Silver Contro Porcelain Paving

Silver Contro Porcelain Paving adds a classical touch to your outdoor space with the warm look of Filled Travertine. The varied tones of the patio tiles are combined with a satin texture to add a luxurious touch to contemporary or traditional designs, while it offers all the hard-wearing, highly slip-resistant advantages of porcelain. We recommend that all customers read our product & installation guides before buying.

Porcelain is manufactured in batches and therefore the colour and texture may vary from batch to batch.

This may mean that the porcelain you receive when ordered may differ from the samples or showroom displays viewed before purchasing.

Different sizes are manufactured in different batches. It is therefore not recommended to mix sizes.

If you feel this may be a concern for you, please contact our sales team who will be happy to advise you accordingly.

We recommend keeping a record of the 'batch colour code' of the delivered porcelain in case further stock is required. This can be found on the box that the porcelain is packaged in, and it is usually a number followed by a letter, or a six digit number.
