Create an instant focal point in your garden with Porcelain Circular Paving — precision-made porcelain circle kits and circular paving sets that give you a clean, modern centrepiece with the low-maintenance performance of porcelain. Ideal for patios, pool surrounds, seating areas and formal garden features, our porcelain circle kits are engineered for British weather and built to last. A Porcelain Circle Kit is a pre-designed set of shaped porcelain pieces (centre keystone + concentric rings) supplied with an optional squaring-off pack so you can install a perfect circle quickly — without complex templating or special cutting. Porcelain circle kits are manufactured to tight tolerances, so joints sit neat and the pattern reads cleanly at any scale.
Designed for UK weather: our porcelain circles are frost resistant and made for outdoor use so they handle wet, cold UK conditions without spalling or colour change.
Drive-quality, low maintenance material: porcelain is vitrified and non-porous — resistant to staining, algae and fading — so your circle stays looking great with occasional cleaning.
Precision fit & consistent finish: machine-rectified edges and consistent thickness means tight joints and a premium finish when laid.
Safe underfoot: outdoor porcelain circle kits are commonly supplied at 20 mm thickness with textured anti-slip finishes (often R11 rated) — suitable for terraces, poolside and family patios.
Quick to lay: numbered kits and squaring-off packs reduce time on site — perfect for landscapers and savvy DIYers who want a fast, predictable result.
Porcelain circle kits come in a wide range of finishes to suit your style:
Stone-effect porcelain — neutral greys and warm stone tones for contemporary or classic schemes.
Concrete/industrial finishes — smooth, modern looks for minimalist gardens.
Textured anti-slip finishes — required for poolside or wet areas and commonly offered on outdoor ranges.
Set out & mark centre — confirm position and diameter before you dig.
Excavate & prepare base — compacted Type 1 sub-base recommended for a stable, long-lasting patio (deeper if trafficked).
Bedding & laying — porcelain circles are often bedded on a mortar or adhesive bed depending on the range — follow the product installation guide. Many kits are numbered to make ring laying quick.
Squaring off & finishing — fit the squaring-off kit and matching slabs to blend the circle into the surrounding paving.
If you’d prefer, we can recommend trusted installers or supply a free downloadable laying guide with every circle kit order.
