Exeter Bronze Porcelain Paving Slabs 900x600x20 MM (21.6 SQM, 40 Slabs Per Pack) From £25.40/m2

Exeter Bronze Porcelain Paving Slabs & Patio Packs

Introduce warmth, industrial modernism, and raw architectural character to your outdoor living area with Exeter Bronze Porcelain Paving. Available in two versatile options—our uniform 900x600mm Single Slabs (SKU: PS-EXETER-90-60) and our multi-format Patio Packs (SKU: PS-EXETER-PP)—these vitrified slabs feature rich copper undertones, metallic rust detailing, and warm earthy tones that mimic weathered stone and patinated metal.

Engineered for high-end residential landscaping and commercial applications, Exeter Bronze adds depth and character to garden patios, dining terraces, pathways, and outdoor seating zones in Exeter and throughout the UK. The non-porous 20mm vitrified core delivers all the aesthetic advantages of metallic stone without the rust staining, degradation, or sealing demands of natural materials.

High-Performance Vitrified Porcelain Engineering

Manufactured using vitrified porcelain technology, Exeter Bronze slabs are fired at intense temperatures exceeding 1200°C. This process fuses raw minerals into a dense, non-porous structure with water absorption levels under 0.5%. Moisture cannot enter the slab core, making Exeter Bronze fully frost-resistant and immune to winter freeze-thaw damage, surface spalling, or micro-cracking.

Equipped with an R11 slip-resistance rating, these slabs maintain safety underfoot on wet days, around outdoor kitchens, or along garden walkways. Explore our full range of durable finishes in the Porcelain Paving Collection.

Industrial Modern & Earthy Garden Design Inspiration

The rich earthy copper and patinated rust textures of Exeter Bronze paving create visual depth that complements contemporary architectural elements. The warm metallic tones contrast with corten steel garden features, black aluminium pergolas, dark timber sleepers, and lush green planting.

Choose between the clean, expansive lines of our single-size 900x600mm format or the traditional random-coursing visual movement of our multi-size patio packs. Browse similar location-specific projects on our Porcelain Paving Exeter Page.

Low-Maintenance Outdoor Flooring

Unlike natural metals or porous stones that demand ongoing sealing and specialized chemical treatments, vitrified porcelain is exceptionally low-maintenance. The non-porous body blocks spilled wine, barbecue grease, leaf tannins, and moss from penetrating the surface.

Routine maintenance is simple: periodic sweeping and an occasional wash with clean water or a mild patio detergent keeps your bronze paving looking new. Read our complete guide on how to clean and maintain paving slabs long-term for best practices.

Installation Guidelines & Sub-Base Advice

To ensure structural stability and long-term performance, install Exeter Bronze paving using professional laying practices:

1. Sub-Base Preparation: Excavate the area and lay a 100mm–150mm sub-base of well-compacted MOT Type 1 aggregate.
2. Full Wet Mortar Bed: Lay slabs on a continuous, full mortar bed (4:1 sand to cement ratio). Do not use spot-bedding or dot-and-dab methods, as hollow voids compromise load-bearing strength.
3. Porcelain Slurry Primer: Because vitrified porcelain is non-porous, apply an SBR-based porcelain slurry primer thoroughly to the reverse of every slab before placing on the wet mortar bed.
4. Grouting & Spacing: Use tile spacers to maintain a 3mm to 5mm joint gap, and finish with a flexible exterior porcelain grout.
