Quartz White Outdoor Porcelain Edging - 900x200 - 20mm

Edging is one of those things people either ignore completely or obsess over. If you're in the latter camp and want your paving to look properly finished rather than just... ending, white porcelain edging makes a real difference. It's that crisp line that separates "DIY job" from "professionally done," and it's tougher than it looks.

What It Does

Functionally, it defines boundaries - between paving and lawn, paving and gravel, paving and planting. Keeps everything in its place and stops your carefully laid slabs from shifting at the edges.

Visually though? That's where it earns its keep. The bright white creates this clean, sharp line that just lifts the whole look. Particularly effective if you're using darker paving - the contrast is brilliant. But even with lighter slabs, it adds definition and makes everything look more intentional and finished.

Works well in contemporary gardens where clean lines matter, but also suits traditional spaces if you want crisp edges rather than that slightly messy, informal look.

Will It Last?

It's porcelain, same material as good quality paving. Handles frost without cracking, doesn't mind getting wet, and it's solid enough to cope with lawnmower bumps and the occasional knocked wheelbarrow.

The white stays white too - that non-porous surface means dirt and stains don't sink in. Unlike concrete edging that can discolour or get patchy over time, porcelain maintains that fresh appearance with minimal effort.

Dense construction means it won't chip easily either. Obviously if you really whack it with something heavy it might crack (anything would), but for normal garden use it's properly robust.

Installation Reality

If you can lay paving, you can install edging. It's actually simpler because the pieces are smaller and more manageable. You're basically setting them on a mortar bed along the edge of your paving - straightforward stuff.

The uniform shape and straight edges make getting clean lines easier. No wonky bits or variation between pieces that you need to compensate for. Just set them level and in line, job done.

Pairs particularly well with porcelain paving because you're matching materials - everything sits at the same height, has the same durability, ages (or doesn't age) at the same rate. Looks cohesive rather than like you've mixed random materials.

Maintenance - What's Involved?

Honestly? Almost nothing. The white might show marks more readily than darker edging (standard white material behaviour), but because it's porcelain, those marks just sit on the surface.

Quick brush or wash when you're cleaning your paving and it's fresh again. Takes seconds. No sealing, no special treatment, no worrying about it deteriorating.

Moss and algae don't really establish themselves on porcelain, which helps. And because the edging is usually upright rather than horizontal, debris doesn't settle on it like it would on flat surfaces anyway.

Where It Works

White porcelain edging suits:

• Defining patio edges against lawn or gravel
• Lining garden paths and walkways
• Creating borders around planting beds
• Edging driveways (where you need something tough)
• Contemporary gardens where clean lines matter
• Anywhere you want that finished, professional look
