Natural Welsh Slate Effect Porcelain Paving
Pavestone Ardesia Black is designed to capture the sleek appearance and natural character of Welsh slate. Its sophisticated blue-black shade creates a striking paved surface that works particularly well in contemporary gardens while remaining versatile enough for traditional outdoor spaces.
The stone-inspired texture and subtle tonal variation help create a convincing natural stone effect while retaining the consistent performance and easy-care properties of porcelain paving.
Large Format 900x600mm Porcelain Paving
The 900x600mm format creates a clean and spacious appearance across patios and outdoor entertaining areas. At 20mm thick, the slabs are designed for external paving applications, while their rectified edges provide accurate dimensions for neat and consistent joint lines.
Durable Outdoor Porcelain Paving
Ardesia porcelain paving is frost resistant and has water absorption of less than 0.01%, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use through changing UK weather conditions. The textured surface also provides greater than R11 slip resistance for practical use on patios, paths and other pedestrian areas.
Low-Maintenance Natural Stone Look
Ardesia combines the appearance of natural slate with the practical advantages of porcelain. Its very low water absorption helps make the paving easy to clean and maintain, while Pavestone states that the porcelain is resistant to frost, colour fading and common acid and alkali chemicals such as lawn treatments and fertilisers.
The porcelain surface also makes it more difficult for moss and algae to become established compared with more porous natural stone, helping the paving retain its distinctive blue-black appearance with relatively little ongoing maintenance.

Installation Advice
Porcelain paving should be installed on a suitable prepared base using a full wet mortar bed. Apply an appropriate porcelain paving primer or bonding slurry to the underside of each slab immediately before laying to help achieve a secure bond.
Use a flexible jointing grout suitable for external porcelain paving and follow the manufacturer's installation guidance. Porcelain paving is manufactured in batches, so colour, pattern and texture variation can occur. Mix paving from different packs during installation to help create a balanced overall appearance and retain the batch information if additional paving may be required later.
