Marmo Anthracite Porcelain

For this project, Shire Driveways and Patios Derby transformed an outdoor space into a stylish and functional patio area, using Marmo Anthracite Porcelain slabs with a light plank border for a sleek contrast.

The client wanted a modern, low-maintenance patio that would complement their outdoor space and provide a durable area for relaxation and entertaining.

The combination of the deep anthracite tones with the light plank edging created a sophisticated and contemporary look, enhancing the overall appearance of the garden.

Challenges & Requirements

  • The client wanted a modern and elegant patio that would enhance their outdoor space.
  • A durable and weather-resistant surface was essential for year-round use.
  • The light plank border was included to add definition and contrast to the dark anthracite slabs.

The Installation Process

  • Ground Preparation: We began by excavating the area and leveling the ground, ensuring a solid sub-base for long-term stability.
  • Laying the Marmo Anthracite Porcelain:
    • The Marmo Anthracite slabs were carefully positioned to create a seamless, high-end finish.
    • Precision spacing and grout application ensured a flawless look.
  • Adding the Light Plank Border:
    • The light plank edging was installed around the patio’s perimeter, creating a striking contrast against the dark anthracite porcelain.
    • This added a structured, stylish frame to the patio area.
  • Final Touches & Sealing: The patio was cleaned and sealed to protect it from the elements, ensuring a long-lasting, easy-to-maintain finish.

The Result

The completed Marmo Anthracite Porcelain Patio has completely transformed the outdoor space, creating a chic, modern, and inviting area. The contrast of the light plank border against the deep anthracite porcelain enhances the design, making it a standout feature in the garden.
