Pulse 20mm Collection

The Pulse 20mm tiles carry an R10 anti-slip rating, which makes them suitable for most residential outdoor areas including patios and garden paths. However, if your space is likely to be frequently wet or shaded – such as a poolside area – you may want to consider a tile with an R11 or higher rating for extra peace of mind.

Yes, the Pulse collection is constructed from durable porcelain, which is naturally frost-resistant and highly dense, meaning it can withstand the freeze-thaw cycles typical of UK winters without cracking or crumbling. The matt finish also helps to maintain its appearance over time without the fading you might see with lesser materials.

Rectified edges means each tile has been precision-cut to exact dimensions after firing, resulting in very consistent sizing and perfectly straight edges. This allows you to lay the Pulse tiles with minimal grout joints for a cleaner, more contemporary look – particularly useful when creating a seamless stone-effect patio design.

At 20mm thick, porcelain patio tiles are considerably heavier than standard wall or floor tiles, and the Pulse collection is no exception. We strongly recommend having at least two people on hand when unloading and laying these tiles, as each tile can weigh several kilograms and handling them alone increases the risk of injury or breakage.

Yes, the 20mm thickness of the Pulse tiles makes them well suited to dry-lay installation on compacted hardcore, gravel, or a pedestal system, as the extra depth gives them the structural strength to support foot traffic without a full mortar bed. This method also makes it easier to access drainage or services beneath the surface if needed in the future.
