Product Description
County LGY porcelain brings a perfect blend of contemporary minimalist design and countryside elegance to your outdoor spaces. Stocked right here for the UK market, these premium 20mm silver grey porcelain paving slabs provide a smooth, luxurious finish that completely transforms modern patios, pathways, and driveways.
What is County LGY Porcelain?
County LGY is a highly sought after outdoor ceramic tile featuring a relaxed silver grey porcelain tone with subtle, natural looking striped variations that mimic floated architectural concrete. In the popular 900x600mm large format, these county lgy porcelain tiles create a sense of spaciousness with a seamless, expansive look that makes a strong visual impact. It belongs to the renowned County series, serving as a bright, airy alternative to our darker County Anthracite Porcelain Paving.
Contractor and Specifier Note
To meet BS 7533 installation standards, vitrified outdoor porcelain must be installed on a full wet mortar bed. Because county light grey porcelain has a porosity rate below 0.5 percent, standard mortar cannot grip the tile. Contractors must apply a polymer modified SBR slurry primer to the reverse of every slab immediately before laying to guarantee a permanent structural bond that resists winter freeze thaw damage.
Sizes Available
| Size | Common Use |
|---|---|
| 600 x 900mm | Patios, modern terraces, and domestic driveways. This is the most popular format for silver porcelain paving slabs in the UK market. |
| 600 x 600mm | Courtyards, smaller patios, pathways, and stepping stones. |
Thickness: The slabs are exactly 20mm thick, featuring precision rectified edges to allow for crisp, ultra tight 3mm grout joints.
Finish and Safety
Designed specifically to handle the unpredictable British climate, our silver grey porcelain paving features a highly durable textured matte surface. For guaranteed safety underfoot, it carries a mandatory R11 anti slip rating and achieves a PTV 36+ score on the pendulum test. Because it undergoes total vitrification during manufacturing, it boasts a water absorption rate of less than 0.50 percent, actively preventing the build up of moss, mould, and green algae that plagues traditional porous natural sandstone.

County LGY vs. County Anthracite
Choosing between the two depends entirely on your design goals. County LGY porcelain brings an aura of sophistication, harmony, and bright refinement to shaded or smaller UK gardens.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is County LGY porcelain suitable for driveways?
Yes. At 20mm thick, these county lgy porcelain tiles offer heavy load bearing capabilities. When installed on a fully engineered reinforced concrete sub base, they are perfectly safe and highly durable for residential driveways.
Will silver grey porcelain paving go green with algae in the winter?
No. Because it undergoes total vitrification and has a water absorption rate of less than 0.50 percent, water cannot penetrate the surface. This makes our silver porcelain paving highly resistant to frost, water stains, algae, mould, and black spot lichen.
Do I need to seal County LGY porcelain tiles?
Not at all. Unlike natural stone, silver porcelain paving slabs require absolutely no chemical sealing. They are virtually stain proof. However, we do mandate using an SBR porcelain primer on the reverse of the tiles during installation to ensure a solid bond with the mortar base.
Does County LGY match County Anthracite?
They share the exact same premium manufacturing standards, texture, and countryside aesthetic. However, county lgy is a bright, airy light silver grey, whereas County Anthracite is a deep charcoal black.
