Why porcelain is winning over Wivenhoe homeowners

Ever noticed how traditional stone patios start to look a bit green and tired after a damp Essex winter? That’s because natural stone is porous, meaning it soaks up water and provides a perfect home for moss and algae. Vitrified porcelain is different. Because it’s fired at incredibly high temperatures, it's almost entirely non-porous. This means it won't absorb stains, it won't fade in the sun, and those annoying black spots won't stand a chance.One of the biggest concerns we hear from homeowners is about safety. You might be wondering, "Isn't porcelain slippery when it's wet?" Actually, it's the opposite. We only install porcelain with an R11 slip rating. This is the industry gold standard for outdoor tiles, providing a textured surface that gives you plenty of grip underfoot, even after a heavy downpour or a frosty morning. It’s the perfect choice for families with kids or anyone who wants a bit more peace of mind when stepping outside.

Who We Are

The Foster secret to a patio that lasts

We've seen far too many patios in the Colchester area fail because someone took a shortcut during the installation. Porcelain is a premium material, and it needs to be treated with respect. You can't just 'spot-dab' these slabs and hope for the best. At Foster and Sons, we always lay our tiles on a full bed of mortar. This ensures there are no hollow gaps underneath that could lead to cracking or rocking later on.Because porcelain is so dense, it doesn't naturally want to stick to concrete. That’s why we use a high-grade slurry primer (SBR) on the back of every single slab. It acts like a super-strength glue, creating a permanent bond between the tile and the foundation. It’s these little technical details—the things you won't see once the job is finished—that ensure your new patio stays level and beautiful for decades. Plus, with our £5 million public liability insurance, you can rest easy knowing your property is in safe hands while we work.

Seamless design and low-maintenance luxury

Imagine walking out of your kitchen onto a patio that looks exactly like your indoor flooring. This 'indoor-outdoor' transition is a huge trend right now, and porcelain is the only material that really pulls it off. Because most of our slabs have rectified edges—meaning they are machine-cut to be perfectly square—we can use ultra-thin grout lines. This creates a smooth, continuous look that makes even a smaller Wivenhoe garden feel much more spacious.The best part? The maintenance is almost non-existent. Forget about the pressure washer and the chemical cleaners. Most of our clients tell us that a quick bucket of soapy water and a brush once or twice a year is all it takes to keep their premium outdoor surfaces looking brand new. Whether you prefer the look of natural slate, warm limestone, or even textured timber, we have a range of colours and finishes that won't scratch or scuff, no matter how much furniture you move around or how many pets you have running about.
