AWBS Exclusive Modena Porcelain is a beautiful, large profile porcelain paving slab that will really enhance more contemporary styled properties. Featuring clean lines and a slightly textured surface, these affordable yet hard wearing, fade resistant slabs are available in three fantastic colours and will really help to enhance your outdoor space. Available in three different colours and three different sizes.

AWBS recommend all porcelain paving be laid on a full bed of wet mortar and a slurry primer be used when laying the slabs. Porcelain paving is a man made product and can be subject to colour and texture variations between differing batches of paving. It is always recommended that you dry-lay your slabs before laying, particularly if you're using pavers ordered at different times or from different batches as this should alleviate problems with variations in pattern and strong colour clashes. If laying more than one pack of paving, it is always advisable to mix the packs to minimise issues with colour and style. If you need further help, we've put together a comprehesive guide on how to lay porcelain paving slabs.

The benefits of porcelain paving

Hard wearing, resistant to fading, exceptionally durable and great to look at, porcelain paving is the most innovative product in paving at the moment. The unique manufacturing process that porcelain paving goes through allows the slabs to have many benefits while also enhancing the look of your outdoor space. Porcelain paving is frost, fade, scratch and stain resistant and features a slightly textured surface that will provide good slip resistance.
