At PrimaPorcelain, we know porcelain inside out. Our extensive range of 20mm porcelain paving slabs have the incredible ability to give your patio a contemporary feel that’s easy to maintain, through rain or shine.
There are many benefits to porcelain paving slabs– they are easy to clean and they look beautiful, but we also know that they can be hard to install using regular methods. Traditionally, paving slabs are installed using cement mix with a bonding agent.
Why is the traditional installation method more difficult?
The issue with this installation method is down to the brittleness of the material. If not properly supported or laid, the slab is susceptible to cracking under pressure, causing extensive damage and repairs.
There’s a lot of risk involved in installing porcelain slabs using this traditional method, and we realised that there had to be a stronger solution…
Introducing: The Easy-Frame Patio Frame
Our aim is to make the installation process of porcelain slabs as simple as possible. This is why our 20mm porcelain slabs are compatible with all methods of installation, from the traditional method to the utilisation of pedestal supports.
Not only that, but we also provide the Easy-Frame – an advanced dry-installation solution. It’s all in the name - the Easy-Frame is a revolutionary paving installation alternative that provides a sturdy, robust and long-lasting installation, perfect for any residential or commercial project.
What is an Easy-Frame?
The Easy-Frame is an innovative sub-structure system, designed to support a wide range of surfaces and products, including our 20mm porcelain slabs.
These made-to-measure, easy-lock patio frames are made from galvanised steel, providing strong and reliable support. They can be finished to suit any installation, so you can tailor your installation experience to fit in with your own needs.
It’s a simple solution that saves time, making it the perfect alternative to traditional installation methods.
What makes the Easy-Frame different to other methods?
- The frame is assembled off-site to match the exact dimension that you need for your dream patio
- Each frame requires no more than two people to handle
- The frames are easily transferable
- Due to their zinc coating, they're not affected by temperature changes, moisture, or frost/thaw cycles
- They don't rot, shrink or creep when under load
- Their gauge steel composition provides the highest weight-to-strength ratio on the market
- They provide an adequate span between supports which limits disturbance to the existing ground
What are the benefits of using a metal patio frame?

- You can install the frames using flush-mounting, allowing a seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor spaces
