We install both. Porcelain is stunning in the right setting, but resin bound is often the smarter choice for larger gardens.
Seamless flow
Resin bound flows from patio, around raised beds, up to garden studios and around trees without a single grout line. Porcelain always needs cuts and joints.
Drainage
Porcelain requires falls, channels and often a soakaway. Resin bound drains straight through, which matters for larger patios or shaded gardens.
Cost
Quality porcelain installed lands at £180–£220/m². Resin bound is £170/m² + VAT with a faster install.
