Old Manor

The Old Manor collection features a parquet wood effect that replicates the classic geometric pattern and warm tones of traditional timber parquet flooring. The natural matt finish enhances the authentic appearance and provides a tactile, non-reflective surface that suits both contemporary and period-style outdoor spaces. This makes Old Manor an excellent choice if you want the character of wood without the upkeep.

Yes, the Old Manor range includes co-ordinating indoor floor tiles in a 900x900x10.5mm format that complement the outdoor paving slabs, allowing you to create a harmonious flow from your interior to your garden or terrace. This inside-outside continuity is a popular design choice for bi-fold door spaces and open-plan living areas. Simply browse the co-ordinating indoor tiles alongside the outdoor version on the Stoke Tiles website.

Yes, as a porcelain product the Old Manor outdoor slabs are highly resistant to frost, making them a durable and dependable choice for UK patios and paths throughout the year. Porcelain has a very low water absorption rate, which means water is far less likely to penetrate the tile surface and cause damage during freezing temperatures. You can enjoy the wood-effect aesthetic outdoors without the seasonal maintenance concerns associated with real timber decking.

The Old Manor paving slabs feature rectified edges, which means they are precision-cut to consistent dimensions, making installation more straightforward and allowing for a neat, uniform finish. For outdoor porcelain tiles of this type, a minimum 3mm grout joint is generally recommended to allow for slight movement caused by temperature changes, though your installer may advise a slightly wider joint depending on the specific site conditions. Always use a flexible, exterior-grade grout and adhesive for outdoor applications.

One of the main advantages of choosing a porcelain wood-effect tile over real timber is the minimal maintenance required. The Old Manor outdoor tiles can be kept clean with regular sweeping and occasional washing down with water, and they will not warp, splinter, or require re-sealing the way natural wood does. For any stubborn stains, use a pH-neutral outdoor tile cleaner and avoid abrasive tools that could scratch the surface finish.
