Everest Pearl Outdoor Porcelain Paving Tiles - 900x600 - 20mm

Sometimes you come across a colour that's just... nice. Not boring, not trying too hard, just genuinely pleasant to look at. That's Everest Pearl. It's got these soft pearl-grey tones with the faintest hint of cream running through - warm enough to feel inviting, but still fresh and contemporary.

The Colour Story

Think of it as grey's softer, warmer cousin. Where standard grey can sometimes feel a bit cold or stark, Everest Pearl has this gentle warmth to it. Those subtle cream undertones make all the difference - you get brightness without the clinical feel of pure white or pale grey.

The stone-effect surface adds texture and depth, so it doesn't look flat or artificial. And here's the clever bit - because it's quite light, it reflects sunlight beautifully. Makes outdoor spaces feel bigger and airier, which is brilliant if you're working with a smaller patio or a spot that doesn't get masses of direct sun.

Works with pretty much any style, too. Modern minimalist gardens, traditional cottage settings, Mediterranean-inspired courtyards - it just fits.

Tough Enough for Garden Life?

Definitely. These are 20 mm thick outdoor porcelain tiles - proper job stuff. They cope with frost, don't mind getting rained on, and they're not going to crack if you accidentally drop something heavy (we've all done it).

The anti-slip surface is genuinely useful. Even when wet, you've got decent grip underfoot. Important if you've got kids running about or elderly relatives visiting.

At 900×600 mm per tile, you're covering nearly half a square metre each time. Less time laying, fewer grout lines, cleaner overall look. Can't argue with that.

What's the Upkeep Like?

Minimal, honestly. That's the main reason people switch to porcelain from natural stone.

The surface is non-porous - dirt and spills sit on top rather than soaking in. Moss doesn't really take hold. Algae struggles. Most of the time you're just sweeping off leaves and maybe giving it a wash with the hose every now and then.

No sealing required. None of that annual faff you get with limestone or sandstone. Just the occasional clean when you fancy it or if something's been spilled. Easy.

The lighter colour does mean you'll spot dirt more quickly than you would on darker tiles, but that's not necessarily a bad thing - just means you give it a quick sweep and it looks fresh again.

Where It Really Works

Everest Pearl is particularly good for:

• Smaller patios that need brightening up
• Shaded areas that don't get full sun
• Around French doors or bifolds - creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow
• Entertaining spaces - photographs really well
• Gardens where you want a calm, tranquil vibe
