to natural granite as you’re ever going to get, plus a suite of other products. The continued interest in high end design for outdoor spaces means the bar is constantly being raised on what is expected from external paving products. Bradstone’s mission is to stay ahead of expectations through investing in new product development and creating unique range extensions, taking inspiration from architects, merchant partners and the latest design trends from around the world. Fired at up to 1400°C, porcelain has exceptional durability. Combined with a fine textured anti-slip finish, the extended porcelain collection is a viable, premium alternative to both concrete and natural stone. It also has a superb consistency of colour, is impervious to staining and is unaffected by weather conditions and colour-fading, meaning it is virtually maintenance free and will retain its premium finish for the long term.
