Durability

Mosaic patterned porcelain paving tiles are well-known for their durability. They are resistant to staining and fading and due to low water porosity, will not attract algae. With proper care, mosaic paving tiles can last for many years.

Colour

There are an endless amount of colors to choose from when it comes to mosaic paving tiles. You can go for a classic look with white or black tiles, or add a pop of colour with brighter shades for an exotic Moroccan appearance. If you're undecided, consider the other colours within your garden and home and how you will use accent colours with accessories such as cushions, throws and planting to bring in the same colour scheme. 

Porosity

When it comes to porosity, porcelain mosaic patterned paving tiles are classified as almost completely non-porous. This means that they will not absorb much water or other liquids, making them ideal for use in areas where there is a risk of spills or where the tile may be exposed to moisture. The lower the porosity of a paving tile, the easier it is to keep clean, as they will not absorb dirt or stains. 

How to Clean and Maintain your Mosaic Paving Tiles

With porcelain mosaic paving tiles, the best way to clean them is to ensure they are regularly brushed with a soft broom to remove any surface debris or leaves. Fallen leaves can temporarily stain porcelain paving due to the tannins in the leaves. Tannin is the same compound found in tealeaves and it's no different to leaving a wet teabag on a composite worktop - as much as the stain will not permeate through the material and cause lasting damage, it will temporarily leave a mark on the surface. Once you've swept or vacuumed up any loose dirt, you can also occasionally use a cleaner such as Pavetuf Porcelain Cleaner. Work in small sections and rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning.

It's not necessary to seal your porcelain mosaic patterned paving tiles as being made from porcelain, the sealer will not permeate into the stone and only mark the surface. Due to the nature of porcelain paving with its low porosity, it should remain clean of its own accord if maintained as described, ensuring that surface dirt is removed regularly.
