They isolate walkways and patios cleanly from lawn grass or gravel beds, covering rough edge cuts on main tiles while enhancing overall spatial design with a premium, rectified framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch4\u003eDo these dark charcoal edging tiles require routine chemical sealing?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNo. Because these planks are manufactured using vitrified porcelain, they are natively non-porous. Unlike dark natural stone products which heavily absorb oils, liquids, and atmospheric contaminants, our porcelain completely repels stains and organic growth. They never require chemical sealing treatments to retain their deep midnight finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch4\u003eCan these edging planks be cut down to accommodate unique angles or curves?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes. The planks feature uniform structural composition and can be cleanly cut on-site to execute flawless mitred corners or unique custom lengths. It is highly recommended to use a wet-cutting bridge tile saw equipped with a continuous diamond blade specifically rated for high-density 20mm porcelain to ensure clean, chip-free edge lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paving and Slabs","offers":[{"title":"Manchester Midnight Edging Planks Paving 900x150x20 mm (154 Pcs\/20.8 SQM)","offer_id":48254221025534,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Manchester Midnight Edging Planks Paving 900x200x20 mm (126 Pcs\/22.68 SQM)","offer_id":47020351324414,"sku":"PS-29","price":699.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/3647\/5134\/files\/PHOTO-2021-07-29-13-44-127-1.webp_202606041733.jpg?v=1780576366","url":"https:\/\/pavingandslabs.co.uk\/products\/manchester-midnight-porcelain-edging-planks","provider":"Paving and Slabs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
