Porcelain Setts are often used to border paving with a contrasting colour adding a designed personalised element and style. They can create gentle or sweeping curves to a border, replacing often less interesting, straight lines.

Setts can likewise be used to fill in between different sizes of paving, further adding character to your garden, or to create impressive features in the garden, such as cobbled squares, circles or other intriguing random patterns

Laying Comments

During installation It is essential to use a Priming Slurry to facilitate a good bond between the tile and the bedding mortar. This will ensure the tiles do not become loose overtime or 'rock' when walked over.

Priming Slurry should be applied to the underside of each paving tile just prior to laying. Refer to the Porcelain Installation Guide if in any doubt.

A Flexible Jointing Grout should be used for jointing the paving and care must be taken not to let it dry on the surface of the tile.

Porcelain notice:

Porcelain paving is manufactured in batches, this means the colour and texture can vary by the batch. Ensure you mix tiles from each of the packs that are being laid. This means an overall tone will be achieved showing no colour discrepancies. If you lay paving using one pack at a time it can create visible colour differences. It is also important to keep a note of the batch code of the porcelain, in the event you need more tiles.

Laying instructions:

When laying the paving you will also need a flexible jointing grout, but ensure this does not dry on the surface of the tiles. Some porcelain paving tiles are rectified, rectified tiles ensure precise dimensions for seamless flooring, allowing for closer jointing to create a unified, uninterrupted surface. They must be laid on an MOT Type 1 or GSB aggregate sub-base, or over a geo-textiles covering.

Tiles need to be set on a full wet mortar bed (40mm), using a 5:1 Sharp sand : cement ratio and the tiles should be cut with a circular Porcelain Cutting Blade (no teeth) using hand tools, or a table saw and water dust suppression.

Prior to laying the tiles, ensure you use a priming slurry, which needs to be applied to the underside of each paving tile.
