CONCRETE & STONEWORK
20MM THICK PORCELAIN
– UNLOCKING THE MYSTERIES AND
OPPORTUNITIES
Clients are increasingly choosing
20mm thick porcelain over natural
stone or cementitious products.
Many material suppliers say that
porcelain is their biggest seller.
Stone installations can be very
attractive, especially if properly
treated and maintained, but may
quickly lose allure with aging and
ground-in detritus.
Discerning clients are turning to
porcelain tiles as they offer many
advantages, including;
• Tiles come in a huge variety to
suit many tastes.
• There are many tile suppliers
offering huge choice within easy
travel distance of most consumers.

• Porcelain is consistent over each
tile range, allowing for a more
precise installation
• We’ve seen images of absolutely
stunning projects installed by
professional landscapers. As
experience of working with
20mm porcelain grows, landscape
professionals are more confident
in offering their clients a wider
variety of attractive bespoke
finishes such as novel patterns,
star bursts, etched surfaces,
bullnose profiles, steps and
copings. These added value
services liberate clients to realise
real individuality in their gardens
that may not be as readily
achieved with natural stone or
concrete.
• Porcelain is hard wearing and
is a low maintenance product,
certainly much less than for
natural stone and concrete based
installations.
• The material is almost (but
not absolutely) impermeable.
Porcelain can be easily treated to
remove stains. Tile cleaning and
protection solutions are simple
to use, allowing porcelain to be
brought back to a just-installed
look with ease, year after year.
