Porcelain Patios
Porcelain that looks as good in year ten as it did on installation day. No staining, no cracking, no frost damage — just a low-maintenance outdoor space that earns its cost back over years of use.

4 Reasons Porcelain Lasts
Frost-Proof & UV-Stable
Unlike sandstone or slate, porcelain absorbs virtually no water — so it won't crack when temperatures drop below zero, and the colour won't fade. Essential for Scottish conditions.
Non-Porous Surface
Oil, algae, moss — none of it soaks in. Porcelain cleans with warm water, so no annual sealing costs and no staining after a barbecue.
Long-Term Value
Material costs more than concrete slabs — but near-zero maintenance and the kerb appeal it adds to a property make it one of the better investments in your outdoor space.
What's Included
A Jackson's porcelain installation isn't just laying slabs. Every job includes: full groundwork preparation and sub-base compaction, a mortar bed and SBR primer for permanent adhesion, correctly specified exterior grout compound, and a final clean-off. The base is what separates a patio that lasts from one that sinks and cracks in three years.
Tile Formats & Finishes
600 × 600mm
The most popular format for residential patios — versatile, easy to cut around obstacles, suits both traditional and contemporary garden styles.
1200 × 600mm Large Format
Premium format for prestige projects. Fewer joints, more dramatic look — particularly effective running from bi-fold doors to a garden space.
Finishes: Sawn, Sandblasted & Brushed
Sawn is smooth and contemporary. Sandblasted gives grip without heavy texture. Brushed replicates aged natural stone. Jackson brings samples to your site visit.
