Quartz White Outdoor Porcelain Paving Tiles - 900x600 - 20mm

If Himalayan White feels a bit too plain for you, Quartz White might be more your speed. It's still white - still bright, still creates that open, airy feel - but it's got these lovely subtle veins running through it that add depth and interest. Looks more like natural stone, less like uniform tiles. Still a bold choice, but with a bit more going on visually.

What Sets It Apart

The quartz-inspired veining is what makes this one different. Soft, delicate lines that weave across the surface - never too dramatic, just enough to catch the eye and add character. Combined with gentle tonal variation, it creates this organic, natural look that's surprisingly convincing.

Still reads as white and still brightens spaces like white paving does, but there's more visual interest than flat, uniform white. The veining gives it movement and depth - makes larger paved areas more engaging rather than just one big expanse of white.

The matte stone-effect surface handles light well. Brightens outdoor areas without harsh glare, and those subtle veins create little shadows and highlights throughout the day. Quite beautiful when the sun hits it at certain angles.

Practical Performance

These are proper 20 mm thick outdoor porcelain tiles built for British weather. Handle frost, rain, impacts - all the usual stuff gardens throw at paving. The textured anti-slip surface works even when wet, which matters with white paving that might get slippery.

At 900×600 mm per tile, you're covering decent ground. Fewer tiles needed, fewer grout lines, cleaner overall look. The large format actually suits the veining pattern - gives it room to flow naturally rather than being chopped up.

The Maintenance Question

Right, let's address the elephant in the room - it's white, so yes, it shows dirt. But the veining actually helps mask minor marks between cleans better than plain white would. Those subtle patterns hide dust and pollen surprisingly well.

Because it's porcelain with a non-porous surface, dirt sits on top and washes off easily. Spills don't stain - coffee, wine, mud, whatever - they clean up without leaving marks. Try that with natural marble or limestone and you'd be in trouble.

You'll still need to sweep regularly (probably twice weekly if you're particular) and wash it down every week or two. But the cleaning itself is quick - ten minutes with a brush and hose. The non-porous surface makes it genuinely easy, you're just doing it more often.

No sealing required. No special products. Moss and algae don't really establish themselves. Just regular cleaning to keep it looking fresh.

Where It Works

Quartz White really suits:

• Contemporary gardens with a softer edge
• Spaces where you want brightness but also character
• Around modern extensions or glass doors
• Entertaining areas - looks expensive, photographs beautifully
• Mediterranean or coastal-inspired gardens
• Smaller spaces that benefit from maximum light
