Large porcelain patio transformation

We’re creating an expansive outdoor living area using nearly 100 square metres of sandstone-effect beige porcelain paving. The warm, natural tones will provide the character of sandstone with the clean finish and durability of porcelain.

14 September 2026A punctured wheelbarrow tyre caused a small setback today, but we still made excellent progress and the main porcelain patio area is now nearly complete. We’re set up for another productive day tomorrow as this large transformation moves closer to its final stages.
