Paving technology advantages
- Dry installation is easy and fast, without adhesives or grouts.
- Slabs can be taken up and used again for other applications.
- Easy to clean and stain resistant.
- Aggregate layers provide practical drainage and support.
Gravel Paving
Gravel paving uses compacted aggregate layers to support outdoor porcelain tiles without a fully bonded cement system. It is useful for gardens, walkways and open exterior areas where drainage and future surface adjustment matter.

Construction Guide
The steps keep the catalogue's technical intent while making the text readable on desktop and mobile.
Determine the dimensions and shape of the paving area. Mark boundaries with wooden stakes and string, then clear grass, debris and vegetation.
Excavate the site to approximately 15-20cm, or 6-8 inches, to provide space for gravel and outdoor tiles.
Lay a 5-10cm layer of crushed stone within the excavated area and compact it with a tamper or plate compactor.
Spread a 5-7cm layer of coarse sand or gravel over the compacted stone, rake it level and compact it to support the tiles.
Begin from one corner and place tiles in rows or columns, keeping alignment and uniform gaps. Trim tiles when necessary.
Sweep fine sand or gravel into joints, compact gently, clean the site and lightly spray water to help the joint material settle.
Project Notes
Use these notes during sample confirmation, quotation and installer coordination.
Inspect the surface, joints and edge restraints so the paved area remains even over time.
Use gravel paving for garden floors, informal walkways and outdoor areas that benefit from practical drainage.
