With the right installation and maintenance, 20mm porcelain tiles can last for decades.

20mm porcelain tiles are simply an engineered ceramic tile that is extra thick so you can use it as a paver!

20mm porcelain tiles can be used indoors but are usually very large and hard to cut so not very practical indoors. Also due to them being extra thick they might be not be suitable for under floor heating or as affective.

Our 20mm Porcelain tiles come in different sizes, starting from 60x60cm up to 60x120cm.

You can use smaller tiles outdoor but they will generally not be as thick as 20mm. For thinner tiles you will need to make sure they are suitable for outdoor use and that the surface you are tiling onto is solid and flat so tiling is possible.

20mm porcelain tiles are strong enough to withstand pressure washers.

Porcelain tiles should be easy to clean compared to concrete pavers due to being glazed. Brushing with Water and soap (or specialist cleaning solutions) on a regular basis should mean no need to use a power washer to remove built up grime and algae.

Note pressure washers might not effect the tile but might remove any grout work between the tiles so be careful if using a power washer.

We recommend 20mm porcelain tiles as they are designed for outdoor use being extra strong and usually having an anti-slip finish.

Make sure the grass area is flat and solid as you don't want the tiles to move when walked on.

All our 20mm porcelain tiles have a slip rating of R11 or higher meaning they are classified as having an anti slip finish.

It's important to note that it's possible to slip on any paving or outdoor tile, regardless of its slip rating. This is because a number of factors are involved in accidents, from choice of footwear, to weather conditions, spillages and more.
