The variety and veracity of wood-look porcelain pavers realistically replicate the timber tones of so many species. The most avant-garde ranges include the silver tones of birch, through tints of teak and hazelnut, to ashen oak and ebony.
Across the breadth and depth of Minoli’s wood-look collections, specific ranges offer up distinctly different aesthetic qualities to support the trend of incorporating natural finishes into both traditional and modern garden designs.
The very latest advancements in wood-effect porcelain have seen the introduction of outdoor specification product lines, with a 20 mm thickness and R11 slip resistance ratings.
With these exterior use attributes, Minoli’s wood-look ranges are often specified as alternatives to timber or composite decking. Over natural wood, porcelain tiles have practical advantages in that they will not shrink, split or splinter, warp or show wear, and they are ultimately easier to clean and maintain.
Being almost impervious to moisture and dirt, they are better suited for use in humid and wet areas, will not rot or allow algae to adhere, and are highly resistant to extreme temperatures.
Porcelain tiles can also be manufactured in a wider range of colours but with greater consistency. Higher pattern frequencies ensure the diversity and distribution of the design appears organic, but production in parcels using the same batch of raw materials ensures a homogeneous chromatic finish.
The wood-effect series of outdoor porcelain paving that Minoli hold in plentiful UK stock, ready for prompt delivery from our Oxford warehouse include:
Twelvenoon Honey
Available from stock in the Honey colourway, in 30/120 dimensions, Twelvenoon has the wonderful warmth of weathered wood with all the natural knots and gorgeous graining you would expect in the original material, but with all the advantages of precision-production porcelain. Unlike true timber, porcelain tiles are impervious to water, oil and dirt, and resistant to damage from frost or heat.

Twenty Mist
The Mist design has a mix of pearl and pewter to create a highly contemporary surface design. As a wood-effect range, it’s quite unique to have a timber-look tile in a square 60/60 format, which can be laid with the grain in alternate directions to create an almost chequer-board pattern

Twenty Thunder
The Thunder colourway is a deep and dark grainy grey, with a distinctive, characterful surface design and a durable, fade resistant finish. Also stocked in a 60/60 size with a 20 mm thickness, the textured surface offers slip-resistance whilst being perfectly comfortable underfoot, with precise rectified edges.

Beyond this extensive UK stockholding, such is the traction of the trend for optimising outdoor spaces, many other different Outdoor product designs are available to order with very reasonable lead times from the production plant in Italy. These include Essenza Oudh, and the new Gyliane series.
