Fit for the Job

If your tiles were made out of porcelain, you would soon start to see that porcelain was quite simply made to tile! Our houses are full of assigned materials that fit their function so perfectly: our tables are made from wood, our pipes from copper, and our windows from glass.

You see a material's look, properties, and performance define its place in our home, and although porcelain is still not entirely a household name when it comes to tiles, we are confident that as soon as people start to see it in action, it will be!

Porcelain Trumps Stone, Every Time

Here at Refin, we want our glorious porcelain tiles to be the first thing you think of when it comes to tiling your floor – we realise this won’t be a quick or easy task, but our confidence that it is doable lies in the sheer quality and superiority of our product. We want porcelain to overtake natural stone as the primary flooring tile surface, as it’s a much more competent material for the job!

Inside & Outside

Our porcelain tiles come in two sizes – In.Out 1.0 and OUT 2.0 – intended for both indoor and outdoor use. Whichever size or application you choose porcelain for you will be guaranteed a wonder material! Every avenue in which natural stone falls short, porcelain performs effortlessly better.

A Matter of Facts

Porcelain resists scratches, stains, and slippages, not to mention it being an incredibly hard-wearing material. If you choose natural stone to tile your floor with, you will have to dedicate labour every year to sealing and treating it just to keep it intact! You never have to worry about any maintenance with porcelain, and instead you can concentrate on relishing your exquisitely tiled floor!

Looking Good

Don’t think you have to compromise on aesthetics either, as porcelain is manufactured to mirror the finest of natural stones such as quartz, as well as invent its own striking and innovative shades such as Bluestone and Driftwood. We even offer a free courtesy sample of our tiles, just so you can be reassured of its striking appearance and resounding appeal.

If you have been considering any other material to tile your floor with, then we at Refin urge you to reconsider! All it takes is a quick look at the facts to realise that porcelain is the ultimate flooring tile.

While some of you are more than happy with traditional styling, plenty of you long for décor that screams 2013! Our range of Bluestone porcelain floor tiles are the perfect choice for the effortlessly-cool and contemporary among you, who also want the benefits of our feature-filled flooring. If you want the perfect blend of convenience, style, and modernity, our porcelain floor tiles should be your only option!

We live in a world where the style and looks of your property are very important. People want their houses to represent themselves and their tastes, so getting the décor right is critical. Anyone looking to create an ultra-modern space is going to need the right flooring to complement it, and our Bluestone porcelain floor tiles most definitely fit the bill!

The colour and finish of our Bluestone porcelain floor tiles is everything – it’s what makes them so emphatic! We like to talk about the fact that our tiles are:

•           Maintenance Free 

•           Stain, scratch, and slip resistant

•           Fire, frost and fade proof

•          Quick and easy to install – as well being easy to remove if needed.

These are all brilliant selling-points, and a lot of them are down to the fact that these tiles are manufactured, as opposed to natural. Another huge advantage of this process is the fact that the look, colour, and finish can all be manipulated to an impeccable standard. It is this process that allows us to make these cool-blue porcelain tiles so striking! The textured finish of the tile mirrors that of natural stone, though it has a cleaner, smoother, more symmetrical appearance that is oh so modern!

We love the sleek and stylish look of our Bluestone tiles – you’ll love them too, almost as much as you’ll love how well they perform! Take advantage of our advances in manufacturing so you can enjoy unrivalled aesthetics, with uncompromised performance.

It is important to us here at Porcelain Paving that you understand why we are so passionate about our porcelain tiles. It is not just enough for us to show you a couple of pictures of porcelain tiles and implore you to buy our products; we want to share with you all the reasons that make our tiles so special, and why we think they could dramatically change the appearance of your living area.

Porcelain tiles are manufactured from the purest clays and minerals. These are then shaped by a process known as dry-pressing, and then fired at extremely high temperatures! The finished product are refin porcelain tiles – these are extremely hard-wearing, but also have a very low water absorption making them a superior choice to natural stone paving.

 The benefits of these beautiful tiles does not end here, here are the main reasons why we are so passionate about this paving: they require no maintenance as they do not absorb surface dirt and water; our particular line of OUT 2.0 porcelain tiles are also slip-resistant making them ideal for surrounding pools; they are also scratch-resistant, frostproof, and fireproof to boot. They are also easy to install, and easy to remove – not that you’re going to be wanting to remove them anytime soon.

Porcelain tiles add a touch of Italian style and elegance to your home or garden. Our OUT 2.0 porcelain tiles not only provide you with an unrivalled practical flooring solution, but they are also aesthetically pleasing too.

Our tiles are almost indistinguishable from natural stone meaning you get that same stunning paving with none of the drawbacks. The colour selection we offer is enough to capture the imagination of most people, and suit pretty much any kind of living space.

This article is only scratching the surface of porcelain tiles –which you cannot do with our tiles as they are scratch-resistant, remember? The basic thing you need to understand is these tiles are durable, beautiful, and so practical that you’ll be able to spend more time doing the things you want to do.

Although we think there are more than three reasons why porcelain floor tiles win, we have compiled a compact and compelling list of the top ones. So, here are the top three reasons why you have to consider porcelain floor tiles for your living area:

Maintenance – This really is a big one. Speak to anyone who has natural stone flooring and they will tell you of the hardships involved in maintain such a porous material. As our porcelain floor tiles require no sealer there is no maintenance involved at all! In fact, because these tiles have a porosity level of just 0.05% they need only be cleaned once a year – and even then you are only removing surface dirt and debris rather than any stains.

Strength – The last thing you would want if you purchased some quality porcelain floor tiles is to have them scratched, chipped, or even worse cracked; luckily for you there is little chance of either happening with our durable floor tiles. Porcelain floor tiles are extremely dense and do not mark even when heavy cast iron furniture is dragged along them. As they are baked at 1200 degrees 100% of the material vitrifies meaning you’re left with a super-strong and hard-wearing material.

Aesthetics & Transition – A brief look around our gallery will show you just how striking and beautiful the finish is with our porcelain floor tiles. They are pretty much indistinguishable from natural stone thanks to the mastering of techniques such as colour-shading, veining, and fossilisation – but remember, they won’t absorb all the water and scratches that stone also does. 

What you can also achieve with our floor tiles is a quite epic transition from indoors to outdoors. We sell two different types of porcelain floor tiles which differ in their thickness only, the thinner is actually intended for indoor use while the thicker is suitable for outdoors. This means you can pick a colour you like and have a seamless transition from your home into your garden – the effect this has is simply stunning as it amalgamates your space into one gorgeous living area.
