A porcelain solution you are looking for whatever your budget, style and aesthetic may be. Beyond beauty, porcelain paving flagstones offer several remarkable practical benefits.
Due to their manufacturing process, which binds molecules together, porcelain flags are non-porous. Meaning liquid and air cannot pass through them.
And because they are resistant to water absorption, they are very easy to maintain. Unlike other natural stone and concrete materials, they also do not require any sealing to achieve a desirable and practical finish.
WHAT IS VITRIFIED PAVING?
Vitrified paving is manufactured with a combination of minerals and clay, including feldspar and quartz. Then they're fired at 1200 degrees Celsius to make it extremely hard and durable. Here are just some of the benefits of vitrified porcelain paving from Vitripiazza:
-
Strong and hard-wearing: Resistant to salt and acid. With higher resistance to algae and mould, Vitripiazza porcelain has low water absorption and is frost-resistant.
-
Slip Resistance: All external Vitripiazza products are classified as having low slip potential with the R11 rating, making them safe for families.
-
Vitrified Porcelain: All of our ranges are vitrified porcelain which is quality-assured with specifications to suit all styles & budgets.
-
Natural Beauty: Each porcelain slab offers a varied colour blend, with numerous patterns to reflect natural landscaping materials.
-
Higher Stain Resistance: Low porosity of vitrified paving means that spills and general soiling are less likely. Whilst not soaking into the flag, they're easier to clean and highly resistant to staining.
- Bring The Outside In: In addition to 16-20mm thick flagstones designed for external use, some of the Vitripiazza ranges have matching 10mm thick tiles for internal use, to enable continuity of floor design from home to garden.
