County Crema Outdoor Porcelain Paving Tiles - 900x600 - 20mm

Most grey paving is, well, grey. County Crema takes a different route - soft, creamy beige tones that bring genuine warmth to outdoor spaces. It's that colour you see in Mediterranean courtyards or upmarket hotel terraces, and it works surprisingly well in British gardens too. Feels inviting rather than stark, which makes a real difference.

The Colour

Crema sits somewhere between beige and soft cream, with subtle stone variations running through it. Not yellow (thank goodness - we've all seen those go wrong), just warm and welcoming. The kind of colour that makes outdoor spaces feel like extensions of your home rather than just... outside.

The stone-effect finish adds depth and character without being too rustic. It reads as natural and organic, which is probably why it works across so many different garden styles - from traditional cottage gardens to contemporary minimalist spaces.

One of the best things about warmer tones like this is how they make spaces feel. Where grey can sometimes feel a bit cool or clinical, crema brings this lovely welcoming quality. Your patio genuinely feels more inviting, which sounds like marketing nonsense but is actually true when you're sitting out there.

Can It Handle British Weather?

Absolutely. These are 20 mm thick outdoor porcelain tiles built specifically for exterior use. Frost doesn't crack them, rain doesn't damage them, and they're tough enough to cope with dropped plant pots, dragged furniture, whatever daily life throws at them.

The textured, anti-slip surface works well too. Even after rain, you've got solid grip underfoot - important when you're carrying drinks outside or rushing about.

At 900×600 mm per tile, you're covering decent ground with each one. Fewer tiles to lay, fewer grout lines to clean, more seamless overall look. All good things.

Maintenance - The Real Story

Porcelain's superpower is how little it needs doing to it. That non-porous surface means spills and dirt sit on top rather than soaking in. Moss doesn't really establish itself. Algae struggles too.

Most of the time you're just sweeping off leaves and giving it an occasional wash with the hose. Maybe some soapy water if something's been spilled or you're freshening up before guests arrive. That's genuinely the extent of it.

No sealing required (unlike natural limestone or travertine where you're doing it annually). No special cleaners. No treatments. Just sweep when it needs it, wash occasionally, done.

The warmer colour is quite forgiving with marks too - doesn't show every speck of dust like pure white would, but stays bright enough to feel fresh.

Where It Really Shines

County Crema works beautifully in:

• Traditional or cottage-style gardens where warm tones fit naturally
• Mediterranean-inspired outdoor spaces
• Around warm-toned brickwork or render
• Entertaining areas - creates that welcoming vibe
• Gardens where you want softness rather than stark modernity
