Porcelain Planks

Long-Format Porcelain Paving for Modern Spaces

Porcelain plank tiles bring the long, narrow format of traditional planks together with the practical qualities of porcelain. Their elongated shape creates a distinctive alternative to standard square and rectangular tiles, making them suitable for creating directional layouts and contemporary interior or exterior designs.

At Stonecera, our porcelain plank collection includes County Anthracite Porcelain and County LGY Porcelain. Both are available in a 20mm thickness with an R11 finish, while the collection offers 150 × 900mm and 600 × 900mm formats for different design requirements.

What Are Porcelain Plank Tiles?

Porcelain plank tiles are long-format porcelain tiles designed to create a more linear appearance than conventional paving or floor tiles. The rectangular proportions can be used to emphasise the length or direction of a space, making them particularly useful for patios, garden paths, terraces, living spaces and other areas where you want the paving pattern to become part of the overall design.

The 150 × 900mm format creates a classic plank-like appearance, while the larger 600 × 900mm format offers a broader contemporary layout. Depending on the project, planks can be laid in straight, staggered or other planned patterns to create different visual effects.

Why Choose Porcelain Plank Tiles?

Long-Format Design

The elongated proportions of porcelain planks create a strong sense of direction across a surface. This makes them an interesting alternative to conventional paving formats and allows you to create layouts that feel structured and contemporary.

Durable Porcelain Construction

Porcelain is a popular choice for areas that need a durable and practical surface. Our porcelain plank range is available in a 20mm thickness and an R11 finish, providing specifications suited to outdoor paving applications.

Low-Maintenance Surface

Porcelain paving is easy to maintain compared with many natural materials. Regular cleaning can help keep the surface looking its best without the routine sealing that is commonly associated with some natural stone products.

Flexible Design Options

Porcelain planks can be used to create different visual styles depending on the colour, format and laying pattern selected. Darker shades can provide a stronger contemporary contrast, while grey tones offer a more neutral foundation for modern landscaping and architectural spaces.

County Anthracite and County LGY Porcelain Planks

Our current porcelain plank collection features two colour options, allowing you to choose between a deeper and lighter contemporary appearance.

County Anthracite Porcelain provides a deep black tone for projects where you want stronger contrast and a more defined appearance. It is available in 150 × 900mm and 600 × 900mm formats, with a 20mm thickness and R11 finish.

For a softer alternative, County LGY Porcelain offers a grey tone that can work well with lighter walls, natural planting, timber and contemporary outdoor furniture. It is also available in 150 × 900mm and 600 × 900mm formats with a 20mm thickness and R11 finish.

Where Can Porcelain Plank Tiles Be Used?

Porcelain planks can be incorporated into a variety of design schemes, depending on the particular product and installation requirements. Outdoors, they can be used to create patios, terraces, garden paths and defined entertaining areas. Their linear format can also help introduce direction into larger paved spaces.

Porcelain Plank Layout Ideas

The way porcelain planks are positioned can have a significant effect on the finished design. A simple staggered layout can create a traditional plank-inspired appearance, while aligned rows can give a more structured contemporary finish.

For longer patios and garden paths, laying the planks in the direction of the space can emphasise its length. Alternatively, changing the direction of the pattern can help visually define different zones within a larger outdoor area.

Colour can also change the character of the finished space. Dark County Anthracite Porcelain can create a bold contrast with lighter landscaping, while County LGY Porcelain provides a more understated grey foundation.

Installing Porcelain Plank Tiles

Correct preparation and installation are essential for achieving a durable porcelain paving surface. The appropriate sub-base, bedding method, drainage, priming and jointing system should be selected according to the project and installation conditions.

Before starting an installation, our guide How to Lay Porcelain Slabs: A Step-by-Step Guide provides useful information on preparation, equipment and the installation process. You can also read How to Lay Outdoor Porcelain Tiles for further guidance specifically related to exterior porcelain paving.

Porcelain Planks for Contemporary Spaces

The long format of porcelain planks makes them useful when you want the paving or flooring pattern to contribute to the character of a space. Grey and black tones can complement modern architecture, while carefully planned laying patterns can create visual continuity across patios, terraces and other areas.

If you are still deciding between different types of porcelain, our guide Porcelain vs Ceramic Tiles: What Should You Choose and Why? explains some of the key differences between the two materials and can help you understand which option may be appropriate for your project.

Choosing the Right Porcelain Planks

Choosing the right plank is ultimately about balancing appearance, format and the requirements of your project. Consider the colour you want to introduce, the size of the area, the preferred laying pattern and the technical specification required for the installation.
