Porcelain Patios in Houghton-le-Spring
If you're planning a porcelain patio in Houghton-le-Spring, the installation method matters as much as the tile. Porcelain requires a slurry primer on the back of every tile to bond with the mortar — skip this step and the patio fails. We do every porcelain installation properly across County Durham.
Why Choose Us for Porcelain Patios in Houghton-le-Spring
Slurry-Primed Every Time
Every porcelain tile is back-primed with a cement slurry to bond properly to the mortar bed. This is essential — and we never skip it.
Premium 20mm Tiles
We use only 20mm vitrified outdoor porcelain — strong, dimensionally stable, and rated for the County Durham climate.

We bring physical porcelain samples to your Houghton-le-Spring survey so you can see exact colour and texture in your garden's natural light.
