About

Unlike most porcelain paving, Antico has fettled edges, replicating hand-cut natural stone paving.

Available in two shades, this stylish single size paving is a good paving tile for either a traditional or contemporary garden.

Two bold stone colours and textures to choose from, the Antico porcelain paving range is inspired by traditional hand-cut natural stone paving. Whilst being almost indetectable from the natural stone product product it replicates, Antico porcelain will remain lookinging clean and 'just laid' for many years, without the scrubbing and cleaning associated with natural stone.

R11 Anti-slip Finish is the latest development to meet the growing demand for porcelain outdoor paving. This unique finish roughens the tile surface without changing its appearance giving good grip underfoot in damp and wet weather.

Key features of Antico:
 

• R11Anti-slip Finish.
   
• Fettled edges replicating a hand-chisled finish
   
• Antico porcelain paving will not be affected by the seasonal weather changes and will not deteriorate in freezing weather conditions that can see some stone surfaces deteriorate gradually.
   
• Porcelain Patio Tiles are resistant to acid and alkali chemicals such as fertilizers and lawn treatments. Moss and algae cannot get established as they can on stone.
   
• Antico porcelain paving will not experience colour fading. Blacks will stay black and not turn to grey, light colours will stay light colours and will not turn grey/brown. In summary they will stay looking aesthetically as laid for many years with minimal cleaning maintenance.

Laying Comments

As with all paving, it is essential to lay the paving by mixing the tiles from each of the packs that are to be laid. This ensures that the overall desired hue is achieved and evens out any slight colour discrepancies. Laying your patio one pallet at a time can lead to slight but visible colour banding.

It is essential to use a Priming Slurry, which should be applied to the underside of each paving tile just prior to laying. Please refer to the laying instructions if in any doubt.

A flexible jointing grout should be used and care must be taken not to let it dry on the surface of the tile.

Each of the colour swatches reproduced above demonstrate the overall hue of a paved area. The natural colour variation of individual paving tile may vary significantly when viewed individually.
