Porcelain Paving Gaining Popularity in Scotland

Keeping up with trends is tough. Whether it be with fashion, music, the arts, or even design and decor. Unfortunately, we can’t tell you which colour T-shirt you should be wearing this season – although this being Ayrshire we’d recommend something warm! – but we do know a thing or two about the latest goings on in the world of gardening and landscaping!
One such product currently soaring in popularity in Scotland is porcelain. Having been popular down south for a little while, the demand for porcelain paving, slabs and tiles has been making its way north of the border and quickly gaining popularity in Scotland – especially around the Glasgow area.

So why this sudden surge in interest? And what makes it a better option than natural stone, concrete or ceramic? Let’s have a look…
What are the benefits of porcelain paving?

Low-Maintenance

Who wants to spend their weekends treating tiles and worrying about algae or moss forming? Doesn’t sound like much fun, does it? Thankfully with porcelain paving this isn’t an issue. It’s resistant to stains and its incredibly low porosity (<0.1%) level means you needn’t worry about any of the problems that can arise from the absorption of moisture.

Durability

Porcelain is highly resistant to just about anything, from the weather (including sunlight – for the lovers of black finishes) to chemicals such as oils, plant fertilizers, salts and even acids. General wear and tear certainly won’t be an issue when you opt for porcelain in the garden.

Variety and Look

As well as the hard-wearing nature of porcelain, it also comes in a multitude of different styles. The variety of porcelain slabs is virtually limitless and you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to making your decision. A porcelain finish will also give a much more sophisticated feel to an area, something that other materials can’t match.
