Transform your outdoor with 1200 x 600 paving slabs
Looking to transform your outdoor with 1200 x600 paving slabs? We explore these generously sized tiles and find out why they are such a good pick in porcelain. They are perfect for creating contemporary gardens and patios as well as pathways and are perfect for outdoor areas for a whole host of reasons – porcelain is durable, frost resistant, fade resistant, with antislip finishes and in a wonderful array of designs.
This large format tile can be laid either stacked in a linear design or offset for added interest making it highly versatile. In our blog, we look at how you can transform your outdoor space with 1200 x 600 paving slabs and how you can even link your inside space with your outside space in these beautiful porcelain tiles.
Why choose 1200 x 600 paving slabs?
1200 x 600 paving slabs in porcelain bring a minimalist look and feel to spaces with a clean, modern aesthetic. This is especially so when these tiles feature rectified tile edges – as all our paving slabs do. Rectified edges mean tile edges are straight and this in turn means grout lines are at a minimum of a few mm. With rectangular outside tiles there is the option to lay slabs in a linear format or in a staggered pattern both of which are striking visually.
Â
Unlike a traditional sandstone or limestone paving slab, both of which are more rustic in appearance, porcelain is designed to bring an architectural look and feel to spaces with clean lines and a flush appeal making it easy to create your outside room whether that is a space in which to relax, dine, entertain or cook.
Key benefits of 1200 x 600 paving slabs
More tile, less grout
Â
Larger porcelain tiles mean there are fewer slabs required in an area which means fewer grout lines overall. And with rectified edges, whatever grout lines there are, they are minimal. This helps to create a seamless approach to spaces with a continuous surface bringing an architectural look and feel to gardens.
Â
Porcelain is very durable
Â
Porcelain is a highly robust material that is frost resistant and therefore ideal for outdoor areas. This is a material that can withstand the weather perfectly well come rain, snow, frost or even shine – it’s is also fade resistant so makes for the perfect patio even in the sunniest of spots.
Â
Antislip finishes
Â
1200 x 600 paving slabs in porcelain are specifically designed with antislip finishes for outdoor areas. These tiles have more grip than an internal porcelain tile and have a rating of R11 A+B+C or above.
Â
Linking inside and outside
Â
All our 1200 x 600 paving slabs feature a co-ordinating inside tile allowing you to run tiles from internal areas to external areas. Flooring is critical in creating a seamless flow to spaces and is one of the few materials that can be used both inside and outside with ease. With a 1200 x 600mm tile in 9mm thickness in matt finish for inside spaces, you can link this with a 2cm thick tile in an antislip finish for outside spaces. Both tiles are designed to look the same, but feature different surface finishes and give you continuity from inside to outside the home.
Â
Versatility
Â
Porcelain 1200 x 600 paving slabs aren’t just for patios!
You can use these highly versatile pavers for other areas too:
Walkways and pathways – because these pavers are 2cm in thickness they can also be laid directly onto gravel or grass as stepping stones. Or you can install onto a fully cured concrete bed to form a pathway too.
Courtyards – 1200 x 600 paving slabs are ideal for courtyards as well as sweeping patios.
To sum up
Whatever you are planning for your project, if you are looking for 1200 x 600 paving slabs then it is well worth consdiering porcleain. This material adds style to your space and in large formats brings a beautiful, modern look to outdoor spaces.
