The ground is prepared and compacted before a suitable full mortar bed is installed.
- 03
Slabs are primed, laid to planned falls and cut carefully around fixed features.

Joints, exposed edges and transitions are finished neatly before the area is cleaned and handed over.

Does porcelain need to be laid on a full mortar bed?
A suitable full mortar bed and the correct primer are normally important parts of a professional exterior porcelain installation.
Can porcelain be used for steps and paths?
Yes. Porcelain can be used across patios, paths and steps so the garden has a coordinated finish, subject to the practical details of the site.
