Put simply, this landscaping product is a form of vitrified paving. This means that it undergoes baking at incredibly high temperatures. Porcelain pavers consist of naturally occurring materials. While the specific ingredients used may differ between manufacturers, they usually include premium fine clays, pure quartzitic sand, feldspar (a granitic mineral) and Kaolin (known in the UK as China Clay).
These materials undergo a mixing and grinding process with water to create a slurry that has no grittiness. The manufacturer then reduces the moisture level to around 6%.
After another mixing process, the blended powder is pressed into moulds and compacted, closing internal voids and air pockets. These moulds create smooth finishes with no surface relief as well as profiled surfaces and specific textures. Our paving company supplies options of every kind.
A further drying process reduces the moisture content to just 1 to 1.5%. To suit a range of garden design and landscaping projects, be they in Ashford, Maidstone, Heathfield or any other location, the slab undergoes a range of pressing, printing and pre-treatment processes. This creates the appearance of other materials, for example, marble, travertine or even timber.
The resulting slab then passes slowly through a specially designed kiln. This machine stretches as long as 100 metres and reaches temperatures between 1,200֯C and 1,400֯C. To ensure superior quality, the cooling stage is equally as meticulous as the heating.
This manufacturing process creates the various porcelain products that we supply and install. Our range includes:
