Porcelain Patio Installers Cardiff

Porcelain is one of the less porous paving slab or tile options and therefore to install a porcelain patio properly you must use the correct paving adhesive to ensure that your porcelain stones don't come loose after a short period of time.

Here's a recent job completed in central Cardiff where we also fenced off a drain area for aesthetics and used the porcelain pavers to add a decorative aspect to the existing wall - transforming the area.

Natural Stone Patios

Natural paving stones as the name implies are slabs cut from a natural occurring material rather than being formed in a manufacturing process. These are very popular with traditionalists who want their outdoor space to be as natural and at one with nature as possible. Since this will be natural stones there will be much more variation from one slab to the next unlike manufactured slabs which are uniform and fairly identical - some will have a few subtle variances but each of these variances these will have been repeated so many identical slabs that were made in a manufacturing production line at the time will often be batched together. The variability and non-uniform slabs are another reason some people will actively seek a natural stone option. For other people they will positively want uniformity and any break in this will be seen as a fault.

This is one of the reason why we enjoy installing patios and working with different paving stone as rarely will any two jobs be the same and the decision making process for different customer is fascinating. With natural stone paving we are careful when sourcing these as some imports can be low grade and we only want to be associated with high quality work. So you can be confident in our sourcing of materials..

Paving Contractor Cardiff

Whilst fencing is our primary hard landscaping activity we do install many paved and patio areas and are frequently acknowledged as a paving contractor in Cardiff. Often the installation of a patio will be right up against a fence, typically a new one, which we have installed to provide a natural end point along one side.

The options along other edges can range from using other smaller paving stones or block paving which can provide a nice frame to a patio area to a small run of gravel, which can often enable a neat straight run of paving stones to be laid as a central path which the gravel is used as a fill around objects such as drain and waste pipes. This keeps cost down and generally will be much neater rather than trying to make intricate cuts into paving slabs.

Frequently Asked Patio Questions:

  • What is the most popular paving stone for patios?

    In the UK, the most popular paving stone for patios is Indian sandstone. This natural stone is appreciated for its durability, versatility, and attractive appearance.

    Indian sandstone is a type of sedimentary rock that is quarried from the Indian subcontinent. It comes in various colours, including beige, grey, and shades of brown, which can complement any exterior design style. The natural variations in texture and colour within each tile add a unique appeal to each patio paving installation.

    One of the main advantages of Indian sandstone is its durability. It is resistant to harsh weather conditions such as frost and extreme temperatures, making it suitable for use in the UK's variable climate. Properly installed, it can last for many years with minimal maintenance.

    Indian sandstone is also versatile and can be used to create various patio designs, from modern to traditional styles. It is easy to cut and shape, making it ideal for creating curves and non-rectangular shapes. Additionally, it can be laid in different patterns, such as herringbone, random, or linear.

    Finally, Indian sandstone is relatively affordable compared to other natural stones, such as slate or granite. This makes it an attractive option for many homeowners and designers looking to create a stylish and durable patio on a budget.

    While Indian sandstone is the most popular paving stone for patios in the UK, other options are available, such as limestone, granite, and porcelain. These stones also have unique advantages and may be more suitable for specific patio designs, preferences, or requirements.

  • What's the difference between sandstone paving and limestone paving?

    Limestone is less porous that sandstone which results in a smoother finish. A smoother paving slab can be significantly more slippery when wet which is why some people who are not put off from the outdoors by a little bit of rain will generally prefer a rougher stone finish.

  • Do I need to seal my patio?

    Ultimately this is down to you. Sealing will generally need resealing every 3-4 years sand prior to resealing you will want your driveways cleaning so you don;t seal all the dirt in! For some paving materials sealing will protect the slabs from water ingress, which if allowed to freeze could mean that the expanding ice can crack your paving slabs. Not all materials need sealing so please double check with us.

  • Do you pave driveways?

    Yes, we do. Mostly the driveways we install will be made up from clock paving or Indian stone paving. It is important to note that Indian Stone paving for driveways is a thicker grade so it is important to select the right one for the job.
