Global Station Porcelain Paving is a high-performance, 20mm vitrified outdoor tile engineered primarily for exterior residential and commercial landscaping.

 

Primary Applications:

 

• Patios and Terraces: Creates sleek, contemporary outdoor living, lounging, and entertaining spaces.

• Garden Pathways and Walkways: Delivers durable, high-traffic footpaths throughout gardens and lawns.

• Pool Surrounds and Hot Tub Areas: Features an R11-rated anti-slip texture that provides safe underfoot traction on wet surfaces.

• Outdoor Kitchens and Dining Zones: Non-porous surface naturally resists grease, wine, food spills, and barbecue stains.

• Urban Courtyards and Balconies: Adds an elegant, space-maximizing architectural finish to compact courtyards or raised terraces.

Because of its 20mm depth, frost resistance, and ultra-low water absorption rate (under 0.1%), it is specifically designed to replace traditional porous concrete flags, natural stone, or timber decking with a low-maintenance, long-lasting alternative.

Do 20mm porcelain slabs require sealing?

No. Because vitrified porcelain has an ultra-low water absorption rate (less than 0.1%), it is virtually non-porous. Liquids, algae, and grime cannot soak into the material, so applying a surface sealer is unnecessary.

How should Global Station Porcelain slabs be installed?

They must be laid on a full mortar bed over a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base. Crucially, a SBR or polymer-modified slurry primer (bonding bridge) must be brushed onto the back of every slab immediately before laying to ensure a permanent bond with the mortar.

What is the best way to cut outdoor porcelain paving?

Use an angle grinder or wet saw equipped with a continuous-rim diamond blade specifically rated for hard porcelain. Standard masonry or stone blades will cause edge chipping and cracking.

How do you clean and maintain porcelain paving?

Routine maintenance simply requires warm water, a mild outdoor soap, and a stiff broom. You can also safely use a pressure washer without risking surface erosion or color loss.

Is porcelain paving slippery when wet?

Global Station slabs feature an R11 slip-resistance rating. This microscopic surface texture delivers firm, reliable underfoot grip in heavy rain, frost, or around wet pool decks.

Can porcelain slabs be laid on pedestal support systems?

Yes. The solid 20mm profile and high load-bearing capacity make these slabs suitable for raised pedestal systems on balconies, flat roofs, and timber-frame sub-structures.
