Porcelain Patios & Premium Paving
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.

Why Porcelain?
Natural stone patios look beautiful but absorb stains, crack in hard frosts, and need annual sealing. Porcelain is fired at temperatures that make it harder, denser and more resistant than any natural material — which is why it's now the material of choice for premium outdoor spaces.
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.
Available in Large Formats
600×600, 900×600, and large-format 1200×600 slabs all available, creating a clean, contemporary look that makes outdoor spaces feel significantly larger.
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.
900 × 600mm
Fewer visible joints and a cleaner finish for larger patios. A step up in visual impact without going full large-format.
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.
How It Works
- Step 1
Site Visit & Sample Selection
Jackson visits to check levels, drainage and access, and brings tile samples so you can choose format and finish before committing to anything.
- Step 2
Groundworks & Install
Sub-base excavated and compacted, mortar bed laid, slabs set to level and correct falls, joints pointed with exterior grout. Clean finish to all edges.
