Granite Pool Paving

Granite Pool Paving

 

Pavestone Granite, Porcelain Patio Paving. A 'state of the art' man made stone, replicating perfectly the colour, texture and feel of natural granite stone. Now you can have all the benefits of a beautiful granite stone patio without experiencing any of the pitfalls. Real granite paving tiles often have damp staining around the edges ('picture framing') where water is absorbed and blotches of coloured staining (impurities) drawn up through the paving by water osmosis.

Pavestone Granite Porcelain tiles are available in two contrasting monochrome colours, Silver and Carbon. Both have straight linear edges that provide neat contemporary aesthetics and a very stylish, practical finish to your paved area.

Coverage

42 paving tiles per pallet.

1.85 paving tiles cover approximately 1.0m2

42 paving tiles (1 pallet) cover approximately 23m2 based on a 5mm jointing gap.

R11 anti-slip finish to the tile surface 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 Granite Porcelain tiles:
 

  • R11anti-slip finish.
     
  • Granite porcelain paving tiles 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.
     
  • Granite Porcelain paving tiles will not experience colour fading. Blacks will stay black, not turn to grey, light colours will stay faithful and will not turn grey/brown. In summary they will stay looking aesthetically as laid for many years with minimal cleaning maintenance.

 

  • Granite Porcelain tiles are rectified* to give a calibrated, dimensional accuracy. This enables closer jointing so that the tiles appear as one large uninterrupted, seamless surface of flooring.

Laying Comments
 

Lay on an MOT Type 1 or GSB aggregate sub-base, over a geo-textile covering.

Set the paving tiles on a full wet mortar bed (40mm), using a 5:1 sharp sand : cement ratio.

Cut tiles with a 'Diamond Porcelain Cutting Blade' (circular no teeth) on a hand tool  or table saw.  Use 'water dust suppression'.

It is essential to use a Priming Slurry, which should be applied to the underside of each paving tile just prior to laying.

Joint width ideally 5mm (optimum cosmetically).

Porcelain is manufactured in batches and the the colour and texture can vary from batch to batch. It is therefore 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.

Keep a note of the 'batch code' of the porcelain being laid in case you need more to complete or extend your paved area. This can be found on the packaging (usually a number followed by a letter, or a six digit number.

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

Please refer to our laying instructions if in any doubt.

Keep your paving looking superb, year after year!
