1. What type of paving slabs should I choose for my patio ?

Stone, concrete or ceramic paving slabs are all possible choices for a patio on pedestals. The choice will depend on the use, the type of installation and, of course, the desired aesthetic appearance of your paved patio.

 

Stone paving slabs: a robust material

Stone is appreciated for its authenticity and timeless appearance. Two materials can be obtained from this mineral, depending on the process used:

  • Natural stone slabs, cut from the bedrock to predefined dimensions.
  • Reconstituted stone slabs, made by grinding the mineral and incorporating other materials and treatments before moulding.

Whether natural or reconstituted, stone slabs can be integrated into all styles of decoration and all types of installation.

Like concrete slabs, they can be laid sealed, glued, on pedestals or on a bed of sand.

 

Porcelain stoneware tiles: a material similar to outdoor tiles

Ceramic tiles are made from porcelain stoneware. This material is used to manufacture outdoor tiles of the same name. For this reason, they form a separate category, often included with outdoor tiles.

Porcelain stoneware outdoor tiles are a first-choice material for creating a tiled terrace. Ceramic paving is appreciated for its excellent aesthetic appeal. These tiles have a sober appearance that lends elegance to outdoor spaces in general and terraces in particular.

In terms of installation, porcelain stoneware can be laid in any way, including on pedestals, despite being thinner than other types of paving. For installation on pedestals, the tile must be at least 2 cm thick and comply with the QB UPEC F+ standard.

 

Wooden tiles: perfect for small areas

Also known as decking, wooden tiles are often associated with decking boards. And for good reason, as they are made from bio-based material. However, some decking is made from composite, a mixture of wood fibres and synthetic materials.

Wooden tiles or decking are also very lightweight. Installing decking is therefore very different from installing other types of tiles. It is also very easy, as they simply need to be laid on the ground, provided that it is smooth and level. It should be noted that they can also be laid on joists.
