Really nice looking patio tiles. Though a big styling mistake people make is have a grey base and furnishing it with grey too. Folks, grey goes well with everything except itself.

[@foreststoneuk]

Yeah I agree - too much grey is not good. Nice to add some pops of colour here and there!

I have porcelain. I have to jet wash mine every year. They go green with algae.

[@garryallison4716]

Yes, but they come back up the same. Sandstone weakens and loses its colour through time. Porcelain won’t do that. The pointing is bound to go right enough!

Our natural stone has gone green too

[@foreststoneuk]

To be honest all paving goes green if left uncleaned in wet conditions but natural stone is just a bit tougher to clean! Cleaning products like Lithofin's Outdoor Cleaner can help with this. Thanks for watching!

And ofcourse in India all the british structure made up of natural stone not a artificial one. And because of natural stone structural all the british made buildings are still strong and surviving from last 20 decades. No competition with natural stones

Unfortunately all paving will get deposits building up on the surface but in our experience porcelain is much easier to clean than sandstone and you can usually get great results without a pressure washer. For example our displays feature sandstone directly next to porcelain. In late February the sandstones were quite green and couldn't be cleaned with a simple hose off and brush (we actually had to clean them twice with a chemical) whereas the porcelain, due to its non-absorbent nature, came up great with just water and a yard broom!

Thinking about ice and snow conditions...how does porcelain tiles fare compared to Indian stone tiles please?
