Celebrating the art of garden design with the Outdoor By Minoli Collection

As interest in garden design and landscaping increases around the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, it seems timely for us to share the latest updates to the Outdoor by Minoli Collection, a comprehensive and creative series of porcelain paving, specifically manufactured for use outside.

These ranges feature the latest in tile manufacturing methodologies. Advancements in production allow for more expansive sizes, 20 mm thickness, increased load bearing and frost resistance, anti-slip qualities and higher-definition surface design, resulting in an unprecedented diversity of textures and finishes.

In concrete and wood effects through to those that emulate natural stone and now marble, many in the extensive Outdoor by Minoli collection have coordinating interior tiles to match, so very consistent indoor to outside transitions can be achieved.

New designs, colours and finishes have also seen porcelain paving considered for and used in a much wider range of exterior surface settings including patios, terraces and paths but also balconies, stairways, pool and pond surrounds and outdoor kitchens, for instance.

This is in part made possible by the introduction of alternative fixing solutions. Alongside using traditional adhesive and grout, given the weight and strength of 20 mm porcelain, these pavers can also be laid to grass or earth, or installed onto new pedestal systems which offer improved drainage and easier access to pipework or cabling.

These innovations and the constant evolution and expansion of the ranges, allow garden designers and professional landscapers to imagine new applications for exterior use porcelain. At this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show we’re expecting to see porcelain paving used in more diverse ways within both classic and contemporary settings that cleverly combine hard and soft landscaping within their designs.

The sheer breadth and depth of the Minoli product portfolio, in terms of the variety of tones and the wide choice of surface treatments, provides so many options for combining them with different coloured and textured planting and other material installations such as wood and water, metalwork and mirrors, furniture and sculptures.

Launched as a brand-new series mid-last year, the Outdoor By Minoli Collection features 10 distinct ranges, comprising over 100 individual product lines, 36 of which we hold in plentiful UK stock, ready for prompt delivery. Beyond this extensive UK stockholding in our centrally located Oxford warehouse, such is the traction of this trend for optimising outdoor spaces, a further 80+ product lines are available for order from Minoli’s production partners in Italy.

As are often required to complete projects in outside settings, special pieces can also be ordered, such as edging, drainage, step treads and corner trims, and we can also arrange for the material to be delivered to a third-party finisher if required.

With our own fleet of trucks and drivers, we’re ready to deliver to clients throughout the Home Counties, London, Southern England and South Midlands, or nationally through our partner carrier.
