Anthracite Wood Porcelain Paving Planks 300x1200x20 MM

Combine the warm, tactile appeal of natural timber decking with the unyielding strength of vitrified stone using Anthracite Wood Porcelain Paving Planks (300x1200x20mm). Supplied by Paving and Slabs Ltd in full project packs covering 23.04 SQM (64 Slabs Per Pack), these high-performance outdoor planks feature a deep anthracite grey tone complete with realistic wood-grain textures. The stylish 300x1200mm plank format creates dynamic directional lines that elongate patio spaces, giving modern courtyards and garden terraces a sleek, architectural decking aesthetic.

Manufactured using state-of-the-art vitrified porcelain technology, these 20mm heavy-duty calibrated paving planks possess an ultra-dense structural core. The non-porous face repels water absorption, preventing freeze-thaw splitting, moss infestation, and organic staining. Enjoy the sophisticated look of timber-style outdoor flooring without the splintering, rotting, warping, or relentless annual staining required by natural wood decking.

Modern Wood-Effect Aesthetics for Urban Outdoor Living

Dark wood-effect paving serves as an exceptionally stylish alternative to traditional timber or composite decking. Anthracite Wood Porcelain Planks integrate effortlessly with contemporary garden features, including rendered masonry, glass balustrades, metallic garden furniture, and rich green architectural plants. Laying these 300x1200mm planks in staggered bond or linear patterns brings clean, directional geometry that makes balcony terraces, garden pathways, and patio seating areas feel expansive and modern.

Professional Installation Parameters

To secure a level, lifelong layout, Anthracite Wood porcelain planks must be laid over a compacted MOT Type 1 aggregate sub-base upon a full continuous wet mortar bed (typically a 4:1 sharp sand to cement mix). Never utilize spot-bedding or 'dot-and-dab' techniques under any circumstances; omitting full cement coverage beneath the planks creates structural voids that trap moisture and crack easily under load. Because vitrified stoneware cannot absorb liquids from the bedding mix, a high-strength outdoor SBR porcelain bonding slurry primer must be painted onto the back of every plank immediately before laying to ensure strong adhesion.

Maintain precise 3 to 5mm joint gaps and set up a consistent drainage fall of 1 in 80 away from building structural walls. Upkeep remains exceptionally straightforward—because organic debris sits loosely on top of the non-porous face without absorbing into the tile core, routine sweeping and an occasional wash with warm soapy water or a light pressure washer keep the dark wood finish looking pristine year after year.
